   If it is working for you, I guess.  Otherwise, how so?   
      
   The show has to be entertaining and the show has to build a community of   
   support.  I've found Lampher damned annoying and cold for years on public   
   radio.  My nickname for her was the "Iron Lampher" and I would never have   
   _wanted_ to call into her show the way she acted toward listeners. I did a   
   little Jules Feiffer Rites of Spring dance when I learned that she   
   resigned.  And had to take it back the same day when the evening news said   
   she would cohost Franken.   
      
   And Franken has got to expend more calories over the course of the three   
   hours.  A radio show isn't a college panel discussion.  No, they are   
   _really_ lucky that, despite what the conservatives say, there aren't any   
   other liberal shows on, because if they had serious competition to fill   
   the need.....   
      
   Doesn't mean I won't continue listening.  But I don't think longevity is   
   assured unless they are quick studies.
