The Tom Leykis Talk Show is considered to be among a different style of talk radio. It certainly isn’t dishwater and it’s not political and it sure isn’t shock radio. Shock radio is known to be very gratuitous and contrived. Instead of being like the other shows that rely heavily on in-studio guests and sidekicks, as well as prerecorded gags, Tom Leykis is virtually working completely alone when he is doing his four hour show moving at a pace that is so fast and he interacts with callers as well.
Since 1994, the show has been syndicated from Los Angeles and has been able to develop some basic trademark styles as time as passed and it has been able to nurture the audience.
