Somehow i have to advance these Koch Bros talking points as progressive or else we lose their funding.

I don't recall the On Point story. They were talking about Keillor from PHC. The CBC guy was Jian Ghomeshi from the show Q, who is long since fired.

Public radio, like most media organizations right now, has serious problems with sexual harassment, a stagnant administrative culture, and a lack of advancement. They're going to be in real trouble in 20 years when they realize that every editor, supervisor, and recognizable voice at NPR is now 80+ years old.

This saddens me.

Tom Ashbrook was the host of On Point, which was/is your run-of-the-mill current events call-in show on the east coast. Surprise surprise, he was also a sex pest and meToo'd in december of 2017.

The lack of new ideas is tragic. Somewhere out there Jesse Thorn is trying to convince an idaho npr affiliate to pickup his perfectly good interview show while Car Talk has been eating air in reruns for the last decade.

Fun fact, the legal requirement for underwriting is just that it not contain a call to action. You can say "Joe's Food: The Best Food There Is," but not "Eat At Joe's."

The sounds you are hearing are sounds that I've always known. It's the sound of trains, crucial for travel and commerce, sounds of a healthy community.

*sounds of forks clanking, plates, etc*
But lately, the folks of Heels Flat, Missipetucky have been hearing other sounds. Sounds that maybe suggest that things aren't as rosy as their 15% unemployment statistics may suggest.

*Sounds of: people chatting, vague racial slurs and "those people" can be discerned*
*Speaking: Hosiah Reynolds>> "Been livin here all my life, since I done moved here when I was 46. Things I'm hearin' now. . . well it just gets you thinking bout those kinds of people, you know. Sometimes... sometimes you just don't know"

Reynolds, now 49, credits a host of social ills on a new phenomenon. Where there were the sounds of trains, now Heels Flat hears... something new.

*a distant noise comes under the train, gradually increasing in volume until the song is clear and loud*

A new train operated by a colorful, Spanish speaking, conductor is causing waves. Some locals call it the Beanertown Express... and it's tearing the once-homogenous township apart with allegations..... .. .... of racism.

yeah it's got most of what was charming about PHC, but I like his updates to the format, like songs written for each show about where they're performing, and some interpretations of songs written by famous musicians born that day

If I recall correctly from the broadcasting classes I took like 15 years ago, the only difference between underwriting and advertising is that underwriting cannot contain calls to action or comparative statements. Otherwise, it's all fair game as far as the FCC is concerned.
