npr loves to have intresting stories and programs that I would like to listen to right as I'm getting out of my car but complete garbage as soon as I start my commute.

If you're a passenger in my car you're listening to NPR unless Dr Zorba or The Splendid Table is on, in which case we ride in silence. mods please change my name to all wangs considered or a prairie homo companion

interwhat posted:Yep. It's on early Saturday evening and probably Sunday at some point i know i am totally cursed when it comes to Prairie Home Companion. I could have it programmed into my phone to always alert me when it's on and I would still always have to listen to 5 minutes of it before I realize I'm pissed off and hate it and change the radio to spotify or something i have always hated Prairie Home Companion. It is one of the most intensely saccharine yet somehow completely insipid radio programs to ever exist to my ears. I find absolutely nothing entertaining about it, and I've felt this way since I've been listening to NPR. Normally, I can just avoid shows and programs that I don't like, but for some reason the universe has decided that I must be presented with A Prairie Home Companion at least a couple of times a month. A few years ago, I was dating a girl and it was going great; we had a ton of similar interests and hobbies. We were amazing at pub trivia, we loved the same kinds of movies for the same reasons (although we were never really able to make it through movies very often, we would tear each clothes off before it ended) the sex was awesome, we had similar plans and goals in life, and importantly but overlooked, we hated most of the same things too. People underestimate how much of a wonderful bonding experience it is when you realize you hate the same things your partner does. The relationship was going great. The only caveat is that not only did she love A Prairie Home Companion, she had actually performed on the show before. Obviously, I'm not a hosed up enough human being to call things off because she likes a radio show that I hate, especially when I'm head-over-heels for a girl, so she'd listen to the podcasts on her own when she could, which was very sweet, but sometimes there was nothing else to listen to on long trips so I'd shrug and deal with Prairie Home Companion for a while. And then one day, she had to move away. She met a guy half a year later, and had a kid with him. I hate Prairie Home Companion even more than I used to, but I'm cursed. It is always on.

Diane Rehm has a disease that affect her throat muscles (?), and she was a great host and would often press her guests. But yes, sometimes it was difficult to listen to.

He should've just cast Immortal Technique as the lead instead of handicapping his craft simply to avoid being consistently delivered to the garbage can again.

I like to car talk when my uncle & me were driving me home from construction sites he would tell me the car problem before the hosts did. On the other hand one time I tried to listen to NPR and it was that table show and people are making noises like lipsmacking in eating noises and I nearly pulled over the car and vomited my lunch !!!!!!

Car Talk would suck if you don't care about or know jack poo poo about cars. Fun fact: You know how Tom was always forgetting poo poo in the last couple years of Car Talk? That's because he was dying of Alzheimer's.

Democracy Now is bad in a hilarious way. I think the last time they mentioned Venezuela was when they had some Venezuelan government official on in March or April and they just lobbed him softballs the whole time, and now literally dozens of people have been violently killed by both government and paramilitary forces as part of a crackdown against protests against a slowly entrenching dictatorship and not a fuckin' word on it. This on a show titled "Democracy Now" They're absolutely terrible at interviewing people, half the time they can't even be bothered to formulate specific questions or guide the interview meaningfully and instead just say something along the lines of "a thing happened/someone said something, respond" and just let the guest ramble on endlessly. I'm not entirely sure whether the Noam Chomsky shows are a way for Amy Goodman to basically take a break or if she just can't abide the thought of not letting him mumble on air as long as absolutely possible, because they basically just give him the floor for the entire show after the headlines. That said it's not the worst in a public radio spectrum that includes dogshit like Planet Money. Oh also since we're having fun slamming on NPR and Frank Deford's death is recent, anyone else remember when he got pushed to once a month last year? He really did not sound happy about that change at all at the time, I half wondered if he was drunk when he recorded the segment where he announced that change. You know there had to have been at least a few people at NPR that wanted him gone entirely.

Oh since we're including local public radio, I think at least honorable mention has to go to Air Cascadia, which is basically an old super-granola hippie lady that incoherently rants about the world for fifteen minutes. It's not even a half hour program!
