Thank you for changing the branding aka picture of this podcast. That was a long time coming!
I listen to the John & Ken show daily for local news. I work in LA County and live outside of LA County. They approach news with honesty and logic. I appreciate the common sense they demonstrate for the most part and how knowledgeable they are on many topics just by having been radio show hosts for many years. I don’t listen to any mainstream new sources, this is where I go everyday to listen to the news from hosts that don’t spin it dishonestly.

I have listened to the guys a long time and absolutely love hearing them banter back and forth! Ken is hilarious as the devils advocate and he pours it on while John is building steam and then WHAM!! He grabs his verbal hammer and just nails who or whatever the subject is, and no politician is safe and that’s how it needs to be. GREAT show and the podcasts are the most organized format anywhere. Love the hourly format and contents so props to their web master he is doing Yeoman work. An absolutely hilarious and informative listen or download any time I can. I imagine these two guys in a sports car that is stuck in a traffic jam carrying on and then wondering how they can keep their car on the road - and mine! Due to laughing or yelling at the radio. PS love moist line, hack in a dumpster and sometimes homeless debris with them and Bidenville makes me snort my coffee a la Ed Asner...keep ‘em coming!!!

Great show, thanks for improving the quality, splitting it up, putting them right out. Great Southern California commentary, witty, but no nonsense. 2 talented long time hosts. KFI keeps delivering.

Blunt, honest truth is what you’re guaranteed to hear from John & Ken. When I am entertained and can laugh when listening to both the local and worldwide issues/news of today, I gotta recommend this show with a 5 star rating.

Not sure why KFI decided to add EXTREMELY LOUD show announcements in the middle of a show; ‘YOU ARE LISTENING TO THE JOHN KOBYLT SHOW’
This jarring interruption just another nail in the coffin for this show besides the shorter duration and longer commercials.
