I’m sorry to hear ol’ Sleepy John back at the mic. The program is so worlds better when he’s gone, when either David Anoton Savage or Kevin Spitzer does the show. Sandige exemplifies the saying “you can’t teach an old dog new tricks.” It’s hard to believe that anyone can be as uninformed on a variety of important issues and be sitting in front of a mic doing a current events talk show. Furthermore, his style is abrasive if you disagree with him (i.e., when you try and inform him on what he should be informed about) he becomes thin-skinned and insulting, and projects his own anger on the caller. What compounds this problem is that the same few callers–his sycophant cronnies who dominate the talk–will call up defending his incompetence and bad radio style and bad-mouth you. I can’t tell you what a refreshing, interesting, and better talk-show it is without Sleepy John.
I’m requesting that you give ol’ Sleepy John a permanent vacation and give us a talk-show host who is worthy of “the most listened to college station” and the bar set by Bob Debolt, who originally had this show.
