Burt Sexual posted:How much of their budget comes from public funding? If you do decide to donate to public radio or TV, donate locally rather than to the national orgs., because your donation will make a much bigger difference in your own community. Both your local PBS-carrying and local NPR-carrying services and stations could use the money, so go with whichever you're getting more use out of. tl;dr PBS gets a fair chunk from the feds, NPR less, and the local TV and radio you're tuning into even less than that

FactsAreUseless posted:So here's how this works: The federal government gives money to the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. The CPB is a public-private partnership that distributes that money as grants to public radio and TV stations. Most of that goes to local public television stations, then to PBS, then to NPR, then to local public radio stations. That should be in descending order unless some stuff as changed. That's why you see more mentions of CPB on PBS than you hear on NPR. Then NPR gets funding from its own programs, underwriters, ad revenue online, and donations. Local public radio services are even more donation-dependent, as only about 3-4 percent of their funding actually comes from the federal government. Hence why so many are public radio services associated with universities. on the east coast it is basically boston and Whyy. Give money to your local radio

That’s good advice and info. They have twice yearly fundraisers here, very annoying for a week, but understood. I actually enjoy the BBC newsfeed NPR carries on the radio at night time when I go to bed as well.

Burt Sexual posted:These guys syndicate, or whatever npr does, their shows across the nation. Good ones too. One of the things that makes NPR's structure so interesting, and lets small stations afford shows from these big ones, is that what you pay scales with income. Smaller stations pay less for flagship shows like Morning Edition and This American Life, while larger ones subsidize them with increased fees. It's an interesting network of public and semi-public organizations that are all loosely organized around a common mission.

FactsAreUseless posted:Yeah, a lot of the large local stations do. Boston, Chicago, Philadelphia, a bunch of the California ones. Plus there are other national public media organizations like American Public Media, Public Radio Exchange, CPB, and non-American ones like BBC and CBC, all of whom syndicate major shows. It's an amazing revenue source if you can afford it. Morning Edition and This American Life are once a week programs

Those shows are great because the hosts are totally comfortable with how absurdly dorky they are. They don’t put on any pretenses about being cool or hip, they’re just trivia dorks dorking it up and having fun. It makes for fun listening. There’s another quiz show that has one host who strums his guitar and plays horrid parody songs that’s like the exact opposite of that. They’re so desperate for acceptance that at times it’s almost painful to listen to.

Every Moth Rsdio Hour story is a coin flip between interesting and eyes rolling out of my head. Half the stories are failed writer/commedienne/vloggers talking about how hard it was to move from the Lower East Side to the Lower West Side after ending their “not quite a serious relationship...” pause for laugh, “but also (insane vocal fry) not not serious, riiiiiight?”

FactsAreUseless posted:Yeah, it's real good. Also good despite the world's most boring name: Selected Shorts. Selected Shorts is great (as is The Moth.) My local NPR station plays music all night, but I really wish they would do story-type stuff sometimes. Such a good way to fall asleep. verbal enema posted:Oh and Vinyl Cafe but i haven't heard it in years Poor dead Stewart McLean. If I’m remembering right, he was all “people don’t need rebroadcasts; give some young folks with new ideas a shot” wasn’t he? It saddens me that Vinyl Cafe isn’t part of Sundays in the car anymore, but I can respect that line of thinking.

I really liked listening to the Moth as a lot of their stories were good and the boring ones acted like background noise while I was driving. Snap judgment and storycorps can be good too. I think I hate Filmspotting more than any other radio program tho because the hosts sound so goddamn punchable. Doesn't help they talk about obscure art films as if they were well known popcorn flicks.
