Car Talk was the best show on NPR

Listening to callers try and mimic their car's strange noises was the bset.

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.

Term limits for public radio!

Now you have to write up a reaction-review in NPR style.

Chicano has connotations to Mexico and the Aztlan myth that makes it a little dicey to mass-adopt (it kind of squishes all the many cultures and ethnic groups that make up Latin america and Mexico). Not sure what the status of it in Honduras is, though.
In fact, a bunch of the MEChA folks voted to remove Chicano-Aztlan from the name and charter because they felt it was alienating.
But on the other hand it is a self-designed refferrant so anyone that feels sympathy or a connection can adopt it.

Any other Central/South American goons care to weigh in on this?
