While I was listening to the housing crisis episode of “This American Life” this morning (which, sorry guys, didn’t clear it up for me at all), something unusual happened. Mid-episode, a quick ad aired for a new Chicago Public Radio show called “Sound Opinions”.
It’s a music show hosted by music critics Greg Kot and Jim […]
Since Matthew and I couldn’t make it to the special showing of “This American Life” in movie theaters in cities all around the country (excluding mine, of course), we turn instead to our friend Shelley Powers for a review.
She was able to attend a showing in Jackson, Miss. and graciously agreed to let us live […]
I just want to point out that our 100th post is one of our “On The Media” recaps. It’s been a good run so far. We’ve teased Bob about Brooke, and now that he’s started to listen, the tables have turned. With post #100, it becomes clear that it’s Brooke who needs to come […]
I’m spending a good chunk of time with my family, before I move the 500 miles to Memphis. Staying at my parents’ house means a slightly different radio market than I get at my apartment. Which means that some of the NPR time between “Morning Edition” and “All Things Considered” is filled with things which […]
Apparently, you’ve had some trouble figuring out who we are. I know it can be confusing. We’re a pretty large state, with a mostly Republican reputation. For the sake of your understanding, I’d like to walk you through an Indiana Voter’s day.
Does anyone else find it a little offensive when total strangers confirm that yes, you are boring?
Whenever this happens, I have a hard time forgetting that most of the time, it’s a general “you”, not one specifically directed at me. I can be overly analytical like that.
So this afternoon, when the I listened to […]
Apparently people have been saying that while I’m the friendly one, Kerry’s the fun one.
Kerry’s friendly, too. She just has all the snark.
Sorry I’m, you know, boring.
If I am Morning Edition, she is The Bryant Park Project.
If she is Morning Becomes Eclectic, I am Performance Today.
If I am Weekend Edition, She is Weekend […]
It’s Friday, and you know what that means - Brooke, Bob, and German porn. You’ll wish I was joking by the end of the recap.
First up, a story on military analysts. These are retired members of the armed forces that were coached by the Pentagon and have all sorts of ties to the service that […]
Tonight, in theaters all over the country, people are settling in to big, cushy theater seats to watch a live screening of This American Life. It’s going to be all of the heartbreaking, funny stories, some behind-the-scenes stuff from the show, and a Q&A with Ira Glass.
Sounds great, right?
It would be if we could go. […]

St. Louis to Host Public Radio Adaptation of “The Office”
We do accept tips, so you know. I mean the kind as in “news.” We’re not quite equipped yet to accept the financial kind - though if you want to give us that kind, we’d be glad to work something out. Either way, you can get hold of us here.
Jen Nathan, who blogs at Public […]
