Another look: Kennedy and Suits

When Bryan Suits was brought to KFI from Seattle in January of this year, I tuned in when I could and enjoyed what I heard of the show. A few months later it was announced that Kennedy would be paired with Suits. I admit that prospect did not sit too well with me. I tried to tune in but found her too talky often stepping on Suits. I don’t often get to listen to the radio when they are on, so that was my exposure to the show.

Over the past couple of months though, I have been able to catch the 9pm hour of the show once in a while and I have to say it's growing on me. The segment features newsman Aaron Bender with a discussion the day’s news. It’s pretty fun, moves fast and you get to actually hear some stories that may have passed you by. It reminds of Robin's news on the Stern show in a way.


The show has been on for a little over 5 months now- is it a good addition to the KFI lineup? How about the 7-9 hours? Did KFI make the right decision to pair up Suits with Kennedy?

My only problem with her is that he voice is a little nasal and grating, especially since I recently got a new car with a much better sound system. The shrillness of her tone is even more noticeable to me now.

I think this show is great! I have to admit, I didn't listen to KFI much before a friend turned me on to this show. But I'm listening now.

It's my favorite show on KFI. I was a Ziegler fan and didn't expect to like Suits, but I do, way more than I did Zig. And there aren't many (are there any?) quick, sharp women on the air. So I put up with her voice.

I find the show interesting because it's not obvious conservative talk radio. It's more of a populist, MTV brand of libertarianism.

More often than not, though, I find myself tuning out the show because both Kennedy and Suits frequently run up against knowledge gaps -- but, unfortunately, these gaps do not give them any pause from making extremely uninformed comments as if they were experts on the subject.
