That's something that seems so underappreciated, or even unknown, about him.

He's so thoughtful. Even when a caller may challenge half his brain (since the other is tied behind his back), he never cops out. He'll work it through, on air, to the point where listeners can hear the gears turning. He is truly great at connecting with people

Do you mind providing don't examples of him being challenged so? I've only seen a few clips of him so I don't know anything about him really

It's more anecdotal from what I've heard over the years, really.

I don't even mean challenging his positions so much as making a point he hadn't considered. He never just dismisses it. Or at least he doesn't until he thinks it through, and generally he'll do it live.

Basically, the man has actual conversations with people who call in, which is sadly quite rare in talk radio. He wants to understand their point, digest it, then comment on it.

I think Limbaugh, Prager, and Noory are the only hosts who really strive to do that

Snoory? That guy's a far cry from the OG Art Bell.
