I think he is intelligent and interesting. Frosty is okay for the short time I am able to hear him. The best in the noon time slot is Ethan Bearman on KSCO / Komy. Interesting, good with callers and if you live in Santa Cruz, he does local stuff, too. He would be good anywhere, actually. He really is "fair and balanced".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-15173349562436421032013-10-30T09:44:33.032-07:002013-10-30T09:44:33.032-07:00The girls are grown up I believe and Ronn has a co...The girls are grown up I believe and Ronn has a contract.

Too many subjects now, too much of one person talking, so I tune in only very sporadically. When I do, though, nothing has changed with the format, so I mostly keep tuned out.

Won't listen.<br />And Gil Gross has gotten worse and worse with his overly dramatic pauses, lame attempts at humour, constantly repeating words in each sentence, and trying to one-up call in guests. It's a shame since he has a wealth of knowledge to share. One good thing - no more Rhoda on Fridays I guess. <br />Interestingly I caught his real estate broadcast purely by accident, and it was like listening to a completely different person - actually enjoyable.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-19184615431469606452013-10-29T11:01:57.655-07:002013-10-29T11:01:57.655-07:00Hey Rich what's the status of your 2-4 show on...Hey Rich what's the status of your 2-4 show on KSCO?
