Dale and Holley were great, Michael Holley was easily one of my favorite sports guys. He knew what he was talking about and he kept the non-sports talk to a minimum without making the conversations ever feel forced.

It wasn't long after those two left that the morning shows became about hot takes and stopped having sports be the main focus, the amount I've listened to sports radio has done nothing but decline since Holley stopped being a part of Boston radio, now I don't listen to any at all.

Reply to When to switch out winter tires? by Sadglasses

I’m kinda pissed I put them on at all this year. Lack of snow aside, it hasn’t even been cold enough to matter. I’ve needed them exactly once, to get up my sister’s driveway in Vermont.

Reply to Career Counselor Recommendations? by _concertfiend_

If he’s looking in a specific industry, reach out to recruiters for that industry. They can often point you in a direction you wouldn’t have thought of once they learn your experience. But considering he’s advanced, the only people who will be able to give him advice are people in the positions he’s thinking about moving to, so it seems some old-fashioned LinkedIn networking is the way to go.

Thanks for the suggestion for how to consider moving forward. But it’s a little more complicated than just an easy job that pays the most money. He’s actually been with MGB for a long time and is pretty advanced in his career there. Because of that experience, some other opportunities have come up, in addition to some considerations about how to proceed if he chooses to stay at MGB. Way too complicated to detail in a reddit post, but thanks for the suggestion.

Still hoping for a recommendation for some kind of career counselor type of person who can help him consider these options and potential outcomes he hasn’t considered.

Reply to Favorite Croissants? by holheartedly

Okay....but are there any recs for a place in Back Bay or Downtown Boston specifically? I have to confess that one of the biggest perks was Madeleine being within walking distance on an early morning....🤞🤞🤞

I mean I don’t listen to all four hours, most days hours 3 & 4 are just repeating hours 1 & 2, I was just making the point that podcasts aren’t really an option if you like to listen to sports radio each day.

I also don’t listen live instead opting to wait for the episodes to be uploaded as podcasts and that cuts the runtime down to 45 minutes for every hour before skipping the ads.
