    Paul Harvey, I think, was supposed to be a throwback to the great radio voices of the 30s and 40s, who also wove commercial pitches into their folksy commentary. As did liberal darling Garrison Keillor in the 80s/90s. It wasn't really that objectionable as long as you realized that's what he was doing.
    Harvey leaned right politically, the way your country grandpa probably did, but he wasn't nasty or vicious about it like Flushbo.
    And a fairly big percentage of his topic matter was legitimately non-political.

    Paul Harvey was like the flyover country meme factory before anyone could visualize such a thing.

    And while we are on the subject of cornpone radio from decades ago, I will cut any of you sumbitches that says anything bad about Leonard’s Losers.

    Try driving out 74 between Charlotte and the beach. After you lose 99.7, there is nothing until you can pick up 106.5 out of New Bern

    Imagine the press conference if Donald Trump was convinced there was such a thing as “another little batch of smart pills.”

    Chef-
    Were I a person of means I would buy one of those stations you mentioned just for fun. I don't even care where it's located.
