America’s top ten local talk show hosts: #3 – Sean Rima/Austin

Sean Rima
98.9 The Big Talker/Austin
Monday-Friday 6-9 am

We continue our Top 10 Countdown with #3 today. Look for #2 tomorrow.

A west coast talk radio program director told us, “I hate hosts who sound like everyone else and I love Sean Rima.”

The 98.9 Big Talker website describes Sean like this:

He calls his peculiar on-air style “Gonzo Talk,” wherein the focus is to “bring the listener directly into the twisted funhouse of my mind, and let them see the world as I do, with all its irony and weirdness.”

…On the current state of Talk Radio, Rima says most shows involve “an egomaniac who is either trying to convert you to his party, or prove that he’s the smartest dude in the room…both kinds are predictable, and boring as Hell. My goal is to provide a cool space for the audience to hang-out for a few hours, have a few laughs, and maybe walk away with something new to think about.”

Here’s Sean riffing on the topic of biocremation:
