Up First from NPR

Trump is a strong spokesman and has advertisement skills. Bribed his way back into office! Get ready for a let down America. United States of America strong! 🇺🇸

Short, information is well researched. A great way to start my day off. Thankful for the podcast. GC Really look forward to getting the Podcasts. Would prefer a more mature greeting: “Hey there .....” is more tuned to greeting horses. Have my High School students to listen and write a review for extra credit. There is HOPE for future from these insightful young people. Thanks for giving my students something to learn from besides me. Dr. GC “Hey”. I don’t appreciate the silly response opening today. Normally hosts sound professional. 7/21 reminds me of 2 immature teens. Long “Heeeey “ and attempts to answer phone was unprofessional. Almost turned off but rest of podcasts was good. Dr, GC Please stop long litany of those contributing to producing show. Boring and it is their job. Takes too long to hear list. Deleted another podcast for this issue. Hopefully you can see my message and STOP repeating whom to thank. Dr. GC Still hearing long litany of helpers. Not sure if it is necessary to daily report on people doing their job. Imagine they are paid for their work? Thanks, Dr.GC Once again like podcasts but dislike long litany of people that need thanks. Waste of time to hear all people earning money with fragile egos. Do they really have to hear their names listed? Dr. GC Tired of poor speech: Yeah, I mean, like, you know etc. Lazy speech isn’t a hood example of educated, well informed people. AP students in my high school class are encouraged to sound educated in speech and writing. Poor speech is a lazy habit and can be changed. Dr. GC Ph. D. Still dislike being addressed as “ Hey.” Doesn’t seem educated. How about Good morning? Dr. GC Really like podcast but so tired of long list of staff members who are paid getting named. Maybe once a month instead of every time. Dr. GC Would it be possible to address audience as “ hello” or “ good morning” instead of “ hey”? Sounds uneducated and disrespectful. 11/9/24 Dr. GC

I can’t believe I used to be a daily listener. And that you equated the violence against Israeli soccer fans with a slur said by them. They were stabbed and had their teeth kicked out and thrown into the canals by mobs. You also fail to mention that the attackers were Islamist immigrants. What a joke. Political correctness at the expense of a truthful picture. So shameful

Hate how ghetto the host sounds. It’s tiresome and not what I want to hear on NPR, of all places.
