Why does NPR suck on weekends?
It's just a bunch of hokey stuff and fake game shows with corny jokes that resemble humor. There is so much interesting stuff that they produce, why do I have to listen to this crap if I want to turn on their station on the weekend? Edit: I've got podcasts, but I'm more wondering why they do this. Does anyone really enjoy listening to that crap?
Get podcasts instead of listening to the radio.
I feel the same. The weekend shows are not at par with the usual quality of shows they produce.
They don't bring in cool people like me.
It's wasn't always that way. Used to great, but the big Saturday anchor hosts retired (eg Car Talk and Garrisob Kellor), but they didn't have a strong bench of new shows or a plan to create newer ones. Instead they keep trying to milk the old ones ( car talk in reruns and a lame new guy for a PHC).
Garrison Keillor got MeToo’d
It's not NPR's fault that Saudi consular officers only butcher people on weekdays.
Wait wait don’t tell me Snap Judgement All Things Considered Moth Radio Hour Freakonomics Planet Money This American Life Bluegrass Ramble That’s literally my local affiliates weekend schedule. Perhaps your local affiliate just sucks. I ❤️ these shows.
Other than the hokey wait wait and bluegrass, that's a solid lineup. Yes it looks like my stations are bad.
I guess Bluegrass is an Indiana thing. But, everyone needs some Earl Scruggs in their life... :)
You can listen to podcasts like planet money, radio lab, etc. That's what I do
Why the fuck do people still listen to shit radio, and a fuckin' public broadcasting station at that?
Because their content is great?
