You think British radio comedy is bad? Have you heard any of the online comedy stations? Posted Thu Jun 8 15:56:58 BST 2000 by Limpit

I have been listening to quite a few online radio stations mostly from America. There is one called Kook radio which is all day comedy supposedly. Lots of funny voices and a news/docu format. Can't say it made me laugh but I guess the web potentials are endless.

Also the funniest thing to listen to on the web are American talk radio broadcasts. I listened to Mike Reagan (Ronald's son) and found it the funniest thing I've listened too in ages. He debates by condescending all his callers with Christian and mysoginistic undertones. One debate was on a church which was under attack for putting up a sign saying 'It's Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve' and Mike was all for it questioning if they didn't draw the line somewhere they would soon be allowing transsexuals and beastiality into the church. He also countered a woman caller's pro-abortionist views by saying 'But what if you had been pregnant with me?' Oh I laughed. She was comparing abortion systems in France and America and he interrupted with the argument 'Oh but the French stink! They have good food but miserable waiters.' This from the son of a president.

It is worth listening alone for his radio slogan: 'You're listening to Mike Reagan . See you on the web, don't use those guns!'

I really enjoy that I say nothing of any interest or importance. It makes me feel 'special'.

No, it was very interesting indeed. I just didn't really have a way of responding other than by saying "that was very interesting indeed". Don't know much about American radio, although heard Howard Stern when I was in New York and he was quite entertaining. Otherwise...

Can you recommend the websites? What are they?
