I find NPR very hard to take, outside of Car Talk and a few of the weekend shows, which I rarely listen to. And 99.5, for household background “elevator music”.
Yes...I go into a Hess station in N Reading sometimes late afternoons and the college-age help has All Things Considered on a portable radio, yuck.
I would guess the WCRN gig would make it hard for Graham
to fill in for Howie, unless he did a “double shift” (or got someone, who? to cover his reg one) and could do it via
a Net connection from the WCRN studios.
