I love this show but you're killing me with the way you break up a three hour show into 5 different podcasts. takes way to much effort to listen. all I want is one podcast for one show.
this is yesterdays show you reposted
Something is wrong with Bill Handel, he is so woke he isn't funny anymore. I used to love how he would dance up to the line on all types of topics especially related to his wife and his callers, now he is just doing social politically correct cheer leading. So Boring...
Handel on the law, great show. Handel on the news, terrible. Cohosts, boring. Music between EVERY story, annoying as hell. More Handel, less everything else.
