ONE OF THE BEST: Jim Eason.
He isn't my favorite, there's a whole lot in the equation. But if I'm asked a top 5, Jim Eason would be in that list.
I didn't agree with much of his politics, but it didn't matter. He was entertaining and his show on KGO was one of the best talk shows ever. Jim Eason was a must-listen and always made for an informative three hours of talk-show radio.
Eason is very much alive today and a 415 Media reader living up in the high Sierra mountains and having an occasional chat with ours truly.
I make a point of telling Eason his interviews were some of the best I've ever heard. Be it politics, pop culture, space, Russia, Eason was a marvel to listen to. Again, I'm more centrist left and Eason is a libertarian conservative but who cares about politics--Eason's show trumped politics.
Eason was great radio and always enjoyed his show.
ReplyDeleteJim Eason's program on KGO was entertaining radio, but I could never subscribe to his political beliefs.
ReplyDeleteMe neither. But that's the thing, when someone's a talented host, you don't need to buy into what they're selling in order to enjoy the pitch. Gene Burns was the same way. I didn't have to subscribe to his libertarianism, but he was so entertaining it didn't matter.
DeleteHe was so good! Listening to him got me into talk radio.
ReplyDeleteJim Eason was the ONLY talk radio show host my mom, a news media junkie, EVER mentioned in any conversation about local media.
