I much prefer the format of Bob Enyart's show over Bob Dutko's.fool said:
When Bob Dutko takes calls (usually on whatever topic was just discussed), he tries to fit in as many calls as he can, and as a result usually callers don't get more than one or two soundbites in. He might let a caller reply to his response once, and on rare occasions, twice. But then he hangs up on them (while getting the last word) and moves onto the next call.
He even does this with emails. A couple months back the Sibbie sent him an email in reply to a topic from that week. I encouraged her to make her email as pithy as possible, because he normally doesn't read more than one paragraph from an email. He ended up reading the first half of her email on the air, and then chimed in with his counterpoint, which was actually something she went on to say in the second half.
On Bob Enyart's show, on the other hand, the phone lines are almost always open for any topic. While Enyart does encourage callers to get to the point and stay focused, he actually engages them and keeps them on the line until the discussion naturally ends. I'd say the average length of time each caller gets is ten minutes but it's not that unusual for one caller to stay on the line for most of the show. Even if the show ends, he often keeps his last caller on the line so that they can finish their discussion. (And he sometimes takes calls off the air.)
Yet despite this, I have never had much trouble at all having my calls taken on Enyart's show. I suspect that this is because the lines are pretty much always open, so there isn't this rush to get on the line at certain points of the show. It might also be that people are less likely to call in unless they have really something to say, since they won't be cut off for better or for worse after 15 seconds.
I don't know of any other talkshow host that engages callers the way Enyart does.

...capital "T" shimei?. It's Bob's version and that surely can't be looked at as some capital "T" absolute; debated and hashed out? yes...Truth? That needs to be talked out.

Now here's the mark of a true Enyartian. Just knowledgable enough to be able to state the pastor's favorite paradox, but lacking the erudition to understand that batting paradoxes around is the most hackneyed method known to history of stifling debate, the equivalent of intellectually turning tail and running.
But it makes no difference how many times or in how many ways one pops the bubble on this fatuous paradox, from books of all books to sets of all sets to truths of all truth, it's the same recursive structure and the same paradox resolved, and the same frustration in trying to force Enyartians profoundly antagonistic to learning to think for themselves.
Godel's uncertainty theorem, Shimei, check it out. Your pastor's favorite paradox, resolved over 50 years ago, but then again ... nobody said he was the sharpest crayon in the box.

The "There are no truths - is that true?" paradox is even easier to solve if you just add a codicil. "There are no truths, except this one".
I prefer a further amendment: "There may be no absolute truths. But I can't prove it."
And, of course, much depends upon your definition of "truth".
