9/19.4/02 - "Who's tops in talk. Rush Limbaugh is the greatest radio talk-show host ever, says the trade magazine Talkers. The magazine's September issue rates the top 25 radio talk-show hosts of all time, based on "talent, longevity, success, creativity, originality and impact on both the broadcasting industry and society in general." Larry's tip. More and TV at www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/ent_radio/story/19940p-18902c.html. Rush puts me to sleep, I won't listen to Howard, and more, so please don't judge talk radio per these shows. Find what you like. Also see the list of national talk hosts, above, for links, schedules, etc.
