JoBo on Jim Rome today

A guy I used to work with insisted on listening to Jim Rome. I just don’t get the appeal of him. Who told him that 4-5 seconds of total silence works well on radio? If you like dead air and repetition, Jim Rome is your guy.

Rome did not choose well. There was a point in his career where he had the choice between TV and radio and chose to stay on radio. I very rarely run across his program although I am sure he has his followers.

Yeah he probably could have made more money had he chosen a different path, but I doubt he is worrying about whether he has enough for retirement. In his prime/heyday, it was rather entertaining radio. With proliferation of podcasts to suit fans' needs, his schtick became less appealing.
