The king is dead, long live the king
February 27th, 2009
Adam Carolla, former co-host of Loveline, was removed from the airwaves last Friday when his morning talk show was replaced. I've never been a fan of morning radio that doesn't consist exclusively of songs I can rock out to, but there was something different about his show. It was addictive, amusing, and sometimes even moving. Adam Carolla brought the same interest in the intricacies of the English language, and his propensity to rant--often with great hilarity--on nearly any subject as he displayed during his time at Loveline, and coupled these attributes with a more grown-up sensibility. Gone were segments like the infamous Lightning Rounds (something I personally couldn't stand). Sadly, I only found the Adam Carolla Show several months before its cancellation, but in those several months it became a major part of my rather meager podcast rotation.
Happily, after his cancellation on Friday, he's started his own podcast, which you can find here. It isn't as focused as his radio show was, but that's to be expected: it's only him, his friend, and whatever guests he can talk into coming on the "show." If you were a fan of Loveline, or of the Man Show, or of any of the myriad other productions he was a part of, give it a listen. His brand of humor isn't for everyone, but for those who enjoy what he does, there are very few who are any better.
