    I do enjoy the hosts. Greg Brady is my favorite. I really do love when Lisa Raitt is on. Ben is ok but tiresome at times. Hes too often cutting off the callers and like a dog with a bone; just can't let it go. My feeling is he has room for improvement. Maybe talk less and listen more. Brad Smith is doing great and is quite entertaining and sincere. Alex is doing a great job. Keep up the great work team.

    Brad Smith is a fantastic radio host! Sooooo entertaining! Very fair and common sense opinions. So funny too! Love listening to him in the 9:00 am to 12:00 pm time slot. Great find for 640 Talk Radio!
