After Neil Rogers talk show went off the air six months or so ago after 33 years of being on the Miami airwaves I had been looking for a similar show or shows.

Neil former producer Jorge Rodriquez had created an interesting internet only show however it does not completely meet my taste.

So how about giving me some pointers to non right wing talks shows around the world, in English, that I can hear over the internet?

@BillRM,
I can't say I know who Neil Rogers so these suggestions are a shot in the dark:
On Point Radio with Tom Ashbrook, http://www.onpointradio.org/;
The Brian Lehrer Show, http://www.wnyc.org/shows/bl/;
The Leonard Lopate Show, http://www.wnyc.org/shows/lopate/;
Bob Edwards Weekend, http://www.bobedwardsradio.com/bob-edwards-weekend/;
Talk of the Nation with Neil Conan, http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=5

@tsarstepan,
Thank you for the suggestions and for your and others understanding Neil was/is an overweight, openly Jewish homosexual and atheist liberal.

He was in fact one of the very early supporter of Obama long before most of us knew who Obama happen to be.

For the last decade or so, he claimed to hate the South Florida area and move to Canada where he used the internet to keep producing his show to the same area he claimed to hate from his Canadian apartment.

Let see with all that he always had one of the highest rating radio shows in the market place and was commanding a salary in his last contract of over 800 thousands dollars a year down from a contract of 1.6 millions a year. He was known to cry tears on the air over this salary cut.

He did not do interviews and it was mainly a one-man show with some help from his producer/side-kick.

All in all you would need to hear the man to have an understanding of him and his show.

See the link below.

. yeh but was he entertaining? Even Limbaugh whose also a fat homo, albeit a religious libertarian, is at least food for his audience. At his last contract ,I believe hes making 44 million a year.

yes he was indeed entertaining..............

And please do not refer to Neil God or My Queen as he was known to his followers in the same breathe as Rush.

As one of the priests that was the spoke person for the local Catholic church once said I am sure that Jesus even love Neil Rogers in a tone that let some question of that opinion being an honest statement.

@BillRM,
What about Harry Shearer's Le Show. He's quite good with the satire...

@BillRM,
He's quite funny. His show's been on the air fore more than 25 years. I'd be interested in knowing what you think once you've listened to him...

@djjd62,
For a while, I listened to him a lot. Then I dropped off around the time he had a show with music featuring his wife. I found the dynamic between them to be creepy and decided I didn't need a window into their relationship. While his satire is strong, he's embraced the silly Hollywood image.
