npr is such trash though, especially since they stopped airing Car Talk reruns
“Trash” seems a little strong in the current media landscape. And it’s hardly their fault that the Magliozzis wanted to retire.
It does seem like a silly complaint. I get it's hard for people who were used to car talk every weekend but at some point it gets stale and you move on. I'm sure there is a way to play them via streaming if you want to.
retiring is fine, but they stopped the reruns. Cartalk was literally the only beneficial thing about npr. npr is basically the cnn of radio and about as reputable.
Honestly, it isn’t reasonable to expect a nonprofit to keep using bandwidth to distribute a dead program. And whether your local station airs reruns is a local decision, not NPR’s. Talk to your local station manager or program director. Failing that, see if WGBH (I think… it may have been WBUR who produced the show) have put the old programs on their website.
They’re definitely not the NPR we knew before about 20 years ago.
Nope. I was a constant listener and eventually, a supporter. That stopped many years ago. They are not what they used to be.
Agreed on all fronts. I even used to work for a member station. I got out just before they fired Bob Edwards for not being young/hip/confrontational/whatever enough. My relationship since has been very much on-again/off-again. Just when I think there’s a spark of the old NPR, they go and step in it. :(
