I'm gonna unironically see if anyone in here knows what the gently caress I'm trying to find. There's a late night public radio music program where the schtick is they find weird records in second hand stores. They played some weird rear end Japanese bossa nova style music with the title vaguely like "shoryu no cattleya" and it was catchy as gently caress. I can't for the life of me find it again and prostrate myself before the Internet to be enlightened.

hi. im robert krulwich and this is radiolab. if youre just tuning in after ive said that, you may mistake me for voice doppelganger richard d wolff. but you will be cruelly disappointed when instead of talking plainly about marxist economics, i instead pretend to be the host of a science journalism podcast yet consistently react dismissively to empirical findings reported by scientists and choose to reinterpret results in a counter-evidential way because i actually hate inquiry and yearn for science to just be a mystical abyss of ignorance to stare into

welcome to planet money. we're here today to tell you that "cities are overrated" for "unskilled workers." what's an unskilled worker, you might ask? well, we're going to say that it's people without college degrees, but then we're going to turn around and basically say "skilled workers" is only comprised of people in finance, ~*tech*~, and advertising. what about people with college degrees who are still working low-skill jobs? gently caress you, that's what.

so, in conclusion, if you're not one of america's elite, stay out of the big cities, and go back home to your loving flyover country. what's that? who's going to do all the "unskilled" jobs in those big cities? gently caress if i know, the market will sort it out, right? this is planet money and we belong in a loving guillotine.

the only part of that post i made up is the part where they asked or addressed at all the question of "if big cities are a raw deal for unskilled workers and you're saying it's in their best interests to stay away, who's going to make your loving coffee and janitor your loving offices?", because of course they didn't, because in the liberal centrist consensus of NPR if you were worth anything you would have bootstraps'd yourself up out of those jobs anyway

I gave up on NPR once I had to spend 2-3 hours in my car a day driving around the Bay Area (still have a super gross dead KQED vinyl on my rear window lol) and they were reporting on things I knew about in such shallow meaningless detail over and over again that it pissed me off. This was like 2014 and I was still a mostly politics-less “leftish” person without a clue.

Once I have up on NPR I started listening to backlogs of This American Life, sometimes it could be real good... and then Ira did an episode on his hosed up, tragic dog.

He spends an hour describing how they have this small dog that developed severe anger issues, wouldn’t recognize them in the middle of the night when they had to take it out to pee, and would attack them, so they always had to have a muzzle on it, and describe how you could see the fear in its eyes when it was in one of its rages, as if it had no control. Then also described how it developed severe allergies to meats that it ate regularly, so they had to keep sourcing different kinds of meat for it to eat.

Around this point I realized these are basically lizard people and I have nothing in common with them and now I can’t hear Ira’s voice without imagining them choosing to keep this suffering creature alive in their domicile, smiling like androids as they tell themselves they are good people while they order another $400 in exotic meats for their dog that’ll last them a week. I can’t remember the story clearly any more and I’m sure the dog has been freed from its mortal coil at this point.

Oh my god, I had forgotten this episode! I had the same reaction.

The rest of the staff speak as if they're afraid of this awful dog, and the more Ira talks the more it becomes clear that it's all because he enables this terrible behaviour. The staff tries to stage an intervention but Ira just blows it off

Was listening to a story in npr just the other day about the opioid epidemic. The "close to home" subject of this story was a waspy twenty something whose downward spiral started with normal crazy weekends of cocaine and ecstasy which lead to a friend giving her a meth pipe one Monday morning for a pick me up before work. This led to a $200 a day addiction that was paid for from her job as a was horse trainer. I didn't listen long enough to see if they at some point actually mentioned opioids.

I stopped donating to NPR when our local NPR station wanted to use millions of dollars to buy another, slightly less local NPR station. They even ripped off the jazz programming of the target station in an attempt to steal their listeners. Just like in a lovely 80's movie the listeners of the other NPR station got together and raised enough money to buy it themselves, and our evil NPR station failed to take it over. I figured if they had millions of dollars to blow on stupid expansion schemes, instead of, y'know, reporting on important local issues, then they can go gently caress themselves forever

npr also buys up college/local radio stations and either homogenizes them or consolidates them

they try to pass this off as "supporting local radio"

my favorite station used to be a college station that played lots of your typical college music, but also a lot of international stuff, had shows come and go, and would alternate an hour of music with an hour of independent journalism/broadcasting debate panels/etc. the three local npr affiliates got the college admin to defund the station then bought it up, replaced the programming so it was the 4th station in the city playing all things considered/fresh air/marketplace, then shut it down like two years later
