What else can I say

Makes commutes bearable

So sorry to see this program fail, was good. Terrible stories and research the bubble gum and popcorn they provide are without any meat. Unsubscribe, remove from library.

Asking me to pay in apple podcasts to listen to a podcast that has changed from economics to politics. The show used to be so great. Good luck paying the bills as ratings and downloads fall.

I was enjoying the show but lately it seems more focused on politics than anything else. Show has drifted away from my interests.

I’m reading through the reviews and I’m just kinda of sick and tired of people trying to fabricate an excuse to go after the shows hosts and topics choices, expressing their valid genuine concerns. Leave investing and financial services to the pros and stop taking so Everything personal. Sorry your local community doesn’t help minorities and then you wonder why they turn on you. Great shows guys keep up the great work and don’t let these bias fabricated trigger words mean anything. It’s not like they have anything of value to say.

what more can i say?

I just started listening and reading transcripts of podcasts on my new phone. I have been a big fan of NPR for years and years. Slowly over the years NPR has expanded its offerings in an unbiased and very high quality of delivery. This has been good for the public as the amount of substantive and reliably truthful content has shrunken elsewhere. That said, in the last ten years or so, probably as the original staff have retired, NPR has tended to try too hard to sell itself to appeal to a different audience in ways that can be seen in the reviews. I think that the podcasts are an effort to meet this goal but it needs a little tending to improve delivery. The worst problem is one that a course in Speech would fix quickly. Enough with interrupting the flow of thought with multiple uses of “um” and “like” and brief diversions into another thought. Make it easier to follow your point by sticking to it to the end. Compare your audio to your transcripts please. You can easily see the confusion and frustrating mental struggle that results. NPR is a public radio that aims at lifting awareness and educating its audience. For goodness sakes, don’t fall into using poor English. Use proper grammar. Some of the public are learning to speak it and using you to do so. Many others just want to keep it up to scratch. Don’t disappoint them. Most of all, try to back away from diving headfirst into appearing to be politically biased, especially in apolitical topics. If you must to recap historical reality then do so coolly and without embellishment of personal bias. NPR is supported by personal funds for the public good. Balanced and factual information is needed to expand the audience. You are trying to persuade not indoctrinate. I, for one, am willing to hear views that run sideways with my beliefs and experiences, but not unless sprinkled with recognizably unvarnished facts. I enjoy NPR because of all its efforts and do support it as I can. It is the only radio that I listen to these days because of the student rhetoric, boring looping of thought, and careless lack of fact checking out in radio land. Podcasts are new. I am sorting through them NPR as a guide. Keep up the good work and sort through the reviews for their improvement. I will be listening!

Go woke go broke

Just listened to the DeepSeek episode as the host laughed his way through the recent market crash, laughed as a financial advisor had to explain this to his clients, etc. I’d so fire this host. Now, was that funny? The show has a weird tone to it in general that I’m just done with. This show just highlighted the bad side to the tipping point. hahaha
