KFI AM 640. You're listening to the John Cobel podcast on the IHeart Radio app.

Sitting in for John Cobalt here on the mighty KFI AM 640.

We are live everywhere on the IHeart Radio app.

We're just curious, did a little quick research during the break.

You know the KFI has been broadcasting in Southern California since 1920.

Now owned by IHeartMedia.

I've always been a talk radio.

And we use the term radio because that's still what we think of.

Talk radio encompasses the app, encompasses streaming.

I mean, I guess you could call it audio now, but calling it talk audio doesn't sound quite the same, right?

So been a huge fan of talk radio.

I'm from the Boston area originally.

And ever since I was a kid, I had that AM radio with me or the transistor radio or the clock radio by the bedside.

And a lot of time, a lot listened to WBZ, which is a huge talk radio station in New England,

could get the New York stations, listen to a lot of sports talk.

It's just a great way to stay up on information.

It's also, if you have a talk show host that you like, listen to their opinion.

I mean, what is more entertaining slash informative slash wild than listening to Bill Handel every morning? I mean,

I don't know Bill Handel. I met him here briefly. We all feel like we know people that are on the

radio or people that are on TV because, you know, they're in our house, they're in our bedroom,

they're in our living room, they're on our phones, they're on our computers.
