Is something up with AAR's Morning Sedition?
On Morning Sedition Marc Maronm was making allusions to his uncertain future and at one point was saying "I may not be able to afford (something) anymore."

Is something cooking there? Just wondering if anything has been said or if something is up regarding the future of the show. I don't get to listen everyday, so maybe it's just an inside joke. Anyone know?

1. Morning Sedition is GREAT!
Please don't tell me they're getting rid of it. :-(

2. I don't get Morning Sedition (sniff)
I certainly like Thom Hartmann, but I do miss M.S. a lot.

Since it's been a few months since I heard the show I could be completely off base about this, but didn't Marc make a few references about how that he and his wife were having problems? (Or maybe not--I only heard maybe three "jokes" like that over the course of a year, and when I'm driving I'm not always listening that closely.) Could he be getting divorced?

As sad as that would be, I'd hate for everyone else who's lucky enough to currently get the show to lose it.

:-( either way. I hope he's just messing around and that there's nothing to it.

7. I heard Marc say his wife bought a book entitled
"getting the love you need from a narcissist" or something like that!

5. Oh, Rats.
Morning Sedition is my favorite show on AAR, and Marc Maron is my favorite host.

That show is funny and really moves along.

8. I hope Morning Sedition avoids the shake
One of their funnier and entertaining shows. I hope they're not going in a boring Springerlike direction.

11. Do you know any more than that, BenB?
I actually listen (through the last 90 minutes of sleep before I get up) to MS starting at 4am my time.... I'd be crushed if it ends...

10. Here's a thread from Air America Place about this
http://www.airamericaplace.com/boards/index.php?showtopic=12430


-----

One of the posts:

I called the corporate offices, talked to someone that I got forwarded to asking for the CEO (don't want to get anyone in trouble mentioning specific names), but he/she said to:

Send e-mail to:

Danny Goldberg, CEO
dannyg@airamericaradio.com

He's the guy that's making the decision.

14. HERE: WE NEED TO WRITE DANNY GOLDBERG!
http://www.airamericaplace.com/boards/index.php?showtopic=12430
the blog is discussing probable cancellation and encouraging people to email/snailmail Danny Goldberg:
Send e-mail to:

Danny Goldberg, CEO
dannyg@airamericaradio.com


Now, we all know that rumours can sometimes run wild and there appear to be some questioning whether MS is really in trouble, but it can't hurt to express your support, right?

I wish they'd ditch Springer, myself. Nice guy, but I just CAN't stand to listen to him make excuses for all the insane freepers who call or for the Grand Fraud, himself.

18. I hope so...
I listen every morning, and all I hear are skits, same old lame jokes, and little political talk. I can find 5 other morning shows that are just as funny.

I know many of you disagree, but I want to hear political talk from the only left leaning political talk station. We are in the midst of everything going wrong for Bush, and 75% of the time MS is recycling some lame jokes from some lame old skit.

It's getting to the point where I'd rather listen to sports talk than anything AAR puts on in the morning.

19. Morning Sedition is both entertaining and smart
I like the fact that they don't only talk politics.

But it's also very smart and astute politically.

20. Hooray - I'm not alone
If there is a political guest on, I can listen. Otherwise, off it goes.

As for Marc Maron being funny, well, he isn't.
