    We have the bitchfest going on about "SC6" here - and Mike and Jemele are not in unique company here at a site that has not traditionally been kind to talk radio/TV - but what are some shows you enjoy?

    I have always enjoyed Dan Bernstein's how on The Score in Chicago. He's really sharp. In fact, his anti-meatball persona and slight pretension turns off some people in the market. (I admit that when he goes foodie, I roll my eyes.) Terry Boers, the former Sun-Times columnist, was long his co-host, but I enjoy the current co-host, Jason Goff, more. He's excellent. (I think he made a detour through Atlanta before coming back to Chicago.) Though the show still has a sense of humor, it's a little more grown up now. They get into sabermetrics but don't hit you over the head with it, as well as football and basketball Xs and Os that are much more interesting to me than meatball talk about, say, "wanting it more."

    In large part, Chicago sports radio is pretty good.

    If I'm listen to a radio or TV sports talk show instead of a podcast, that means my phone isn't charged.

    Yeah, it's way better with Goff.

    Good point. I'm not in my car much, so I almost exclusively listen to stuff as a podcast, usually during my longer, slower morning runs.

    Taylor Zarzour and Greg McElroy are good on the Sirius XM ESPNU channel.

    Best Seat in the House in Charlottesville is outstanding. The host, Jay James could easily be in a much bigger market, but he likes where he is.

    I can take Travis in very very small doses. That's not a show you want to listen to for more than 15 minutes at a time.

    I would rather listen to a goat give birth than listen to Mike and Mike.

    You can take arsenic in very, very small doses. Doesn't mean you should.
