schedule has been messed up, I try to hear some of the podcasts later....
Been listening to him for 20+? years, even at work when I could. I listen to most of the other programs.

He's one of the most empathetic radio news talkers out there...

He's had for decades for instance now a whiole array of Black Academia -both men & women professors on his show - and not just in Feb. Sometimes other activists as well. Seriously covering BLM since it rose up.

You've never heard while trying to maintain the PR tone heard just a bit of disgust peek through while talking to anti-black, sexist, or anti-Semitic callers?!

One area he was lacking in 15 maybe 10 years ago was
understanding of people living with mental illness.
Then I noticed changes around ?4-5 yrs ago. Waaay more
nuanced, and deeper understanding.

It's true it took him till ? mid 2018, or later to call drumph a liar. Once he did, though, and when drumph was lying from then on Brian never looked back

Maybe there's areas I don't know but ... of what I do know
I definitely dispute your observations.
