The quality of weekly public radio has dropped through the loving floor. On my local public radio station they replaced it with a show that talks constantly. every day. About how I should feel bad for being a white person and all the ways im oppressing people by existing. Like look, I can get aboard the white guilt train on occassion but for the love of gently caress find something else to talk about every once in a while

For the bazillionth time, she has a disability called "spasmodic dysphonia" which is why she talked so slowly. I'm sure being 114 years old didn't help, but it wasn't the root cause.

I'm glad she's gone, people with hosed up voices don't belong on radio. Radio requires a clear, resonant voice that is simultaneously quick and deliberate. Might as well give Temple Grandin a radio show if you're going to ignore basic rules like that. I literally cannot remember anything she ever said because every time I heard her talk I stopped to wonder why they let somebody with such a hosed up voice on the radio. It's like putting a cripple in the olympics, and I ain't talking one of those South African blades-for-legs type cripples, I mean the Stephen Hawking type cripples. She was still better than people who whisper an inch away from the mic though.

I think Barack Obama would make a really good radio host and I hope in a few years he has a show on NPR. He'll probably go the easy way though and do speeches at college commencement ceremonies for a gazillion dollars a minute like Bill Clinton.

between Prairie Home Companion gone last summer and Rheem last month they really need to up their game with programming. 1a blows they need to roll it into code / switch and never speak of things again.

Feels like they are trying xtra hard to appeal to woke millenials and all I really want out of NPR is a 40 min piece on the door hinges of Hearthstone Castle like the good ol days.

Goodness no, now that wouldn't do at all!
I feel like the quality of guests they have on 1A has been skewed toward mostly Hillary Clinton Democrats and it's insufferable. Diane had gravitas and I loved hearing her mute the insane callers she got then demanding that her guests answer the caller's five minute diatribe about how vaccines caused her child to only want to eat GMO corn or from a Muslim immigrant who supported Trump because he hates muslims from other countries.
