AM radio stations in America are very popular (in cars); American drives a lot. The sound quality of AM is just good enough for human voice. The contents and the materials being presented by these radio programs are very main stream, due to the fact that their target audience is the general American public. In a way, why go to America when America can come to you.
Here are some of the radio hosts that I used to listen to. All these corresponding websites do provide audible files in one form or another.

I am not abandoning Yoyo, I am just dancing slowly away from it.
Contrary to many radio stations that plays music mostly, National Public Radio (NPR) provides more conversational programs. Content covers America domestic affairs as well as international issues. Their website provides audible streams non the less than the aforementioned AM radios.

NPR's programs are very good. but the hosts are too objective, un-emotional, high-brow and not down-to-earth enough. Not that I am complaining, I listen to NPR quite often, and I find myself becoming more numb and cold-blooded due to NPR overdose.
NPR's brand of libralism is commonly known as "Tax-Raising, Latte-Drinking, Sushi-Eating, Volvo-Driving, New York Times-Reading, Body-Piercing, Hollywood-Loving, Left-Wing Freak Show"
