The Gist

Listener Survey Responses

As always, here are some of the listener survey comments I read on the show (yesterday), edited for space.

Michael, I just started listening several months ago, and I must say you have become my favorite radio personality. I love the way you analyze the issues and with humor. The sounds effects are so funny that I find myself laughing out loud in the car. Keep giving it to the lying, evil, scheming right wing. I love being a part of the fabulous left.

I REALLY dislike the "morning zoo" type sound effects. But I do listen when there is something in particular happening that Mr Signorile might be addressing. Please don't get me wrong, I'm not a "stick in the mud" but the sound effects are just plain juvenile and bring the discussion down.

I truly enjoy your show. Love the variety of topics and the way you work through each of them. Your knowledge of the political landscape and current affairs is outstanding. Appreciate your 'outing' beliefs as well as that the most damaging people to the lives of all gay people are not just the right-wing biggots but the closeted, fear-filled gay men who do the oppressors dirty work. I honestly think there's a fucked up queen behind every fascist asshole in this country. Keep up the good work.

I like that Mike's show covers all the news and topics that other shows do. It's not limited to LGBT issues. I also don't agree 100% but it's a very thought-provoking show, and fun at the same time.

Your show gives me the ammunition I need to more intelligently discuss the issues, and I never doubt that what you say is credible. I have learned a tremendous amount about politics listening to your show over the past year, and I am so grateful for that. P.S. I hate to be critical at all, but is there ANY way to better screen callers to the show? It is at times really frustrating to have to listen to you talk to people who call in with utter nonsense (i.e. Obama and Clinton should get married). These people waste precious air time when people with relevant opinions and discussion points could be on-air with you instead. :)

I adore you Michael Angelo! I stumbled upon your show one day and have been hooked ever since. Although I'm heterosexual, I really enjoy hearing things from other perspectives and hearing the absolute IGNORANCE in others. I think you do an absolute service to those who turn into your show and I wish all people could turn their lives into the fun fabulous world that you express.

love the show, enjoy that you give everybody the finger, no one is safe

Mike, I love you show. Stay controversial. Don't apologize for being confrontational. Please try and curb saying "right" all the time (minor critique). Also, the scripted top of the hour intro is pretty stale and old school (...our fun fabulous, etc.) you are at your best when you are spontaneous, having fun or real pissed off!

I listen to you almost daily and find myself getting all riled up the same as I do when I make the mistake of listening to Rush Limbaugh. You are every bit as pompous, egotistical and hate-filled toward Republicans as he is toward Democrats. You should bill yourself as the Rush Limbaugh of the Gay Liberal Right. Keep up the good work ... you actually raise my blood pressure more than he does.
