Genesplicer posted:Having actually worked at a public radio station (Pacifica Radio, though, not NPR) I can tell you that a lot of this is frighteningly accurate. Is Pacifica as chaotic as the hosts make it seem? You're listening to NPR, National President Radio, all the latest news about the president, all the time, there's nothing else in the world going on. (This isn't even just a Trump thing)

Vato posted:Chicano works perfectly well. If you are Honduran, you can say that. This new thing is silly. In fact, a bunch of the MEChA folks voted to remove Chicano-Aztlan from the name and charter because they felt it was alienating. But on the other hand it is a self-designed refferrant so anyone that feels sympathy or a connection can adopt it.

e: I just realized which thread I effort-posted this in. Imagine this is being spoken between pledge breaks in a whiny nasal voice that is absolutely accentless except when I overenunciate the hyphenated Spanish half of my last name. I think the issue is around needing a positive term that can be used by outsiders, and by that I mean anyone outside a specific ethnic enclave — even though I am Mexican-American, that is informed by a specific socio-economic and cultural experience geographically centered in south Texas that doesn’t necessarily have much in common with (e.g.) Californians. I sorta dislike Latinx (mostly on grammatical grounds but I understand and accept the reason for superceding the gendering in declining it), but there isn’t a better term I can think of to use generally for what we would have called “Hispanic people” thirty years ago. (Also, 30 years ago, “Latino” meant of Mexican descent to me, but living in Texas with my background might have colored my understanding.) Obviously, the specific is to be preferred and used when possible. But when collectively talking about people of Chilean ancestry in Chile, Spanish-speaking Mexican-Americans of the Rio Grande Valley, Puerto Ricans, or Dominican abuelas in NYC walk-ups, I’m not sure what better term to use.

Here's a 30 minute spoken word story read over the air by the "humorist" who wrote it and obviously has no sense of comedic timing whatsoever. This 30 minute story is about as funny as a particularly mediocre New Yorker cartoon you could look at in 5 seconds.

Does Wade Goodwyn get national air time? Or do I just hear him because I’m listening in Texas? He sounds like they interviewed people to cover Texas news and picked him because they thought “oh poo poo that dude sounds Texan as gently caress”. They are right though, he’s the only one who doesn’t sound like the audiobook narrator for The Atlantic. https://youtu.be/RmAkYM5JTm8

Isn't getting hired at NPR dependent on how many staffers you can get to nod off while listening to your interview? NPR good for the truckers industry as somnambulant drivers will finish themselves off so more robo-truckers who DGAF about sleepy radio hosts can take over

cult_hero posted:"Disturbing reports out of Washington this morning that every National Public Radio employee, and indeed the non-profit corporation itself, have resigned in response to allegations of sexual harassment towards each other, themselves, entire cities, and the corporation's own office furniture. One series of text messages, leaked to the online gossip magazine TMZ, reportedly relays a conversation between Morning Edition host Steve Innskeep and Lynn Rosetto Kasper, host of the nationally syndicated cooking program the Splendid Table, in which Innskeep is quoted as saying 'You see that f-ing ficcus on the fourth floor? I would F the S out of that thing if I got it alone.' To which Rosetto Casper responded: 'L-O-L. It looks like such a slut, I would love to lick this 50 year old balsamic from the Modena region of Italy off it's sweaty slut bark.' More on this, as it develops."

I'm going to do a human interest piece, but it turns to be about a creepy voyeur woman who spied on couple as one of them slowly dies from some sort of illness. The story will never acknowledge how creepy the lady is, and act as though she gained some profound insight about life through the experience.

There was an article or blog from years ago about how much Garrison Kieller/Prairie Home Companion sucks and it was extremely funny. Just an epic rant. Over the years I have searched for it many times and never been able to find it again. Goons are good at finding things, please find this.

I listen to NPR every day but their blatantly dismissive attitude towards everything Sanders is loving obnoxious. The worst was some panel a couple of weeks ago talking about the democratic candidates and when Sanders came up, literally the entire panel was like "noooo. To old. We don't need another old man president hahahah" and then capped it off with some woman saying "and I still haven't forgiven him for what he did to Hillary and it's his fault that Trump is President"
