Media Talk
From Wisconsin Public Radio, Dave Berkman is a retired mass communications professor and former hardnosed NYC reporter, a little bigger than a smurf and more insightful than a magic 8-ball. His show airs on Fridays from 5-6 Central (6-7 Eastern) and archives can be found here. While completely open about his own political leanings, is surprisingly fair and a great devil's advocate, and draws responses from all ends of the political spectrum.
