Open Thread: Is Christian Radio 'Insufferable'?

May 14th, 2014 8:22 AM

Erick Erickson at RedState takes up the cause of Russell Moore, who's made some conservative Christian radio hosts hopping mad with the provocative statement "if all that I knew of Christianity was what I heard on Christian talk radio, I’d hate it too."

Erickson agreed that "Christian talk radio, with some great exceptions, is largely insufferable. As both a talk radio show host and a student of the format, I listen to liberal talk, Christian talk, FM guy talk, political talk, NPR — you name it. I listen to it. And I find most Christian talk and pretty much all leftwing or 'progressive' talk to be some of the worst out there." Radio host Janet Mefferd is taking the other side, that much of Christian radio is wonderful, not dreadful. If you've listened, what do you think?
