They thought there were too many discussion based call-in shows, and wanted to expand their 'news magazine' offerings.

Listening to 'On Being' at 3pm Sundays is an excellent way to induce a nap. On the other hand, 'Splendid Table' makes me want to stab somebody with a lobster fork.

I've been to tapings of both 'Wait, Wait' and 'Says You!' and would definitely go again if they come back to town.

Ah good to know.

On Being loving sucks. Its nothing but apologetics for stupid religious belief and it pisses me off.

If you want to help, prevent the war.
Don't save the remnants.

Save them all.
Every guest on every show begins every answer with "So,". It's like the drat fedex arrow, I can't stop noticing it now.

Diane rehm is really good at asking questions that mask the fact she has no idea what the interviewee is talking about. Fox anchors should all listen to like 1000 hours of her

The last time I listened to NPR they were broadcasting some comedy show where the comedian told a joke that went on for several minutes about someone's son going to Haaaavard and then the punchline was Yale. The audience, whom I can only assume were a collection of old east-coast WASPs sitting in a stuffy old theater, started laughing hysterically. It was basically this in real life:

I eventually had to turn off my car radio during work every time Terry Gross tried to convince that people not getting hired because they didnt know how to speak properly was hateful towards women. Then she was offended when a leading feminist and a businesswoman came on the show and said she was full of poo poo so she switched to talk to a lady with a blog for a half hour
