Score another one for talk radio fans: Inga Barks is a rising star whom we (hopefully) will be enjoying for years to come. She's smart, pretty, and fun to listen to on the air.
And anyone who can step into Mark Levin's show and pull it off with poise and grace is a great talent for sure. To mix the serious with fun is the hardest of entertainment, but the ones who do it daily (Rush, Beck, [sometimes] Colmes, Shearer, [old] Hendrie, Imus, etc), are the best of the best, yet they will never garner the praise they deserve simply because their medium is one that appeals to the minority of our nation: the thinking, imagining, among us Americans. Radio is theater of the mind. It has to exist in competition against television, mainly. The actors we see every night on tv only have to get ramped up to perform maybe two dozen times in a year.
Radio announcers have to get mentally ready to perform every day.
