Morning Radio Shows
Why do morning radio shows only come in 2 flavors: boring and awful? Sometimes I listen to the boring shows, and they start to annoy me really fast because the hosts have the most stupid banter with each other, and with callers, and they never say anything interesting or funny. They trip over each other with their sucking-up laughter, and their pointing out the obvious. So dumb. So I get bored and switch to one of the other types of shows. They never use the word "woman" when "bitch" or "slut" or "chick" will do. I live in the Bay Area, which is overwhelmingly liberal, so of course the morning talk show people have to say antagonizing things so that people will call in to either be indignant (and entertaining) or even worse (and entertaining). I don't find this entertaining. I find it trollish. So then I switch back to the other show, the boring one, and remember why I don't listen to it anymore. The whole thing is terrible. I like Morning Edition on NPR, but it goes off usually while I'm in the car on the way to work, followed by Fresh Air, which I don't really like. There are no good solutions.
