Can we also do CBC? They're very similar.

<plays a good song by a talented artist>
<I am confused that it's not one of their absolutely mediocre poo poo standby bands/artists>
<CBC host> "And that was "Major Tom" by David Bowie, who passed away yesterday at the age of . . . "
"gently caress!"

m-mods? Someone is derailing the thread
I've also legit mistaken the original "Everywhere" by Fleetwood, and 'Man Who Sold the World' by Bowie for covers after not hearing them forever when they popped on my local music public radio station and felt pretty dumb
more so than usual

The only way to get huge fast is to insult a passing witch and hope she curses you with Beast-strength.


Also a lot of overlap with college radio:
Man 1: Ohh, so like, we're playing songs today-
Man 2: With-
Man 1: Wait-
Man 2: Sorry. Go ahead. [pause] G-
Man 1: Oh- wait- oh okay. [pause] We're gonna play songs that have a theme.
Woman 1: [microphone quality noticeably worse] What's today's theme?
Man 1: W-
Man 2: I-

In the next hour, we examine the human cost of recent banking industry scandals.
Don, an 8 figure earning executive, may face cutbacks to his salary and future earnings. Marta, a Balinese immigrant who is contracted to clean the bank's penthouse, is also probably facing some kind of self-inflicted money woes.

We'll hear how Don plans to fight back, next, on Money Hour.

Welcome to Democracy Now, democracynow.org, The War and Peace Report, I'm Amy Goodman

democracy now has this weird, weird thing where they leap on any opportunity at all to emphasize that the person they're interviewing is an award-winning whatever. whether a journalist, filmmaker, writer, if they've won an award then by god Democracy Now's going to make sure you're aware of it.

they're also bad at interviewing and they have this terrible habit of asking someone to go into some profound anecdote or whatever when there's only a minute left on the clock


that said, i'm glad they're around, i just wish they were better at what they did

also they're not NPR

"Former bartender turned recent government employee Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez noted that the slight increase in taxes for wealthy Americans might help offset the enormous costs of not allowing people to die though she did not address allegations that such a socialist policy would be rendered unconstitutional. Meanwhile, on the other side of the aisle, Genius Wonderkid and Policy Maverick, Paul Ryan, who served as a Vice President candidate before his tenure as a wildly popular and influential Speaker of the House of Representatives, noted that it was unlikely that Ms. Cortez had worked out the particulars of such a plan.

"It's not just something you can scribble on the back of a cocktail napkin", he added."
