I used to listen to NPR during commute. After you listen for a while, you start to notice these patterns…
Example:
at the top of the hour they have some high-energy, high-impact reporting on a subject that gets everyone excited, and gives NPR the illusion of being real journalists covering the real news of the day…
Then the next piece is slighly less exciting…
And by 20 minutes past the hour, they’ve moved onto snooze-fest, using people with soft, soothing voices, to tell you low-energy, low-effort shit that will literally put you to sleep.
One thing that you start to notice is how all the spontaneity and sincerity are literally scripted into the teleprompter.
NPR man: and blah, blah, blah…
NPR woman: mmm, hmm
Don’t forget the commercials asking for donations
Fundraising season is unbearable. I wont even tune in. Actually i spend most of my drive time with the radio off. That lets me think about what i want to think about, instead of letting someone else control my thoughts.
