It's weird, as he's hilarious during the 6-9am morning show and he's my favourite guy on there (I like all of them though), but yeah his 9-10am show is pretty boring. It's just not the same dynamic at all. During Flames season, I'll keep listening past 9 to catch Pinder's opening segment with Derek Wills, then after that I'll generally shut er down.
Yeah Pinder is definite host material, and a good one at that. Unless some other shining star rockets up the SNET radio charts out of nowhere in coming years, I'd be shocked if Pinder isn't hosting his own show in Toronto on Fan 590 in the next 3-5 years. He's definitely a talent, and I like his ability to play both the loud goofball on the morning show, and locked in, serious stats guy by himself.
I'm a daily morning show listener (save for summer), and sometimes when he does Flames games at night I don't even recognize his voice at first because he's playing such a different role, he's all biz in that slot. He plays both roles well.
