I'm 30, so I think I may be one of his young listeners, but I have listened to the show since 97, what set this show a part from the rest was the ball busting among staff, the fact that Howard could make something really minor into a huge ordeal, he would have would have people like Hank on and make them really interesting. Now the show is just interviews, all of the past stuff is gone along with staff. I never missed a show since ’06, but the past few years, I have not listened as often. I wonder why what set the show apart from the rest is what went away. I don't like the fact that he edits his past shows, I mean much of it is online, and his long time listeners notice, so its not like he's fooling anyone.
I remember being excited when we would go on vacation because the condo we rented got E! When our cable company added E! in 1999… I did not miss a show.
I have to say Howard got me through some hard times in my life, I would turn him on and knew I would laugh. I have yet to find anyone as good as him to listen to. Oh well he's done this for over 30 years, he kinda deserves to coast a bit,but I wish every so often we would have classic Howard.
