Somewhere there is a guru on top of a mountain, probably in Europe, who earns a 7 figure income by restoring ancient microphones, radios, maybe even obscure glass optics for even more obscure film cameras.

Great hobby, very doubtful career path. When that ***hole finallly goes silent, not gonna be much on AM. Or is he gone > Dunno.

Are you talking about Ed Schultz? There is lots of stuff on AM, it just depends on where you are and when you listen.
