Reach out, rip it open, shock the world!

The work I used to do in radio was generally done with a screwdriver. I ripped the backs off of commercial radios and hacked and tweaked them to my own specifications. Every radio warned on the back in scary typefaces that I was taking my life into my hands.

After listening today, I'm afraid I did not care for the show at all. I understand the intent to create a different format that is less set-piece than Morning Edition, but the show felt very much like quick-cut, pushy commercial radio and not like NPR. The tone was just off. (Sqeaky toy noises? Beeping noises for news clips? Banter?) I suggest looking at various CBC Radio programs (such at Metro Morning in Toronto) for inspiration on how to do a public radio drive-time morning show that successfully combines intellectual news with a personable, live host."by Dave NYC, April 28, 06:11PM
