I have no great insight about this (for now). Curious if anyone else listens to Stern.

I think it was the leaked 'TED talk' that broke me, but it was breaking down for quite a while. And I was an avid listener for decades. [and it's not political because I dropped Carolla around the same time].

Maybe everyone gets old, but Stern turned into a pansy-fied version of Imus somwhere along the way. Everything is about sucking up to celebs and coo-coo-ing with his trophy wife and her cat hospital.

In in response, the 'crew' has been gasping and struggling to hide the 'strings' of how they formulate their content for a while, contrived arguments, fake calls, etc.

Whch is fine, except it's the opposite of what made him an icon. Like if Tarantino started making Hallmark TV movies.
