The Ted Radio Hour is the absolute worst of the worst, with the poo poo religious morning show for yuppies who are "spiritual" coming in at a close second. I lol at anyone who claims NPR is leftist. The most cringe worthy bit of radio I've ever heard is when the Ted Radio Hour had on some feminist on who claimed neo liberalism was liberating to Chinese women because it provided them with factory jobs and thus the chance to learn English somehow and become secretaries. That being said I like wait wait don't tell me

Power Windows posted:On Point. Tom Ashbrook is one of the most obnoxious human beings I've ever heard. He goes in the complete opposite direction from lobbing softballs; he steamrolls over every guest, regardless of how they're answering. loving let people speak, you jackass. This is the whole reason On Point is good though. Especially with the callers, they say the dumbest things and Tom retorts with the exact point that you're yelling at the caller from your car. It's gratifying to have him question and probe people's talking points.

we have a local program called Forum with Michael Krasny (i dont know if other PR stations play it) that's kind of similar, it's not bad but not nearly as good as talk of the nation which was amazing. krasny usually comes off as a kind of out of touch and confused old man.

Tom Ashbrook owns sometimes when someone calls in, says something absolutely wrong. He then cites the source that completely contradicts them and moves on. Feels good, man.

When I go home and don't have a satellite radio to listen to howard stern I listen to Rush Limbaugh's show and I think it is pretty much the worst show, especially when it's not elderly people complaining about liberals and whatever conspiracy (which can at least be funny in a way) and he's just giving out advice on home renovations and electrical stuff.

I used to listen to NPR for 8-12 hours a day. Then they moved a bunch of stuff to LA, killed talk of the nation for some dumb poo poo, started caring about a bunch of twee music, and spawned hordes of wannabe Ira Glass shows. Now I listen a couple times a year when I'm flipping through channels. Thanks for reading my NPR story.

I'm guessing either You Bet Your Garden is a WHYY only program or gbs just has insane reverence for "car talk, but for plants and its dead serious". Anyway I like when people call in with their strange plant problems that I will never have.

It's like this guy doesn't even get the difference between a radio station that broadcasts over the air and is privately owned and receives funding from advertisers and events, and a radio station that broadcasts over the air and is owned by probably a university but also gets money from a Corporation for Public Broadcasting grant, and is a member station of National Public Radio but also receives programming from other distributors such as APM, PRI, and PRX, and receives its funding from a mix of business underwriting, listener donations, national grants, and support from the state!

Public Radio is the shambling corpse of what used to be largely government-funded radio. (Some programs still get grants, but it's not like it used to be.) It is liberal in the "Death of the Liberal Class"/"Love Me I'm A Liberal" sense (except for Pacifica, which appears on some public radio stations mostly via Democracy Now and which is actually leftist). When it sucks, which is often, the manner of it sucking will be heavily influenced by this. Public Radio didn't used to do advertising, but now they do in the form of "underwriting." It's less obnoxious than "commercial radio" but basically the same thing. They do pledge drives to make up the lost government funding.

*rolling eyes incredibly hard* This FUCKER doesn't even understand the extremely complex and interconnected world of regional member stations, larger area networks of reporters and shared resources, universities, private entities, boards of directors, federal money, state money, business money, public enterprise money, money from individuals, and grants from private and public non-profit organizations that makes up public radio!
