I like River to river and Talk of Iowa. They are usually good shows. And Charity Nebbe is kinda hot.

Snap judgement is absolute loving trash, they pump out boring nothing stories about boring nobody people that have absolutely no intrigue, but think that having a little bit of dj beats between the segments makes them "hip". It's the program for white people to listen to so they can claim to be open to black culture. Radiolab is overproduced but at least they manage to find interesting stories. The biggest thing loving it up is Robert krolwich, that old ugly gently caress is nothing but an anti-scientific Christian "devils advocate" and has no right to be stinking up a science show. He's obviously there just to pander to Christian conservatives because heaven forbid a major US media company has a science show that is actually scientific.

Whats wrong with RObert Krulwich? The dude has done a ton of really respectable work for programs like NOVA and Frontline, among a whole lot of others. Aside from the passion for terrible sound effect he prominently displays on Radiolab, dude seems alright.

Pursue a liberal arts degree or two with full nerd passion and then luck into one of the few jobs in your field by being in the right place at the right time (as opposed to wealth/nepotism like everyone else you now know) then realize how fortunate and naive you were- and live your life in a quiet panic as you mingle with people for whom your sole source of income is a hobby

Alternatively be an attractive(ish) 20 something woman involved in said nerd activity/area of study and marry money- usually a much older gross guy- and if you don't get famous while young turn into a domineering 40 something rage queen adjunct professor or nonprofit fundraiser who rules with an iron fist

I used to like Radiolab, but then they started getting way too pseudo-sciencey. I swear they have a rolodex of doctors on speeddial they know will agree and validate whatever outlandish conclusion they've come to that week. Also the special effects nonsense. This American Life is good. I could listen to Ira Glass read ingredients off of a cereal box for hours. Serial was good, but you knew they were never going to reach a real conclusion. Probably ruined the lives of everyone involved. Again. As a depressed white 30 something, Johnathan Goldstien's depressed white 40 something stories really speak to me.

I'm pretty sure I only still have this job because I remind my boss of her dead son.

Snap Judgement is okay, Glynn Washington just needs to relax. His hosting interludes are way too over-scripted and cheesy. My local station added the Takeaway to its weekday programming which pissed me off. John Hockenberry is an obnoxious doofus and now he's taking up the airwaves during what would otherwise be my peak NPR listenjng time

I like On Point a lot. Tom Ashbrook is a really level-headed and inquisitive guy. The Friday News Roundups are good. I like Jack Beatty too even though he has this tendency to write articles about things and then starts reciting them when he gets asked a question i think Diane Rehm is a trooper and and has a decent enough show and her voice doesn't bother me Only beef is that my local station is run by UF students. they all sound like they're 14 and they gently caress up the transitions a lot.
