3. The "Liberal Agenda" at the end every day is great.

And what about that redneck guy? Who is that?

2. Daily listener here.

I think it's great except for the really annoying regular call in "guest" that screams. Sorry can't think of the name, but I hate that part. Generally, not funny and a little too much for the ears that early in the AM.

5. I can't listen to the whole show, so

I am not sure about who you are talking about. But most of it is great.

6. Just make fun of conservatives and their bullshit.

The lead guy is a riot, and they have fake callers that are beautiful. Plus serious guests that talk about serious stuff and others guests that talk about whatever.

Best show on AAR I think.

7. I don't especially like 'em...

not sure exactly why. They try to hard maybe?

The right wing station here (NYC)... they're all right wing, actually, but I mean the REAL right wing station)... is actually better in the AM drive time. Curtis Sliwa and Ron Kuby.

Kuby is liberal/left, ( only leftist on the station all program day), a lawyer, funny as hell and sharp as a KNIFE. Sliwa is the old Guardian Angels TV camera chaser that the NY Gambino's tried to assassinate about 10 yrs ago. He's a political moron but sort of amiable and interesting to listen to.

I switch back to Air America during news/sports.

10. I've seen Curtis and Kuby on CNBD or where ever,

you should really give the Sedition a few more tries. It is really, really funny.

I LUV AAR and this is my favorite show (and I'm a very modest over-fifty female)

20. My favorite is

the guy reporting from "Planet Bush," Laughton Smalls.

Maron wrote a good book, too. I've been a fan of his standup for years, since he hosted Comedy Central's Short Attention Span theater.

12. Hate it, too many fake laughs

It's on too early in the morning to listen to hyenas laughing at each other's lame one line jokes. I would rather listen to a 70's TV show laugh track, it is less fake.

13. Good show....

It seems genuine, and pretty funny.
Mark appears to be the mentor and Marc is more the student of radio showmanship.
They play well off each other and most of the routines are excellent. I don't agree 100% with all the opinions, especially Marc's, but they appear pretty tolerant of opposing points of view.

15. Love It

It is great, and I like to laugh, better than crying.

Love the "Presidents Palm Pilot"

Great morning fare to get through work, especially since I work with a bunch of right-wing zealots around me. It drives them crazy, as do all the Air America shows.

I just love how it pisses them off!

16. I adore it!

The two Marks have perfect synergy and there is just something about Mark Maron's zany intensity that I love.

They also have some pretty good guests and ask the right questions.

18. Not anymore (used to). Since their "get over it" stance I removed them

from my listening habits. Franken too. If I want jokes at voters' expense, i can watch Faux.

19. To be honest...

...I wasn't big on Morning Sedition when I used to catch bits and pieces of the program on the web. But now that Seattle has an Air America affiliate I get to listen to the nearly the entire program every morning and I've become a big fan. Definately one of the best programs on ARR.

On the other hand I've become less impressed with Randi Rhodes the more opportunity I've had to listen to her program. To be honest, being a hockey fan, on my drive home each day I usually opt to listen to sports radio out of Canada rather than Rhodes.
