One of the best parts of NPR a few years back was a (possibly local station) sponsor who sold and advocated for squat toilet stands. You can't sit, it's bad for you. BUT squat toilets are weird and / or asian-y so we'll sell you a little potty stand that every houseguest you ever have will wonder what the gently caress about. So there'd be the standard NPR article about what to feel bad about in politics/current events, then there's be a commercial about how people can't even poo poo correctly

I'm gonna repeat exactly what Trump said about the Iranian drone our military shot down without questioning even one single word of it. Then I'm gonna do the same about the head of ICE's hearing in front of Congress. You will listen to it on the hour and half-hour all day. I am serious journalist. This is NPR.

In the next hour, we'll speak with Mayo Whitman, an investor in Compton who is opening an organic restaurant with family styled seating and is attracting a new clientele. "The area was just so... rich with history and just.. you know... deprived of culture that took advantage of that. So my restaurant invites people into the neighborhood, invites them to sit at a table and have a conversation."

As I slid the breathing mask over my face, shoved the CPAP machine's intake tube eight inches into my own rectum, and thumbed the power switch, it occurred to me: isn't huffing one's own farts the most immediate and direct form of recycling? By mainlining my farts, was I making the ultimate green statement? I'm Ira Glass, and today on This American Life, a story in three parts. Part one: my colleagues in the studio, who all sound like me or Sarah Koenig, have a strangely snide and passive-aggressive debate over which twee ukulele songs best define post-Trump America. Part two: Sarah Vow composes a letter to a childhood bully with the help of Lisa "Left Eye" Lopez. Part three: Marjorie Glans-Philtrum reads an intensely boring excerpt from her story about a man slowly turning into a horse.

"Hi welcome back to All Things Considered, I'm Stevinski and this is the insufferable culture part of the program where we interview a real life mandolin musician from war-torn Scotland, Mr. Jeff Jeffersby. Good evening, Jeff. When you were writing your album, "I wrote this album because my mom died and I'm sad", what would you say was the overall emotion going through your head at the time?" "Mostly sadness, what with all the mom death going on in my life." "There you have it, folks. I'm Stevinski for NPR" *Jeff's album plays, and for the purposes of this post I can't tell you what any of the music ever sounds like in these loving segments because I have already switched over to sports talk or another affiliate*

Today on This American Life, the Rat Race. Act One: we'll meet a young woman who was on top of the world. Fast cars, luxury homes, and a guaranteed ticket to an early retirement... until that all went away. We'll hear about how this changed her outlook on life. Act 2: send in the cheese. A UCLA researcher talks to us about stress. Then to close it off, in Act 3, the surprising way traffic jams may be making you a better person.

Any time I listen to 'Wait Wait', the host, Peter Sagal (and usually Mo Rocca too) make at least one joke seemingly pulled right from a topical GBS thread. Sometimes almost literally verbatim. This week was a bad example, but they brought up James Bond being replaced by a woman and Sagal made the joke of her now needing an objectified bond-boy called 'octo-dong' which I'm pretty sure was posted right in the GBS thread about it. I mean, that's not the world's toughest joke to write, but it's what caught my ear THIS time and I KNOW I've heard him and others on the show use stuff I've seen posted pretty much directly as material, so I wouldn't be surprised if they or a writer or something reads this. What I'm saying is please work 'Big Beef City' into your show material this week and I'll know for sure tia.
