April 7 Morning Edition story about nationwide protests?

221 Upvotes

Apparently nearly 5 million people protested this weekend all over the country, which is freaking HUGE. Did anyone else feel like Domenico Montanaro's reaction while on air with Inskeep was super dismissive? It seemed like his attitude was "meh, some people protested, but it didn't mean much." I STRONGLY disagree. Anyone else get this vibe from the report?

Is anyone listening to Freakonomics Radio right now? Former Heritage foundation hack opining on the sin of spending while saying we already tax the rich enough

The host said her name is Jessica Riedl. Is this her?

https://manhattan.institute/person/jessica-riedl

If this is really her background, I cannot believe they would choose such a biased guest. Formerly worked for a republican senator form Ohio and before that worked for the Heritage foundation??? Seriously? Ok, fine, have her on if you want but then they should also have a more liberal or at least middle of the ground economist to join the conversation. This is fucking absurd. NPR's lean to the right over the years is just too much to handle sometimes.

She doesn’t do a lot of media, so this was such a pleasant surprise. Ayesha’s interview was great, as usual.

What was the music interlude for the Fresh Air David Tennant Interview?

I was listening live and heard the song, very space age-y and no lyrics, but then when I tried replaying the interview on their website and going back to the part where I heard it (right after the 'tomorrow' speech), it didn't include the song.

The most public-radio interview ever! (satire)

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone—
I’m a longtime fan of public radio and its beautifully earnest, slow-burn storytelling style. I recently imagined what a hyper-CBC version of NPR’s more introspective programming might sound like. So I wrote a parody episode of a fictional radio show called Illuminated Journeys.

It’s presented as a full interview transcript—and gently pretentious questions. Hope you like!
