There are not one hundred people in the United States who hate The Catholic Church, but there are millions who hate what they wrongly perceive the Catholic Church to be.

all of these shows are extremely good and another good show that doesnt get posted about is science friday with ira flatow which is extremely good. he has a new gal who hosts sometimes now and she is very good too. i was skeptical about her at first as a big flatow fan, but ive come to accept her into my heart.

sci fri is really cool. i dont think ive heard the new gal tho

never heard on being though, i guess kqed doesnt run it. also not sure ive heard Marketplace Money, though regular marketplace isn't that good but ky risdal has a sexy voice so its fine

Are you loving kidding me. Ira Flatow is the most awkward, terrible interviewer that has ever been. Even if you're trolling you've gone too far.

dear god, gently caress ira glass. his speech pattern is unbelievably irritating.
also prairie home companion is terrible.

there was some show or announcer or someone in the triangle area, north carolina when i lived there (maybe it was national) but she must have been about 95 years old and always sounded like she was going to die mid-sentence.

npr sucks on the whole really since it's so loving blatantly biased but its the only thing resembling news on at 5:30 here.

its cool that you're so broke brained you come into the "worst show on npr" thread and your mind is so filled with trump AIDS and gay frog goblins etc that you go on a political tirade lol. you cant even contain it to say that ira glass sucks or whatever like everyone else with bad opinions itt.

The local NPR station here is pretty good, they did a story on a guy killed by a mountain lion and played the song "wildcat" by Rattattat as the outro music.

Also I had a fling with the lady that does the traffic in the morning and its cool to hear the daily traffic report on the radio from someone that gave you a blow job.

My station (although it may have been 1A) played Goldeneye 64 music during their coverage of the first senate hearing on the Russia investigation.
