Long time listener of Lynn, 20+ years.I miss you Lynn, I will never forget you.
I can’t believe how bad I hurt and never met you.
RIP dear radio host
There will never be anyone else like her…………she was a tremendous person and will be sorely missed.
Rest in Peace Lynn
RIP Lynn dear neighbor and amazing host we will all miss you very much!
Thanks for posting the shows they are golden, looking for tina ballerina and old shows from bai and abc that would be amazing…..
1.Thank you kindly for the Lynn air checks, especially as I could not find any of the recent ones I recorded… too many hard drives to check and too little I kept of late.
I had to re-do part of my pre-recorded XMAS show to mention her passing to my audience as Lynn has been a staple of my radio diet for some 30 years, I shall post a link to your page at the New York Radio Message Board and on my site, so others may find this treasure trove of one of my favorite acerbic air talents. Thanks again, I’ll surely share some excerpts of these shows in two weeks when I do my next show.
Lynn and ‘The Hitch’ in one month, the world has truly become a less literate and entertaining place with their loss. Thanks once more!

I feel like I lost family. RIP Lynn. I will miss listening to you.
Hi! I have the Alex Bennett/Richard Bey tribute show to share. I recorded it today of Sirius Left. If you want to share the mp3 on your site, please do so. (I wanted to post it on the ‘Fans of Lynn Samuels’ Facebook page but because the link to download has so many ads, I didn’t want to turn people off or confuse the masses.)
http://www.filedropper.com/lynnremembered
Please note it’s 83MB (mp3)
RIP Lynn. You’ll be missed. My only regret is that I discovered your Sirius talk show late (year before they switched you to 107 Stars). But I loved every minute of your past shows.

I hope you post the Siriu/XM show that Mike will do this Saturday…Mike’s tribute is so full of

I wish someone would post Lynn’s shows from WBAI when she had her Saturday show from 2-3:30pm with her show ‘Part Of The Act’….
Thanks again for putting up these show links. I will be able to listen to shows I missed. Going to save these as well.
That was Rufus Wainwright singing Hallelujah, but he song was written by Leonard Cohen. And yes, it was a nice closing to the show.

I love Lynn! Thanks for posting her shows.
Many many thanks for posting these!!! Such a nice outlet for so many. Your hard work on doing it is appreciated far beyond people that take a moment to say thanks:)
Folks, in case you missed Mike’s continuing tribute to Lynn Samuels last night on his SiriusXM show last night, just click on the link below. It will take you to the shows. Just click on the 5th show down. It will take you to the player. At the beginning, you will hear a short excerpt from Lynn’s WABC show from 1992. The audio is perfect.

Lynn’s former WABC colleague Bob Grant had John Manelli on and took calls about Lynn this afternnoon.If you missed it Podcast on the wabc website (starts 50 minutes into it)-http://wabcradio.com/sectional.asp?id=34738
I’ll never forget Lynn on that great line-up on WABC in the 90’s…
I remember Grant and Diamond always fighting with her to the point that WABC management had to ban the hosts against commenting on each other….
(I remember Lynn being pushed by callers into commenting on the other
hosts and her saying “I’m not allowed to comment anymore…”)
I think the most memorable were the “roundtables” that they had back then…
(All the hosts on together….)
The contrast Lynn’s voice and opinions were to all the other hosts was hilarious….
I remember a customer I had here in Bay Ridge bashing Rush (“Rush and George Brett were gay lovers”) and stating how she loved Lynn (out of nowhere….)…
WABC Radio doesn’t even exist anymore….A controlled, corporate, boring, cardboard sounding mess…. Uggghhh!!!
Curtis Sliwa commented on Lynn during the last hour of his show (970 The Apple) on Tuesday 12-27-11…Could someone post Sliwa’s comments here if they have it?
would you happen to have mike feder’s Sirius/XM show from 12-17-2011 ?
i’ve been recording his show since late 2004 and i missed that one due to a death in the family
thank you for all these Lynn audio files
Thank you so much for this. When I’m lonley and blue and need my Lynn fix,I will listen and remember the time I was happy.

