This is Diane Rehm, and the hypnotic quality of my voice is compelling you to listen in mixed fascination and horror at the prospect that I might literally crumble into dust in the middle of a sentence.

I like when nasally white women on NPR bust into thick accents to say a single word. It's like my mom in a mexican/chinese restaurant except it makes my mom sound racist and these ladies sound woke for some reason.

NPR has a lot of diversity issues because journalism has them but the thing I always admired most about public radio was its willingness to put people of color and women on the air. Shame that's not true in the newsrooms and the offices.

Every time Terry Gross names off the credits for Fresh Air, whenever she gets to Sam Briger, I'll always say "brigger please" to myself. It's pretty much a ritual at this point.

So Justin Amash is going to be on every NPR show, right? Wait Wait, TAL, Tiny Desk.. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Justin_Amash quote:Amash is a libertarian. He is regarded as one of the most conservative members of Congress, receiving high scores from conservative interest groups such as the Club for Growth, Heritage Action for America, and Americans for Prosperity, and praise from conservative think tanks and nonprofit organizations. He is a founding member of the House Freedom Caucus, a group of hard-line conservative Republicans in the House.

doctorfrog posted:I can't stop thinking about this post and Zoe Chace's endless credulity over several episodes and more than a year of following this man around. There is something about The Outwardly Conflicted Republican that's like catnip wrapped around kryptonite for a certain class of reporters. It's because the mythical Conflicted Republican is the only person who could every be swayed by their reporting, which would make it meaningful and progressive, rather than the status quo apologia/reinforcement it is. But ultimately it's because they're all petit boug ivy league grads who have never existed in the world outside of the political/media class so only have the clumsy lens of liberal critique which is doomed to credulity and constant surprise at every fractal feature of the world because there's no structural theory to build a better, predictive model (because then you'd have to talk about class, capitalism, ideology, etc.). My favorite bald-faced example of the credulous naivety (not the ideological blindness) is still near the end of Serial season 1 Adnan having to yell at Sarah Koenig that she doesn't know him, because after working on the story for years she's completely oblivious to him being a compulsive liar. Even he's tired of her getting confused by every detail. And she still doesn't get it, and takes it to be him calling out something about her relationship to the story or some poo poo (because in the end for all of these NPR journos it's about ~~their journey~~).

I had to stop listening to This American Life around the time of the US election because I get sick and hearing the same poo poo over and over. But what really did it for me is that I never knew what Ira Glass looked like. Once I did it was over. His voice and looks make me think its Fred Armisen doing a character so I just tune out.

Haha yeah I wonder if at a point in production they realized he was clearly guilty but it was too late to change subjects. “We have no other suspects, the victim’s family won’t speak to us and probably doesn’t appreciate the thousands of amateur detectives this will spawn, better go forward anyway.”

Car Talk was so incongruous to the rest of NPR's programming (because it was good and funny) that I have to believe it was only picked up as a prank on the network by some departing executive who loathed everyone he worked with

Driving cross-country on a weekend, the best thing that can happen was coming across Car Talk on some NPR station. When it was over I'd grudgingly listen to Prairie Home Companion, switching away whenever I got overly strong douche-chills from the musical acts or the sex pest whistling on the letter 's'.

I'll never forget the best car talk moment I ever heard on the radio: A caller had called in about her car running low on oil on the way home and throwing a bunch of warning lights. Instead of stopping the car when it happened she had made it all the way home while the car was making all sorts of horrible noises. During the call she offers to start the car and you can hear over the garbled phone static the car's engine basically grenade itself. I just remember Ray going "You might want to sit down for this prognosis" and Tom laughing his rear end off while this poor person murders their car on air. "There's a bunch of fluid coming out under the car now..." I haven't had a magical moment like that on any other NPR show, Car Talk was one of a kind.

All right, best NPR I’ve ever heard was way out in Western Kansas near Scott City (basically where the aliens land in Footfall) and it was an extremely country guy and this a direct quote I will never forget, spelling out phonetically so you get a bit of his twang “Yur lissnin to Cuntry Swing and other thangs, starrrrin In spotlight today Miss Patsy Cliiiinne” and it was like four hours of Patsy Cline and Hank Williams. Good stuff.
