Best Radio Talk Show (AM)

ConfessionsWho doesn't want to eavesdrop on or, better yet, weigh in on, a total stranger's dysfunctional relationship? That's the premise of Confessions, KCOH's mid-afternoon talk show hosted by the unflappable Wash Allen. At the beginning of the show, a "soothsayer" phones in to say he's cheating with his wife's sister, or that her husband doesn't know it but their kid is not his. What should these people do? The callers always have plenty to say, and Allen stays mainly on the sidelines, noting only that he's "got yours" when one of the callers has finished with his or her advice. Beats the hell out of listening to the right-wingers bitch about Kerry's war record and Clinton, that's for sure.
