Anyone heard Rob Carson?

[the OlLine Rebel]

Just noticed this category so thought I’d post the question.

Eventually our local replacement for the Rush hours became Rob Carson.  I still don’t get it as I can’t find much mention of him.  It almost seems our local station is hosting him and hoping he becomes national.  However, I can’t say he’s strictly local because he always mentions how he resides in Kansas (at some point from around here in Baltimore).

Anyway, wondering if anyone heard of him and your view.

He plays up writing for Rush, and has parodies on his show from some other guy, that he always disrupts with little comments and laughing (annoying).  I can hardly find much info on his background, and wonder how much is bogus.

The other thing that bugs me is he seems to be another radio EverTrumper.  Hes been on for maybe 2 years now.

   Though I usually have a Radio on most the day It's tuned to a Local Americana Radio Station.  Talk Radio lost me a long time ago.  When Rush started singing the Trump Song,  I turned off talk radio for good.

   Back on Topic, NO, I've never heard of Ron Carson, I'll look him up.

Sorry, I got busy.

I could not look him up.  Seems that he really is just starting out.  But he DOES now have an hour or so on NEWSMAX TV.

I hear you about talk radio.  Carson seems to be trying to become national, but I don’t think it’ll happen.  Of course Trump is a constant news item, and the EverTrumper hosts gladly bang that drum constantly.

I find most of the hosts are EverTrumper, including the much-derided by same Sean Hannity.  But Hannity isn’t so obnoxious about it.  Defends Trump at every turn but does not trash other candidates, so he plays it pretty safe.  Only some locals now seem like they are not all Trump.

Try this guy instead!



He's the closet thing to Rush on the radio available today! @corbe

I should have stated, Rob Carson actually has a spot on Newsmax TV.  Saturdays at 8.

On our local radio station, Rush's replacements are Clay Travis and Buck Sexton.

Yes, that was the general plan.  Ours had that at first, then put in Carson.

It seems to me our station is hoping they can make Carson into a national figure (he remotely broadcasts, and ACTS as if he's national, welcoming callers with their full address "Maryland" as if we didn't know, as if any other state would call in).

I don't think he's going to make it.  He is an EverTrumper, but beyond that, he can't stop talking/laughing over the parody songs he features.  Very annoying.  Never mind always telling us how he "wrote" jokes for Rush (I'm sure he had maybe one line put in or something, since you can't find much about him).  Just a sample of how it is.

Rush was a messaging/media God, who despite what liberals, truly had talent, and did make you want to keep listening. I wish I could say the same for the legions of clones/wannabes you hear screaming into the AM dial every day. Rush went off the rails after the Romney loss and continued after he encorsed Trump. I was done with him after that.

I think Sean Hannity is as obnoxious as they come.  Switched him off years ago.

Same here! I have also turned off Buck Sexton and Clay Travis for the same reason.

[mountaineer]

I rarely listen to Clay & Buck; never Hannity. The only radio guy other than Rush that I could tolerate was Jim Quinn, who's now subscription-only.

You really should try Michael Berry out.

YES, loves the sound of his own voice too much.

Yeah... Me too, though it was McCain that blew me up... And crazy Palin worship, to which I guess I was mostly immune, being used to crazy mountain redneck chicks anyway, and thus go forewarned. 

[roamer_1]

None of it now... I listen to HANK-FM Country and only have to put up with news at the top of the hour.

   Hannity was a trailblazer because I disliked him FIRST.  Eventually, all of Conservative Talk Radio became a disgrace following the advent and eventual Endorsement of DJT (like most everything else).

[DCPatriot]

Carson is on 680AM in Baltimore, MD noon to 3PM.

His bumper theme music is HEAVY by Collective Soul.

If DJT frosts you so much that you can't listen to anybody, then you should just give up.

   I started on RUSH, of course, the Apple shit was turning me off before he Endorsed Trump.  Then switched to Beck and Levin: they eventually disappointed me, also. 
  Talk Radio reminds me of My Breakup of my last significant other, so I may be BIAS.
  I listen to Music now, on the radio.

@corbe I beg you to take a few minutes and LISTEN to this!

I listen to the radio only while driving. Podcasts and various streaming services do not appeal to me.

It's rage porn IMO, does little more than raising your blood pressure and you already agree with the person. I consider more useful for perhaps gaining converts who might be in the center a little. Maybe.

I too.  I want something easy, in the car and easy to pop on at home.

I appreciate the suggestions, but I’ll probably wait for him to make it to full broadcast.  Even if it’s local.
