i stopped listening to radiolab because the stupid sound effects they use are annoying. i am not surprised that people who think those sound effects are clever would also be racist

Hobohemian posted:Every time I tune to NPR I'm hoping it's the news, investigative journalism or something about technology and it's always some stupid rear end white people bullshit about music or how hard it is to find a good mustache wax. My parents listen to it all the time which is weird because they are most certainly on the right side of the political spectrum. As a child I was forced to listen to it in the car. One time, I think it was All Things Considered, that devoted ten minutes to a lady who added the word 'potato' to the mexican hat dance music and recorded it. That's some high quality investigative journalism right there.

All of the above and this: Upspeak. Every loving sentence sounds like a loving question. Even declared facts. I miss the days when gravel voiced commentators gave you information as a definitive statement and you sure as hell believed it. Now they'll stick anyone in front of a microphone and it sounds like a nine year old giving book report. I blame millennials for this. E: anyone who enjoys those shows they air on Saturday is a beta boy limp dicked liberal.

for me the worst part is how half of them make a lot of saliva noise while they're talking. like they can hear it in the recording room and they think it's cool so they smack their jowls and make extra slurping noises while they talk just to hear it because it fascinates them. it's like nails on a chalkboard to me

Survey: NPR’s listeners best-informed, Fox viewers worst-informed They don't like no lernin'. Yeah, I just picked the top article but look for yourself. NPR or even the Daily Show is always at the top. Fox News is always last or even UNDER no news at all hahaha.

Imagine someone who inherits several million dollars, who then gets a masters degree and a job at a nonprofit just so they have something to talk about at dinner parties Now imagine someone who pretends to be the above but only earns the $60k or so the no profit pays them, attending that same dinner party, realizing how precarious their employment situation is, forcing them self to laugh artificially and pretending to enjoy weird cheese

i havent listened to NPR since bush was still in office, and personally i like PBS programming a lot but even then NPR wasnt that good at all (aside from giving me the news when on the road - before smartphones were invented) and generally it was more fun to listen to conservative talk radio (esp the AM stations, aka the hardcore poo poo like THE SAVAGE NATION) during commercial breaks on the other presets when driving a company vehicle/anything else with no aux input ability

shut up netface posted:That garden show they play occasionally saturday mornings is obnoxious and stupid, but ultimately very informative. This is true from a few of their programs. I listen to NPR a lot but some of their programs I'm not a huge fan of. I don't like cars, but I'll listen to Car Talk when there is nothing else on. The problem is (not a problem), is that even if I don't enjoy it, I'm still learning something. It isn't a bunch of vitriol and heavily biased news bullshit. It's just.... educational programming. I love NRP.

the Diane Rehm show can be good with interesting guests and the structure leads to interesting conversation (until they start taking calls at least) it's terrible whatever weird poo poo happened to her voice i'll always end up putting it on and someone'll be like "i'm so and so in for diane rehm, she's out for a voice treatment" and i'm like sweet because i don't have to listen to her but i'll probably hear something interesting and hey maybe she'll sound better when she gets back and then she gets back and sounds worse than ever blowing precious airtime wheezing out her death rattle but deliberately enunciating every syllable of a drawn-out question for a minute and a half
