Larry King is lamenting the current
state of talk radio, a format that dominated the earlier years of his
broadcasting career.
According to Politico, King told
podcast host Marc Maron that he was “the beginning of talk radio”
thanks to his national show on the Mutual Broadcasting System
beginning in 1978, but added that he’s not a fan of what it’s
become.
“It became a soap box,” said King.
“Screaming, yelling idiots. A lot of what I hear is pop nonsense,
political crazies.”
King said “the Limbaughs and those guys are
just playing with a loose deck. And a lot of it is an act.”
Although King says it drives him “nuts”
when someone curses on the air, he has come to appreciate Howard
Stern.
“Earlier, I didn’t buy a lot of
that act, but now I understand he’s matured,” King said. “He’s
a very good broadcaster.”
