Here are some stories not related to the election or the olympics that you may have missed this week:
- People who don’t really know you on Facebook can’t handle rejection. Neither can your co-workers or ex-girlfriends. And the best part? They all look like Robert DiNiro. (Though, I am inclined to agree with the reporter […]

This morning, an epic battle of wits took place. The battlefield: Morning Edition. You can surmise from this story’s headline both the participants and the victors.
The vanquished now lay limp and bleeding on the field while Montagne hoists the lance above her head in victory.
The transcript tells the epic tale. From the bard’s mouth, wherein […]
Over the last month or two, I’ve heard a few public radio stories on the Hold Steady and their new record. Critics seem to think it’s better than “Boys and Girls in America”, but I’m not sure I agree. WPXN called them “increasingly iconic“, and I think I can get behind that.

A couple of years ago, I bought a TV tuner for my computer. I only really use it to watch Nova (and a couple episodes seasons of “America’s Next Top Model”), but I have to confess, it’s been getting more use today. I haven’t even turned the radio on.

Brooke is out again this week, and rather than force Bob to wade lonely through another episode, NPR has brought on a temporary co-host, Carrie Nolan.

Yeah, that’s me as a little kid. Cute, huh? I liked typewriters.
It’s my day to post to R/S, but I can’t come up with anything. I’ve been kinda burnt out when approaching the task of digging up interesting things to talk about or make fun of. So I’m handing it off to the readers. I’m […]
I’m taking a break from my delicious farmer’s market water melon to let y’all know of a few changes that Matthew and I have decided to make to Radio Sweethearts. Actually, it’s just one change - our weekly recaps of “On the Media” will now be posted Monday for the current show (as in, the […]

Home from work, and This American Life saves my life.
I need to apologize for the lateness of this post; I just got home from work.
It was my first day, um, unpacking books for the Rhodes College bookstore in anticipation of their fall rush. Thank God my first day wasn’t a fiasco.
It should have been. All of the employees were locked out of the bookstore […]
