i like marketplace and fresh air and our npr music station, but most everything else is unlistenable (radiolab) or painful attempts at "with-it" humor. it boggles my mind that people voluntarily listen to wait wait don't tell me.

I remember her saying on air once that she listened to Rush Limbaugh for a good laugh

Diane Rehm: P good show. My favourite was when she had on the CEO of Fanny Mae like 3 weeks before they went bust
Marketplace: Terrible dumbed down poo poo with horrible reporting that's basically, "thing, one sentence analyst quote, thing, no conclusion"
BBC Newsday: "A jackal in the bush is like two hyenas in the hut" from @freemombasa
Talk of the nation: less good Diane Rehm
PHC: eh, kinda fun live it turns out
Car Talk: lol if you care about cars at all
Wait wait: good for 4 episodes then gets boring
Vinyl Cafe: owns owns owns
Morning Edition / ATC / Weekend Edition: ok
The Takeaway & To the Point: lol terrible
Alternative Radio: owns owns owns
TAM: Usually good
Radiolab: <hurricane sound> preachy <can of coke opening sound> and bad <horns.aiff>
Says You: eh
To the Best of our Knowledge: P good
Travelogue: eh

I don't care about cars but I listen to car talk all the time. the two guys, don't know who they are, are crazy fun to listen to.

Last few days around 6:30 AM here in cali it's nothing but female empowerment stories with women saying phrases like "You WILL succeed. And if you don't..." Well which one is it? Will you succeed or will you have a chance to succeed?

It's billed as "financial advice for the rest of us" with a straight face, right before they take a 25 year old caller asking where to invest the half a million his dad gave him.

i think i heard it once, when a guy called in with 6 figs of med school debt asking how he could eventually be able to afford a house for him and his wife the panel seemed like they had never heard of someone having that much student debt, much less have any useful advice for him
