Just muddling through.
Ya think? If our local public radio station wasn't terrific, I would never give you another dime. You lost the plot and still lost your government funding. Why not go back to actual journalism?

WHY? WHY? No one wants to hear from this tool
EVER again. His opinion adds nothing of value. Inskeep is officially a podcast bro and should move out of the way for someone who still cares about journalism.

I was at a school board vision session and in a small group that was all teachers. We were supposed to be determining what we thought the district's core values and before anyone said one thing, all 5 of them asked ChatGPT what a core value might be.

Did Bart Simpson suggest this name?

Also I hate that these guys are trying so hard to put the NYT Pitchbot out of a job.

Maybe, just maybe, this would have been one to shelve the morning after he invaded another country and kidnapped its president.

Dear @npr.org , please knock it off. You already lost all your funding and stealing the NYT pitchbot's job won't make it any better.

I loved this. Thank you for doing it!

Maxwell is great. The last time he had a resurgence, I was working for the late, great Borders Books and we all read him.

Would love to order, but apparently you can't ship to Michigan? At least that's the error I got and no reply to my inquiry so that's that, I guess.

We do this all the time. Aldi once had this exquisite Cinnamon Roll granola and it made oatmeal magical.

This is a great idea! The only thing you might want to check is how comfortable the watch itself is for her. My MIL realized after the fact that she didn't like having to have it so tight to her wrist (for the contact points to work).

Thank you for this! I live in Dryden, MI, which is rather bizarrely named after Dryden the poet. It's a town that was literally in the middle of nowhere at its founding and still is small & rural (town has an intersection small). I knew next to nothing about him this morning but now know more!

Ohemgee have you never seen Muriel's Wedding???

I know, right? I just watched this one the other day and totally did a double take!

He really is going to shrivel up into Gollum, isn't he?

"Unusual" is a choice. They have already stripped all your funding. Why do you continue to cower in the corner, thus alienating the folks who actually do fund you i.e. listeners?

This movie is so terrific. And I love that Rian Johnson has some of the props in Knives Out.

And this is a surprise because...?
December 11, 2025 at 11:50 AM
I would so love to order. In fact, I keep trying. But your website refuses to ship to me. In a perfectly reasonable part of Michigan.

Why don't you just ga ahead and give pitchbot a bonus, because that's clearly where you are getting your inspiration these days.
