which is the show John Hockenberry does? I forget but he started a show on 9/11 with a long self-absorbed rant about how he's "done with 9/11" and it was the most stereotypically  thing I've ever heardlike none of the things he said were actually wrong, but it was still ludicrously grating and insufferable

gleebster posted:Wow, must be a Mormon, right? Televangelist. And not the good kind like John Oliver. The bad kind like..... the rest. Praise be. PBS and NPR have had frequent attacks in the past by the GOP to stop giving any sort of grants to them, even though they are not liberal. They generally just have facts and other strange things with some culture mixed in. Pissing off the frothing extreme right is reason enough to love them even if you don't listen to it.

Opera Bitch posted:I am glad to see another CT NPR listener here, because I also love the Colin McEnroe show. Chion's intros are almost always awesome. Faith Middleton's overly enthusiastic voice and the weird level of excitement she and her guests have on the Food Schmooze drives me nuts though.  gently caress yea WNPR buddyI'm kind of surprised mcenroe doesnt have a national audience, the show topics are occasionally local/regional but even then its 100 times more interesting than pretty much any public radio show I can think of excepting maybe Fresh Air. I also cannot loving stand faith middleton.

I like NPR, I listen to it every day on the drive to and from work. Except for saturdays because they only have classical music on the mornings and that boring food show during the evening.

I wasn't saying that the Saturday programming is bad, just bad when I get to actually listen to it. Honestly I mostly only get to listen to NPR news.

What's that show............with the guy.............who speaks softly into the microphone.......................in a very halting manner.................and you're tearing out your hair.................because you want him to get to the goddamn point.....................but he won't. It also has musical breaks that would be accompanied by action shots if it was broadcast on television, but since it's radio, it's just uncomfortable filler where nothing happens. Yeah, that show sucks.
