Posted by Dave Dickman As far as moving to a market that carries him lol, I live in the 4th largest TV and radio market in the country, Philadelphia, and he doesn't have a local affiliate here. The local talk radio station carried him here just long enough to get me hooked then dropped him. Damn you Phil....

Thanks for the responses guys, I am probably going to get the backstage pass next month. I too think it's the funniest radio around. I think the negative opinions toward paying for the official site that I was seeing here were a backlash from Phil shutting down the MCS archive. I saw quite a few posts from people that had tried it and cancelled, so I was a bit reluctant to pay for something that sucked. Plus I believe he is offering some special limited time discounted rate if you sign up for like a year at a clip. I guess I'll try a month and then decide on a long term subscription if it's still available and it's as good as I hope it is.
Thanks again guys
