New guys? I'll give a listen. I don't know either of them.

Which Neal Bortz could have taken that time spot, but Neal is retired.


Boortz was a great talk show host. I am from Atlanta and I knew Neal when in the old days when he was on am 640. Neal retired about 8 years ago. At that time he was on 320 stations across the country. His replacement Herman Cain, was the occasional fill in for Neal when he went on vacation. Herman was good in that role.
However, Herman Cain got in over his head as the full time replacement. After a year, he was down to a hundred stations. In 18 months, he was down to 5 syndicated stations. Then he was down to just one hour a day, 11 am until noon. And then, just 20 months after Neal retired, Herman Cain was gone, his talk show career in ruins.

A good lesson for those who might try to replace Limbaugh.
