I'm Ari Shapiro and today I'm going to report on how rural communities are struggling to cope with large-scale natural disasters. At no point in this story will I mention "climate change" (and how that's making these disasters both worse and more frequent) or how the politicians these people voted for are actively loving them over.

It was on this American life. In some poll that they never really got into, probably of huffington post users, women with upspeak and vocal fry were ranked as sounding authoritative and trustworthy over more traditional sounding female news anchors like Nina totenberg. So disliking vocal fry and upspeak is both misogyny and age-discrimination since it’s a thing of millenialish generations. But ira glass also acknowledged that he does both a lot so

I'm not going to bring it up with anyone for obvious reasons, but I really, really, want to ask one of the offenders if it's as annoying and exhausting to speak with as it is to have to listen to.

Just talk normal.

I got curious and went back looking for it. Here it is: https://www.thisamericanlife.org/545/if-you-dont-have-anything-nice-to-say-say-it-in-all-caps/act-two I guess women on TAL staff disproportionately caught a lot of poo poo for it. So maybe disliking vocal fry isn't misogyny per se, but most of the hate mail and internet commenting is directed at women. And it's another outgrowth of the unfair lens held to women's behavior in our society.

Today on Fresh AIr, the radical new Environment Tax that is sweeping congress. Could we one day tax people for having children? *clip* Well, naturally there would be a means test of some sort... I imagine if, say, the family had less than $1 million in savings, the impact of their children would be substantial

I’m the guy that picks music tracks between news segments. I try to mix it up a little bit. When they ran a show about Alzheimer’s, I followed up with Forgot About Dre. When they did one on narcolepsy, I ran Rage’s Wake Up. I’m sure the 60-year-old architect really appreciates it on his drive.