27 Dec 2011, Richard Bey/Alex Bennett Lynn Samuels Tribute Show
Moronic radio host Alex Bennett groans about how Lynn “hated him”….
This guy (Alex Bennett) is so disgusting sounding that I agee with with Lynn…
I already hate this guy…..(after listening to this….).
There’s an article in today’s Daily News about Lynn. I love the smile in this photo. I have this photo on my refrigerator. I am so thankful for the clips above – I didn’t realize how much I looked forward to hearing Lynn talk about ANYTHING. Unless XM/Sirius really gives me a good deal on the renewal next month, I’m not going to renew my subscription.

Thank you for this article link. I am in the midwest and wish I could’ve hear Lynn before Sirius. Yes, I could listen to her talk about ‘anything’ as well.
I just listened to Bob Grant and John Manelli. Waded through the first part. What an incredibly boring man Bob Grant is. And the difference between the way he handled callers and the way Lynn did. That was one of the things I loved about Lynn. She was passionately interested in what her callers had to say, even when she disagreed with them. You always knew she was listening to her callers. And she rarely cut them off. When I listened to Alex Bennett I could tell he was constantly fooling with his computer. He wasn’t listening to what the callers were saying, and would constantly ask them to repeat themselves. It’s one of the many things I find so annoying about him. But Lynn? She truly wanted to hear what callers had to say, and she engaged them in wonderful conversations.
I am shocked & griefstricken. It’s like losing a good friend. RIP, Lynn.
I am listening to her last show right now. Hug your loved ones. Cherish all things you hold close to your heart. How arrogant of us to assume the greatest things would last forever! Happy Trails, Lynn. 😦 pity the rest of us left behind without you making us laugh!
thanks!

