Abstract

This chapter focuses on a prominent sports talk-radio show with a large national market, The Dan Patrick Show. The narratives contested on it over time tend to suggest themes that resonate with such a broad listenership. Those narratives reflect a dominant tone of inclusiveness and generally restrained conflict of views, which can be read as contributing to a metanarrative most compatible with a truly national and relatively diverse audience.
