OT: Andy Hart joining WEEI as columnist and host

I've listened to PFW podcasts for years, and I think he provides some educated opinions. He does his homework. My issues with him is that he was so immature and unprofessional that the show became unlistenable at times, largely due to him. Maybe it was a result of the nature and format of the show, but I hope he starts showing some professionalism.

After what he did he should have ended up on the first train out of town, then put on a slow boat to china. with a one way ticket.

Exactly correct. I gave up on PFW after endless fart, masturbation, oral sex and defecation "jokes" from Hart. I enjoy occasional smut references like most do, but he was ridiculous. We all know people who have a knack for pulling off (no pun intended) that kind of stuff successfully. Hart isn't one of them.

You're confusing TV personalities with journalists. They aren't the same thing nor are they intended to be. Hart wasn't a journalist at PFW and he won't be one at EEI.

You're right to suggest the lines have been blurred between entertainment and journalism particularly in the broadcast realm, but I believe Hart got his start in print. Part if his job will remain focused on presenting fact-based information (same with Tanguay, etc.). Hence, broadcast journalist.

I’ve been listening for around 10 years at this point and I was always amazed that group stuck together as long as they did. I like Andy but he definitely gets annoying. He is perfect for Boston radio as he has his shticks and once he takes a stance he continues with his hamfisted defense even when proven wrong. Out of him, Paul, and Fred he’s the one I’d want to lose first.

You mean the guy who posted under an assumed name on this website a decade ago and continually trashed a media personality with whom he was competing for a job?

Didn't know he was released yet.
