Even if the talk show host is not trying to be overly sensational, 
the idea of voyeurism nauseates me.  I never listen to any of those 
shows.  Why on earth people care to listen to another being counseled 
is beyond me.  People having physical problems, or legal 
difficulties, don't invite the whole world to come in to the medical 
doctor's office. or in to their divorce proceedings.  Why they phone 
these shows only to allow their problems to be aired before everyone 
is beyond me.
