I just wasted ten minutes of my life listening to two pompous asses mentally masterbate on air.
This is an example of the kind of minuscule peek behind the curtain mental workings of nerdom that gives NPR a bad name.
No body cares and it makes absolutely no difference what word these wannabe wordsmiths honing their vocabulary skills to find a term to name people who don't believe in climate change use.
They spent ten minutes on people who over think problems that aren't problems.
Thanks NPR.
I enjoy On the Media, but hey sometimes you can't always hit a home run.
They really didn't even get on base this week.
Speaking of baseball, Go Cubs!

Physical- It happened in a recording booth and over the air.
Psychological- The emotions for me were: pissed, bored and confused.
Social- I think NPR is an excellent outlet for information. However when they can't find any other content and as a viewer I know they're just filling space, it leaves me feeling dissatisfied.
Cultural- The language of Bob and his guest we're really pointless for me this week. Again, I really love NPR but sometimes they just don't do it for me.
Temporal- This happened over the air, which I'm surprised even got aired. They were speaking about climate change because the Pope believes we need to take responsibility for our carbon foot print.
I know my blog is awfully short this week, I had a hard time finding joy in anything I listened to.
Hannah, I can relate to you so much because I was in the same position this week. I was struggling to comprehend with one single story and it was like they were jumping from topic to topic without transitioning. I thought the beginning of the show was a mess but by the end, especially when Brooke Gladstone returned than things started heading in the right direction but it was definitely hard to keep up with everything going on. I usually enjoy listening to NPR as well but I felt like I had to fish my way through the programs to find specific topics and issues.
