For this stormy a bit - but still on the cool side - Summer 2023 - week of July 2023 - we shall continue for a while with the radio talk show hosts whose "gab" or mannerisms of speech - pays their bills - in other words - they talk for a living. The styles of the talk show hosts' - change - since the general trends also - undergo changes.
Mike Gallagher - is one of the top radio talkers with a huge, national following of listeners - who has been maintaining his top place among the talkers - for quite a few years. The radio talk business is a difficult and trendy one.
Mike Gallagher observed last week that - lately - certain popular phrases used by some of his talkers/colleagues whose names he would not mention - get on his nerves. The top ones he listed are as follows:
1. "At the end of the day" - Mike Gallagher maintains that this phrase is stupid and meaningless - since "at the end of the day - will always be the night".
2. The second phrase which works Mr. Gallagher nerves is - "Oh - B.T.W. - and another thing worth mentioning is" - according to Mike Gallager that phase means zero - "Just talk about it without any stupid introductions that are time consuming - while the listeners know that you are just extending you airtime without saying anything worth listening to".
Speaking of "extending the airtime" - the local, popular talk radio station which name we shall not disclose - just fired a talk radio host - who had a habit of "going on and on and on and on again" on the subject which he should have treated - in a quarter of the on air - time - allotted to him. His voice sounded OK - though - as opposed to some other talk radio hosts whose respective voices sound as pleasant - to many listeners as the proverbial "nails down the chalkboard".
In any event - everybody will have a good, new week. We shall meet here a week from today when we shall continue with the various types of talk radio hosts.
