I've found Rich to be a generally unaffected and sincerely enthusiastic radio host, but was somewhat dismayed that he was unfamiliar with the phrase,'cutting one's teeth'. Even more disturbing was his reporting of Levon Helm's age as 79. (He's ten years younger than that!) He did acknowledge his error, but it took more than a week for someone to point out the inaccuracy.

I could care less that Terfry played baseball and music. He has nothing interesting to say, ditto for Bob M in the morning slot. They may be nice guys but they should not be speaking on the radio. It is so annoying when Terfry says throughout his show \"Thanks SO much for being here. His entire manner of speaking sounds so unnatural, unlike someone like Tom Allen.
2007 (when changes began) to present:
