[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a game now where I turn the car radio to 88.5 and see how long it takes for race, gender, or trans issues to come up (always in an in-your-face, non-nuanced way). It's usually less than a minute. It's very clear that the agenda simply became DEI stuff all the time about 5 years ago. We used to give money, listen avidly, etc. It's not not listenable anymore. They obviously just ignored the disappearing audience and chose to ride this into the ground. It stinks because we desperately need a smart local news station.[/quote]

I just drove 10 minutes to the grocery store with WAMU.  Race came up in the second minute.  I heard about how difficult it is for a metal band comprised of black females and also how underpaid black actresses are.   I’m not doubting these challenges and those stories of course should be heard, but it seems to dominate what I hear whenever I listen.  I want a broader set of topics and perspectives and I would think a mass audience (if that is what they are actually trying to appeal to) would want also.[/quote]

Yeah dude. Based on the timestamp of your post you were listening to "It's Been a Minute," which is largely about black culture. So it's not surprising that you heard a a lot about black culture on a show about black culture.[/quote]

Why do we need a show about one culture? Do we all get our own show? All I’m asking is for a PUBLIC radio station to try airing content that appeals to the general public. Yes, sometimes that will include culture-specific stories! When there is so much we could all share and discuss, why are we dividing ourselves into groups, putting up walls? [/quote]

Wow, just wow. 95% of the shows are based on white culture (Yes, white culture) and you complain about one show. I am black and I love Latino USA and the other cultural shows hosted by Native Americans, Asians, etc. If you got your head out of your azz you would learn something and not be so ignorant.[/quote]
