| I love ya Howie! I have been listening to the Red Sox on WRKO since my High School days up in Waterville, Maine, which was way before you ever got on the air in 1994. I look forward to my drive home each day from work which is right around the time the Chump Line comes on. Keep up the great work! JP | ||||||

| Howie is great entertainment. He knows where the dead bodies are in Boston. I have never heard anyone with knowledge of Boston politics and history. He is sac religious at times, but it is not done in spite. He has a great sense of humor. He directs the show well and his show touches on many great topics. | ||||||

| Howie is a well informed journalist, more than just an average talker. He has in depth knowledge of local issues and politics and very good knowledge on national issues. | ||||||

| 'Not to mention that Howie is from Portland, Maine!!!! Of course he deserves 10's... if you don't want us to give tens then don't include them in your scale! Okay, I gave him a few 9s. But seriously, it's not an absolute scale... it's relative... and relative to the others, he's a 10... Conclusion, Bo Derek wasn' a 10, but Howie is!!!!! | ||||||

| He seems to be a bright, worldly regular guy. I think he had a good prep school education by default of his hometown, but seems like a working-class guy. He always seems to be prepared about his topics of the day. His show is ALMOST ALWAYS entertaining, if nothing else. He also mixes world, national, and local topics very well. He could be syndicated nationally and probably do well. | ||||||

| Howie is usually on topic, on time , funny and factual. While the left is extremist, Howie isn't afraid to call the right on the carpet either. | ||||||

| There are periods when Howie takes too many silly choir callers. They also often sound rushed, like Howie is trying to get them off the phone. And why do most of the callers sound like they're shouting? Do most people shout over the phone in Mass? JK LOL. I usually like the news and subject matter covered, and the show's style is entertaining overall. | ||||||

| Howie is destined for Nation Wide syndication. Keeps the fires going on hot button issues! Love the Fat Boy bits and Poodle bits.(Kennedy and Kerry). Love Max. He keeps us informed of TV issues. Love the way he lampoons Mayor Menino. He is not politicly correct and I this its about time! | ||||||

| A little parochial re Boston topics, but great entertainment. | ||||||

| Show is in a rut, and needs more variety. Hearing the pathetic mayor mumble was interesting the first few days, but after a while it feels personal. Stick to the issues, not the person. | ||||||
| 2005-11-07 15:09:54 | 7 | 9 | 8 | 5 | 8 | 8 |
| Tends to focus more on Boston area politics than National. He does have an intersting perspective on Mob activities in the Boston area. | ||||||
