Entertainment I Adore

Yes­ter­day I men­tioned some of my least-favorite enter­tain­ment, today is the oppo­site-enter­tain­ment I adore.

Radio: Den­nis Prager is the man. He’s smart, rea­son­able, and thinks out loud in an inter­est­ing way. If your local radio does­n’t car­ry him then it’s your loss. Hon­or­able men­tions: Ira Fla­tow and Hugh Hewitt.

Tele­vi­sion: Myth­busters is clear­ly the best show in the his­to­ry of some­thing. I just can’t decide whether it’s the best show in the his­to­ry of the uni­verse or the best show in the his­to­ry of tele­vi­sion. Hon­or­able men­tions: Dog the Boun­ty Hunter, 24.

Books: Steven Brust is one of the great­est authors of our gen­er­a­tion. If you like nov­els about assas­sins with sar­cas­tic lizards, that is. Hon­or­able men­tions: Ter­ry Pratch­ett, C. S. Fried­man

Music: Rich Mullins rocks the free world. Or rocked the free world. Or what­ev­er. He’s dead but his music con­tin­ues to inspire me. Hon­or­able men­tions: U2, Men With­out Hats
