Fred Thompson should be an interesting talk radio host having served in the United States Senate and as an actor in television shows and movies. I look forward to listening to him.

Fred Thompson lands radio show
Will replace 'Radio Factor' beginning March 2

Actor and former presidential candidate Fred Thompson is getting his own radio show.
Westwood One said Monday that "The Fred Thompson Show" will debut March 2, replacing "The Radio Factor With Bill O'Reilly," which ends its six-year run Feb. 27. O'Reilly announced his decision to step down from the show this month, saying the workload for his radio and TV duties had become too much.
In his show, Thompson will share his views on politics, topical issues and pop culture stories as well as conduct guest interviews and take listener calls. The two-hour show, broadcast from the Westwood One studios in Washington, will air live from noon-2 p.m. weekdays.
Thompson, also a former U.S. senator, most recently co-starred in NBC's "Law & Order" and HBO's "Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee" before taking time off from acting to run for the Republican nomination for president last year.

More boring political radio.. a dime a dozen. You would think radio stations would stop and say 'hey, there are 1000's of political talk shows, lets do something new/diff'
THAT is why Art was #1.. Just sucks no one else--that is good--is that risky.

Re: Fred Thompson to Replace O'Reilly "Radio Factor&quo
I agree, racehorse. I think I will very much enjoy listening to Fred Thompson. I just wish he was replacing Dr. Laura Schlessinger (I can't spell it and I don't care!) She and her sad sack callers give me the heebie jeebies and it seems like she is on all day! Problem is, we have only one AM station here in Podunksville. At least we do get Coast on it.racehorse wrote: Fred Thompson should be an interesting talk radio host having served in the United States Senate and as an actor in television shows and movies.

I agree I don't think they could have picked a worse person, he will definitely put people to sleep.
With all these negative political radio talk show I wish they would put on some comedy for a couple of hours to break the depressive state of mind for a while.
