Considering that talk radio is one of the most popular formats, discuss the following questions:

2. Should talk-radio hosts be able to say anything they want on the radio? Is it important to air all potential issues over the airwaves, even if those issues might upset some listeners?

3.Are radio talk shows just silly sideshows of extreme views and shocking behavior, or do they appeal to listeners in unique and significant ways?

4. Do all potential topics contribute to democracy? What kinds of things shouldn’t be said or discussed on the radio?
