Tim and Sid: Not Cut Anymore, on Fan 590

Tim is smiling like he just ate the last cookie

After a brief feeling out period, it certainly seems as if Tim and Sid have hit their stride on the Fan 590. They have gotten away from athlete interviews with guys who have nothing interesting to say (so...hockey players), and have established a good rotation of guests who "get" what they are doing, and understand that the show isn't just about spouting off stats and 'analysis' that any dummy with an internet connection could provide. In the way that Tony Kornheiser always likes to refer to his show as not a sports program, but an adult talk radio program (but with an obviously strong emphasis on sports nonetheless), Tim and Sid have managed to create sort of a "young adult" talk radio program, with a heavy emphasis on sports. The music, movies, weather, politics talk, it all contributes to the vibe of the show, and I think to the connection it creates with the listeners. Rapid Fire has also improved a ton since the first few weeks. I wonder if they ever caught flack for the rapid fire sound effects from people who might think it glorifies guns.

It seems Tim and Sid have made a successful transition from podcast to radio. Which really, they ought to have anyway. I mean you’re still just yak, yak, yaking, fuck.
