The show could be entertaining but admittedly ran left when politics came up; a mention of a conservative politician would draw a hiss from the audience.
It was funny but not memorable.
Never heard of it. Couldn’t care less about it.
It often ran VERY left of center. Good riddance!
Public radio has become synonymous with left wing drivel anyway, so “normal” (the new N word) people don’t bother with it except for music.
It was, along with Car Talk, the one NPR show I still enjoyed. As long as Prairie Home Companion stuck to skits, music, and Minnesota send up it was entertaining too. But Garrison Keillor is too much of an a$$hole even for me. The first two are gone now so there’s no reason to keep public radio on my dial.
Amen. I liked listening to the program but their blatant right-bashing especially during election cycles really teed me off.
I don’t think the modern Leftist is as enamored by PBS/NPR as their Hippy-dippy parents were.
Thirty years ago, PBS and NPR offered the casual socialist a daily dose of affirmation, dressed up in a haughty pretentiousness that made them feel morally superior. However, the availability of BBC programming on cable has robbed PBS of much of their high-brow through association act, and NPR’s Leftist-edginess has fallen behind the Left’s actual “marry a goat if you want to” edginess.
Of course, people living in their parents’ basement and demanding free stuff probably aren’t inclined to donate money either.
Another left wing radio show bites the dust due to lack of audience. Good riddance.
