Today’s Run: \u00a055 min lifting at the “Y”<\/p>\n

We enjoy listening to Public Radio. \u00a0Or at least we used to. \u00a0We are finding that the list of favorite shows is dwindling. \u00a0We used to be huge “A\u00a0Prairie Home Companion” fans. \u00a0That is until the M.C. got up on a soap box about his political stance.<\/p>\n

Our next favorite show was “The Story”. \u00a0It was enjoyable. \u00a0They interviewed “real people”, had a great format~a nice program. \u00a0The only problem with that was the time of day. \u00a0It was late evening. \u00a0 Then they changed the format and we quit listening to it.<\/p>\n

There was always Terry Gross with “Fresh Air” and Tom Ashbrook with “On Point” but those shows are a little bent and you have to be in a certain frame of mind to listen to them. \u00a0You simply cannot take those shows seriously or you will get angry. \u00a0And, they were on late at night.<\/p>\n

Our locally produced shows are pretty good! \u00a0We listen to them often. \u00a0Mississippi Public Radio does a very good job producing morning shows for the 9:00 a.m. time slot. \u00a0 On Monday’s they have the show “Relatively Speaking” which is a mental health(ish) type of call in show. \u00a0On Tuesday’s they produce “Money Talks” which is a financial show (and totally depressing because they keep saying to “SAVE!”). \u00a0Wednesday’s is “Southern Remedy”. \u00a0This is another call in medical show. \u00a0Thursday is the local favorite, Creature comforts. \u00a0A call in show about pet health. \u00a0And Friday is “The Gestalt Gardener”, a horticultural show. \u00a0These are all well produced shows.<\/p>\n

Why cannot the rest of Public Radio have quality shows like this?<\/p>\n

As far as Nationally syndicated shows, the only one left that we listen to is “Whad’ya Know?” \u00a0The show beings with the M.C. asking that question…”Whad’ya Know?”, to which everyone in the audience replies…”Not Much! You?” and the show proceeds from there. \u00a0It is light and entertaining. \u00a0Seeing as the show is produced in Madison, Wisconsin, the politics lean a little to the left and sometimes leave us wincing a bit but it is all clean fun.<\/p>\n
