The Takeaway
Hey, check out John Hockenberry’s new show on NPR, The Takeaway. If you’ve been a fan of uh, listener to, Morning Edition and gotten tired of hearing about the plight of the bubble bee in Mongolia or appeals to ride your bicycle to work in the middle of winter, you’ll find the new show refreshingly-unNPR.
The fact that The Takeaway took Grand Theft Auto 4 seriously, and that they put a post by my son, Gabriel, about the game on the front of their busy site, has nothing to do with my recommendation.
If you like the show, post a positive comment, or vote mine up.

Hey, various NPR audience members are voting down my comments on the Takeaway site. If you don’t want a bunch of old fogies killing a great new radio show, with a definite new media outlook, vote my comment up. Or post your own positive comment.

Can’t help you out, here. This show is a train wreck and should be pulled from the air. What an embarrassment for PRI!

Actually I think PRI’s pretty proud of it. And I’m a big fan too.