Does anyone know why they put Lynn on weekend? Those guys at siriusXM broke her heart. Lots of us sent emails to get her back on Sirius Left. No more aggravation now, Lynn. RIP.
the reason they moved her off Sirius left was because of complaints they got from listeners from all the anti Obama (and other constant anti left pro conservative) comments
she has a right to her opinions, they just don’t belong on a channel called Sirius “left”
there are 50 million right wing channels for that
she said it herself. she was replaced because she was not an Obama fan and it was pissing people off in the afternoon.
You will be missed Lynn, I loved your shows and who you were and your honesty!
My sincerest Condolences to your family and close friends.
May you rest in peace dear lady!
From one of your avid listeners.
I enjoyed Alex Bennet on the tribute show. I know she did not like Alex, but he was a very difficult person to be friends with. I met him in San Francisco. I went down to his show. He was not very receptive to being friends. Maybe he had too many hangers on? But, it was interesting to hear what he had to say about Lynn. I only liked Alex in San Francisco, when he did a comedy type show and had comedians on who were his personal friends. Alex did mention Michael Savage. He is from San Francisco, but I stopped listening to him when he went off on an Italian Restaurant for making the pasta too al dente. I never did listen to him, but he would come on the radio and I would not turn him off, but after that I turned him off. Being Italian, I didn’t like Savage’s hate rant about pasta. I decided he was so insane there was no point in listening to him ever again. I did write to Lynn about this incident, and she did listen to me and reply as if I was important. One could never be mad at Lynn for long because she was so real, no matter what she said, she was a nice person. At some point she announced she was taking trip to England with Michael Savage. I don’t know what happened, but she did not go on the trip. I thought it would have been great if she went and then reported on her show about all the crazy things he did. Maybe he does crazy things on vacation like scream at waiters. If he did not like Italian food, I don’t think English food would have appealed to him much either. That would of made a good story, but I could not listen to his political views. But, I just wanted to post because people were posting that they don’t like Alex, but I think in terms of the gravity of the situation they are petty to not put aside any feeling about Alex and focus on Lynn. It’s not about Alex, it’s about Lynn.
Thank you for all the amazing shows you posted. Theyre such a treasure. I would love to hear I think its May 2011 when sirius took her to eekends. I would love to hear the show when she spoke her mind about it. I imagine she mustve been hurt and angry.
Thanks, again
Wow, Lynn has been on weekends since May? I would like to hear her last show on Sirius Left and her first one on the weekend. Have her engineers posted anything? They must be in shock. I remember Garrett from before….and Jackie more recently. She loved those kids! She must be in heaven now chomping on her yogurt, shocked that Santorum is neck and neck with Romney….sad her lovey dovey Ron Paul came in 3’rd. I have started listening to her very last show and it is hard. So full of life. It is a shame. Hopefully, we can keep her spirit alive. Thanks to all of you. Billy posted a movie clip of Lynn on http://www.lynnsamuels.com
Hilarious!
Love your tribute. Thank you for sharing. Another sad morning without our dear Lynn to share it.
Lynn was a top notch entertainer. She was “Living the dream.” She wasn’t making millions but she had found a great way to support herself without having to work. She was a natural. Everyone’s dream is to do what they love to do for a living. If you love what you do, your not really working. Me personally am still trying to figure out what it is I love to do besides writing a lot.
I hadn’t written to lynn in months so I decided to do so around early January. When she was on the air 5 days a week we emailed almost daily. She would say something on the air & I would comment on it via email. She often answered with a one or two sentence reply but occasionally she wrote a whole lengthy paragraph reply to my comment. I understood she replied to a whole slew of emails everyday so I understood why she replied with such short emails. She would always reply to my emails within 24 hours of me sending it to her. Towards the end of January, I was surprised not to have received an email reply from Lynn. She never took this long to reply to my emails. It is very difficult for me to listen to her show on Stars because of the time slot she was assigned was very bad for my schedule so I was unable to listen. I had no idea what was going on with Lynn or her show. I went to my Sirius app on my phone to see if I could now record the show since Sirius had just upgraded their iPhone app. I did a “Lynn Samuels” search and her name came up. I tapped on her show on my phone & it can up blank as far as getting show details. I thought to myself, oh no, the suits have fired her again. I was really upset by not seeing her show. I did more research & found out she had passed away on Christmas Eve. I can’t explain to you how my heart sank at that moment. I thought back to all the times she would kid, usually at the end of the show, about how she would not wake up or she would get hit by a bus, otherwise she would be back the next day for the next show. I am still in disbelief. From time to time, since learning of her passing, I feel as if I can still email her to tell her how much I miss her two hour show and that I hate it that I am unable to listen to her show on the weekends due to the time slot it’s in conflicting with my schedule. Every time I think about sending her an email, I then suddenly realize, seconds later, that she has passed and that I can no longer express my opinion to her, I get that heart sinking feeling that I got when I initially read about her passing on Christmas Eve all over again. I have had Sirius radio for many years. The only thing I listened to on Sirius was Lynn Samuels. The music channels are useless since you can get them all for free now via a multitude of new and old online, customizable music-streaming apps. The only content worth listening to on Sirius radio are the talk shows, in my opinion. Since I haven’t allowed myself to get hooked on any other Sirius host but Lynn, I will soon be canceling my subscription. Just in time now that I am being billed $23 a month instead of the $7.50 I was charged 5 years ago when I signed on to Sirius. I had been holding out from canceling ever since Lynn got moved to weekends in hopes that she would return to a Monday through Friday slot. That will never happen now! It is very sad that she didn’t go to the doctor to get a physical and to have her heart checked. Just like Alex Bennet said, had she gone to a doctor to get checked she would more than likely still be alive today. A sirius radio, other than for truckers & other long distance couriers, is useless these days. You can stream everything on the internet now.
Three or so years ago Lynn, out of the blue, decided to send me something of hers. It meant a lot to me that she did so. She sent me a collection of her personal cassette tapes of her shows from back in the WABC days. I listened to them. She was on top of her game then. She was younger, spoke faster and her voice was crisp as ever. That was about 52 thousand cigarettes ago, so-to-speak, so it’s no wonder. I too smoke so there is no room to criticize here. I will miss her and her show.

I just found out the sad news about Lynn. Since she went to weekends I rarely got to listen but looked for her this past Saturday and wondered why she wasn’t on. As I walked through Target yesterday I thought of her and made a mental note to go to her website and see what was up. Lynn was one of a kind and I will miss her candor and humor. Where ever she may be, I hope she is at peace.
Just to say I still miss listening to Lynn! Missing her commentary on the election.
Yes, I am arriving late to the news of the passing of Ms. Samuels. I looked her up a few minutes ago to see if I could find her on Sirius and listen to that voice I loved so much. Imagine my shock. I will miss her, already do.
Wow I just found these. Thanks!
