I keep on getting phone calls from candidates' offices and they just hang up when I tell them I've already voted. How refreshing!

FactsAreUseless posted:and you get poo poo like Prairie Home Companion being on the air across the country way longer than it should have been. This is the least funny loving show I ever listened to. Fortunately I generally listen during weekdays. But the station is not worth turning on at weekends. Just dull quiz shows and unfunny comedy shows.

It's very frustrating.

Not a Children posted:Oh my god so you're the reason they keep loving making them I have Carl Castle's voice on my Home Answering Machine and nothing you can do will take away that joy from me. Also RE: The Takeaway and On Point, I think a lot of it comes down to screening processes. Getting experts to talk about concerns that "average citizens" have is a noble goal, but you gotta make sure you're not chasing down conspiracy theories or reinforcing dumb poo poo by giving it air time. It's a hard balance.

I like Wait Wait in the same way I enjoy British panel shows. They're empty calories, but that's okay in sporadic spurts.

^^ British panel shows are much better. I wish NPR was as good as BBC Radio 4. Anyone who thinks Wait Wait is good should listen to The News Quiz for an actually funny radio quiz show.

FactsAreUseless posted:I haven't heard The Takeaway, but On Point is hit-and-miss, and I believe it has a similar format. I like Diane Rehm a lot, but that's because Diane Rehm is a way better moderator of discussions than Tom Ashbrook. (Yes yes, that Sanders interview sucked, I know). This post is extremely my poo poo. Ashbrook let's his callers say the most ridiculous bullshit, like it's a CSPAN call in show. That said, he did a show about grief shortly after his wife/partner died, and it was incredibly gripping to hear him try to deal with his public and private grief on air. So I give him a pass, but I don't want it to replace Diane. Unfortunately, in Austin he already has for the first hour.

Just dull quiz shows and unfunny comedy shows. PHC is less humor to me and more like a Twilight Zone episode. The music was almost always insufferable, even if performed by accomplished musicians. Keilor's dialogs were entertaining, particular when the listener was high as gently caress.  Writer's Almanac is/was the worth the minute. The rest of it (WWDTM, Etc) is essentially Reddit Radio. Echoing a previous poster's sentiment: more longform expert discussion panels plz kthx. lol whats attention span precious

"Well, panel, the caller makes a good point. How are the American people supposed to trust a suspected Mohamedian in the white house?" That's my Tom Ashbrook. I kind of hope Sam Sanders and Tamara Keith get a promotion out of this cycle though. NPR politics is usually very good.
