The Preston and Steve show is a local radio show here in Philadelphia . They were once the pinnacle of my morning drive, but there has been a decline in interest over the past 5 or so years. And by decline, I mean they totally dropped off of my radar. But I recently decided to give them another chance…
To start off, the show seemed bland and…the opposite of unique. There was a time when the show they presented was always funny. Ah, the Y100 days. (For those not familiar with Philly nostalgia, Y100.3FM was one of the more popular stations which played alternative music; which was sold off to play hip-hop.) The former home of the P&S show was a lot more…well, unique. The show in general just seemed more fun. Now with the transition to 93.3WMMR, it is just a regular old morning show.
They added more people. Horrible idea. This is the reason I stopped watching Lost. Too many opinions. It gets really, REALLY old when 5 people have a story related to the obscure topic of the day. How do so many people associate with the action of shitting your pants? UGH
They do the traffic/weather/stationID every 10 minutes. Too much. UGH.
And now they play a lot more music than they used to. Yeah, I like music, but not while I’m listening to a morning show. More music = less show. UGH
They STILL can not conduct an interview with a celebrity. This has been my biggest gripe with them. I feel like it’s the Chris Farley show from SNL. Recently, they interviewed Matisyahu, a unique hip-hop artist with a Hassidic Jewish background. At one point in the interview “Casey-boy” came in and said something along the lines of “whenever your most popular song ever comes on when I’m working out, I get pumped!” Really? Wow, the audience can really relate to that one. Are trying to make this guy interesting to the million people listening, or just give him a comment he can’t respond to? UGH
I could go on, but I have to go back to Sirius satellite radio. Totally worth the $0.40 per day to avoid all of the garbage on commercial radio.
