I'm a huge stern fan. Was very happy he signed on for 5 more years. The Ron Howard Interview this week was hilarious (among other things)

Oh noes!!!! I skipped a welcome!!!

Stern rocks! So glad I found you guys here on the Dis.

Welcome!!

I just watched Howard on the Piers show. He was terrific!! I love the serious Howard. Most people do not get to see that side of him. I think we do as fans of the show, but the rest of the pea brains out there who have a negative view of him sure don't get to see it.

 

[maddhatir]

Do you know what I forgot to mention? The "test".

IMO- I would say that Howard is the looniest of them all!!!! I hate when he gloats. ugh.

Hey guys, quick question.

I've been listening to Howard since around '88, but when he made the switch to satellite I didn't follow. I've been cheating & following along on youtube (he'd kill me if he knew, lol). My question is this - I'm now ready to dive in & get a satellite unit, but which one & which subscription? Is there a unit that I can take into my work place with me & listen AND listen in my car? I've tried to go on their site, but there's so much product & I find it very confusing. I figured I'd just ask some peeps that are already set up .

Thanks for any suggestions!

Don't ask me- I still have my original boombox

During work I just listen online.

 

[Jodi]

Wait...if I subscribe I can listen online? Can I start it whenever I want & all that stuff?

I don't have any of those awesome phones (where's the smilie with the big L on their forehead?).

Jodi, yes you can listen online. Online is extra in addition to the radio. I'm not sure if they have an online only option, but you could check.

Well, I will share the big L with you b/c I have a cheesy phone that, get this, just makes and receives phone calls

I am not sure if they have a plan for online only. You can only listen on one computer at a time. If you try to log in on a 2nd computer, the first one gets kicked out. That means...no sharing

I wasn't a Stern fan, until I watched Piers Morgan (at the suggestion of someone on the Community Board). I'm still not a fan, but I do have a better appreciation of what makes Howard tick.

I honestly can say that that WAS the real Howard. I have been listening for 20+ years- and the guy you hear on the radio- is NOT the real Howard.

I agree with him when he talks about all the celeb scumbags out there who do so many horrible things and people just let them slide, and then you have Howard who cannot even hold a candle to the evil crap these celebs do- but he gets the ^%$# end of the stick every single time.

I don't get it.

I'm going to have to research this. NOT looking to share or the like. I just really should be listening full time like I used to!! I remember sitting in the parking lot @ work waiting for a segment to end & being late. I'm glad that I can stop & replay, etc., with Sirius!

I agree that was the real Howard on Piers...

But I disagree when you say the guy you hear on the radio is not the real Howard. They are one in the same.

The Howard you read about in the papers and tabloids... that's NOT the real Howard, but on his show - it's ALL about honesty. Sometimes the truth hurts.

Mmmmm- some of the things he says I think he says just for the radio. If he was confronted off the radio about some of the things he says, he would back peddle.

FEMALE STERN FANS ROCK !!!!!!!

a female stern fan that is a disney fan is nearly impossible to find too

That's the truth! Or you may find someone who is a huge Howard fan but only likes Disney a little bit. Or you may find a huge Disney fan who maybe barely tolerates Howard because their spouse listens to him. I suppose there are many Disney fans who also won't admit to liking Howard. Likewise, I'm sure there are tons of diehard Howard fans who would never be caught dead at a Disney park or on a Disney message board!

But rarely will you find people - females - who are huge Disney fans and huge Howard fans - and both interests live in harmony in their lives - and they don't have to hide either one!!

We're a rare breed!

Yay for us!

I am proud to say I never hid the fact I am a Stern fan. I would defend him to the end if someone dissed him. And I have had to do that a LOT

Don't mess with us Stern chicks. LOL

I have been loving the show lately. A couple of weeks ago Howard went on a Kathie Lee rant and it was classic. The "Dr." Laura rants are even better. I went on You Tube and heard some of the actual calls she took during her show. I almost felt bad for her.
