Buddy Cianci

Yes, we've kept the dial on WPRO while the celebrated ex-mayor has examined his myriad subject matters. Cianci has a goofy side, but that charisma is magnetic in lots of ways. And the natural punditry he's always exuded fits nicely with his on-air persona. Whether he's chatting it up with the ACLU's Steve Brown or Green Airport's Kevin Dillon, he wrestles with a subject until something shakes loose. And don't blame him for pushing that Politics & Pasta memoir — a talk-show-host's gotta do what a talk-show-host's gotta do. No wonder he's won this category three times now.
