I went through this same scenario daily... tuning in at 12:06 to see whose voice it would be. Mark Steyn was the only guest host I could really tolerate. He said that Kathryn will be on the show Monday to talk about Rush.
When Ruch signed off on 2/1 - the day before his last show - he said he had had Steyn on standby the whole time and had been taking it hour by hour because throughout the whole show he wasn’t sure he’d be able to continue. But he made it, and he did the full show the next day. And he was as good as he ever was. It’s truly amazing that he could still do the show at all. For most people at that point, getting out of bed isn’t even a possibility.
