Best Morning Show

Sara Trexler & Jen Garrison, 101X-FM

Strictly speaking, the focus of 101X is music, specifically modern rock, but with Sara and Jen at the controls, we're tempted to just tune out the music and turn up the talk, especially during the 9:00 hour, when they breathe a little easier and expound on a slew of social issues with intelligent and quick-witted delivery. Somehow, it always circles back to dating, but with Sara's perky, charmingly neurotic take on straight partners, and Jen's deadpan, wise-beyond-her-years riffs on gay partners, it's far more entertaining than the stereotypical shenanigans which are sometimes synonomous with the morning show.
