Howie Carr elected to Radio Hall of Fame

[Dan.Strassberg]

Brudnoy was HIGHLY overrated! Pomposity and absolutely
indecipherable100-word sentences do not make good radio or good
anything. That he was widely respected says absolutely nothing good
about the listeners. Rea may not be perfect but he is a great
improvement over Brudnoy.
