A pissed off listener is one that isn't gonna turn the dial.

Also, beyond really is old as fuck, all y'all AM radio listening motherfuckers.

beyond is old as fuck, most of you are in your 20-30's, some maybe in their early 40's. Shit that's still young. 80-90's is old as fuck, man the whining on here will be ridiculous in another 10 years.

I'm doing my best to increase the number of angry old man posts.

I didn't really care for the Rob and Roger duo, however I really thought Breakenridge would get the morning slot.. Danielle Smith still talks like she was trying to save the province instead of just jumping at the chance to be in government..

Kenyon should have his own show.

Roy Green and Smith are my favorites.

Brakenridge is cool but his intros are way too long and repetitive. "The callers are like, "FFS Rob, shut up and get to the phones".

Smith?

A cow?, a bitch? No, that's Redford.

In years of listening to Smith's positions, she's a down to earth lady in which her accompaniments are vast,yet ignored and often diminished by the male.

BTW- Fuck you.

The best memory I have of her , is the look on her face when she lost the Pc nomination to Carrie Fischer... No sympathy for her whatsoever...

How do you figure this is totally relevant - never once was I critical of Danielle in this thread that I started because she is a woman. I was critical of the way she performed her job and nothing else - you are more than welcome to prove me wrong.

I don't think it's meant as an insult. I don't believe most people consciously do it. I will personally admit I do often feel more negatively towards female presenters than males, I consciously fight my subjectivity but I think the fact than many see men as more authority figures than women is based in genetic not cultural or personal biases. cultural biases amplify the effect of course but I think it's really important to be able to admit you have these unconscious biases and not try to ignore it. The SJWs would criticize people for it but it doesn't make you a bad person obviously.

I couldn't care less to the gender of the presenter.

In specific regards to Smith, the only thing I find annoying about her, is her habit of often starting a sentence with a high pitched and shrill tone on the first word. However, I don't find it nearly as annoying as Brakenridge's repetitiveness and constant, "I don't knows".

It's really hard for a person to examine the "reasons behind the reasons" for thier own thinking. However I don't think it's controversial to say that it's commonly for people to have stronger criticism of females in media, politics or industry than a male of similar skills.

I know speedo is a good guy, and I'm not accusing an individual of sexism in this situation, however it's hard to think that every beyond.ca member is immune to social effects that are studied and widely common.

That is an actual photo. Guy is in great shape for someone of his advanced age . . . .

I think you believe that on the surface. But you follow up "I could care less the gender" with hating an attribute specific to females ie higher pitched voice that sounds "shrill" to you.

People have way more biases than they think. It's not wrong, it's natural but pretending you're completely objective is a bit of self deception

+1. It's incredibly difficult to identify your own bias. However every single human has dozens of deep rooted biases. That's how we are wired.

Biases actually serve an important evolutionary purpose. They keep us safe and help us protect the groups we are part of against other groups.
