I can’t say anything bad about this show. It reminds me of the kind of FM morning show co-hosted by two dudes that has proliferated since Howard Stern broke the new ground upon which they stand. Dave Stern (no relation to the aforementioned) and Rick Kaempfer are about as edgy as any guy who uses the word “penis” on FM radio. In other words, this is clean, relatively wholesome entertainment, the type you hear on terrestrial radio in between commercials for large box furniture stores and car dealerships.
I’m wondering if they’re pandering to some radio station they hope will hear this show and hire them as a duo for their morning drive show. They deserve it. They read offbeat news stories and get laughs largely by reporting to us what was reported to them. The world has gone crazy, and that brings comfort to people who have their act together out there in the suburbs and take great pride in that.
Now, again, I’m not putting them down. They both have strong broadcasting voices and can keep a dialogue going effectively with energy and colour.
It’s just that compared to some of the edgier podcasts out there in what is commonly known as the wild west of communications, this show come across as tame.
But then, if tame is your thing, you should listen to this show. The best part: because it’s a podcast you can listen to it on your schedule. It doesn’t take a lot of risks, but it’s a show you could listen to with your grandfather without worrying about him getting offended by coarse language and unconventional ideas.
