The Mystics are in the playoffs. The Nats will not be in |
I listen to NPR's UpFirst and they had a brief mention of 9/11 today... talk of where Biden would be honoring the lost men & women and a few notes about the transition from a 20+ year international relations focus on the middle east (driven by 9/11) to the recent transition to china. |
I tried but it takes so long for them to open up each issue rambling on about the various intersectionalities that I lost my attention span for it. |
When I'm in the car, I listen to the NPR Politics Podcast and Up First, among other podcasts. That way I can fast forward when I want. |
I listen to up first the podcast in the morning. I don't care about football or baseball. I'm 45. |
It sounds like you’re listening to the local portion, not NPR national programming.

OP here- correct. I listen to WAMU. I actually was a member for years, but I stopped donating after the Mike Brown/ Ferguson Missouri coverage went off he rails. At one point they were blaming the old Korean shop owner (who was beaten by the twice larger Brown) for 'preying' on poor black neighborhoods and therefore got what he deserved. RE: Bluegrass on HD- that is different. That's streaming, of course. I'm talking about a national broadcast of bluegrass for two hours every Sunday. I bet they wouldn't even host Car Talk anymore even if the brothers were still alive. |
Another NPR bashing thread? |
The local news, WAMU, won't have anything about 9/11. The Mystics finished the regular season this weekend and are prob going to playoffs. Football has barely started and the nats-dodgers game only affected the dodger's standing. Why cover another loss? Not sure what you are expecting... |
In today's edition of things that never happened... |
+1. I am 45. I also have a 20+ year old clock radio that I use as my alarm clock. |
They regularly cover all the local sports teams, including the O’s, because I hear it all the time on my morning commute. Apparently it’s woke to include the Mystics and Spirit, though? |
+2 but I listen to a lot daily as I'm often in the car and the kids do impressions of their favorite reporters. |
Same. I even volunteered for their fundraisers a few times, but no more. |
Holy shlt Elliot in the morning is still on? |
