Good luck to you. I'll be sure to tune in. Do you know how much WSB used to pay the EIB Network to air The Rush Limbaugh Show? Just curious.

This is fantastic news! I’m looking forward to hearing you between 12:00-3:00, my hat is off to WSB forsaking you, my guess is that their ratings will go even higher.

Oh yeah, I almost forgot... trust yourself! You've got everything you need to do this. Self awareness especially.

I'm praying for you brother. I know you trust our Lord. For me, trusting myself is the hardest part ;-)

How poignant is this?---Rush called to encourage you when you lay close to death in cardiac ICU. Upon his death, you honored his memory with a wonderful post, recounting some of the things he had done (some mentioned above). Now you take over in his former spot upon his death. Though you never met him "on this terrestrial ball," you will have eons to fellowship and enjoy each other in God's presence.

Erick, here's my advice...because I'm so successful in radio and you're not 😉 Make it about the ideology, not about liberals or conservatives, because the latter makes it personal. We're all Americans and, truth be told, we probably share 75% of the same values. But our politicians, the MSM, and talk radio hosts all make a great living by selling us FEAR of the "other side." You rarely do that, which is why I think the timing of this gift is perfect. We need a true unifier, and this will certainly give you the platform to fulfill that role should you choose. You said it yourself: "I’ve learned the importance of building a relationship with my audience that gives us room to disagree with each other." The nation needs to learn that. Be the one to teach them.

I know this will be a lot of work. You have the energy and support from your listeners. God is there for you as well. Enjoy what little private time you can. While not all opportunities are meant to be taken, I believe this one is. Praying for your continued heath and that of your wife and family. Nevada is fun, especially the many ranges to shoot your favorite guns. AZ and UT are also beautiful. Be safe in your travels.

Congratulations, Erick! I'm praying that God will bless you with the strength of voice you'll need to succeed.

Now, just one small piece of advice )which you probably already know): Whatever you do, BE YOURSELF! There was only one Rush; there can never be another. You in no way need to imitate him; all you need to do is do your thing, and you'll be just fine.

Again, congratulations, and Godspeed in your new venture.
