So I think that Kerry’s OTM podcast is broken. She says hers downloads story-by-story. On mine, I see (what I think is) the cover story - the interview with Michael Lewis - followed by the full episode.
Also, Brooke wants you to call; we haven’t yet, if the spirit moves you, as Brooke says, then let […]
The election is over, kids. You can go to bed without thrashing around in doubt and/or fear, wondering if your favorite candidate would make it into the particular office they were running for. If you care about Congressional elections (you DO, right?), then we’ll see you again in two years.
But we all know which race […]
This week’s “On the Media” features a wide variety of reportage on such widely divergent topics as the election, the election, the election, the election, the election, the election, the election, and The Onion.
I hate to sound cynical; I know the election’s important. Kerry’s already voted. I’m still trying to figure out what to do, […]
We’ve been playing the Presidential debate drinking game. So we’re drifting, topically, and my typing ability is waning. Meanwhile, Kerry just started knitting with five needles.
He passes to the man, and boom goes the dynamite. (It should be noted that this video is exactly why we are both proud to be graduates of Ball State […]
Given the events of this weekend, neither Kerry nor I were able to focus long enough to sit down and write our “On the Media” highlights post for this week.
Thankfully, Matt Bloom - an astute NPR listener and one of my best friends - was listening to OTM as soon as the podcast downloaded, and […]
Thank God someone finally got Bob to put his shirt back on.
Throughout the duration of the contest to design “On the Media’s” first T-shirt, Bob says he’s hosted the show topless (which, ew).
It’s to the credit of Cincinnati, Ohio’s Phil Mastman that he entered the contest, with a design prominently featuring our favorite weekly bit […]
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.
Is it just me, or does Brooke seem to be absent a lot lately? Does anyone know where she went? Does she even still exist? Or has Bob just replaced […]
Bob gets a break this week, so this week, we get all Brooke all the time. Which is kind of cool, because she’s in China checking up on the branding of China on the world stage, especially in the leadup to the Olympics.
To be completely honest, I’ve kind of tuned out China coverage since the […]
Every time I hear someone in the media say “primary season is over”, I get unreasonably excited. Like just now, when Bob opened the episode thusly and I let out an audible sigh of “thank God.” The problem is that he keeps going, his voice full of ham-fisted sarcasm. I know it’s radio, but […]
Okay kids; it’s Friday. Which means you should get your beer in your hand and sit back. Take some weight off your feet, because it’s time for us to do the heavy snark lifiting for you, at least when it comes to “On the Media.”
I’ve listened to this week’s episode at least four times over […]
