My favorite
Listening to the credits I hear such diversity in the names of your team. Love this.
5 days a week is enough
I like the M-F show with its brief summary of usually 3 stories. If I want more I can go elsewhere. I just can’t listen on Saturday due to the unbroadcast worthy voice of Ayesha Roscoe. Hopefully she will move on soon like most of the Saturday females. Too bad because I really like Scott Simon.
NPR dares not reveal
not a single Republican voted for the Build Back Better Bill and instead of pointing that out, commentator drills home how it wasn’t as big as Democrats originally proposed. Zero accountability for Republicans’ unanimous no’s though their voters will feel the benefits.
