No one who wants to hear what the left-of-right has to say listens to talk radio, but everyone who needs to hear it listens to talk radio.
The GOP excels at informing the uninformed and giving false hope to downtrodden.
*MISinforming
Making losers feel special is basically the whole point of MAGA
Is an NPR program like 1A talk radio? I listen to that and many people who are traveling often do. It's not leftist, but it's decidedly anti-fascist simply by reporting the truth and bringing on experts to explain things. Two co-workers of mine have told me that they used to listen to NPR before "it got all political"- meaning they heard things they didn't want to be true. That's a bit of a tangent but these two people wouldn't listen to Rush Limbaugh or whoever took his toilet throne.
I assume since podcasts aren't on the radio they don't count as talk radio right? But discussion podcasts have blown talk radio away and there are so many flavors to choose from.
