Humorous, Inspiring, This American Life-esque
Ayuh. I laughed and I'm still laughing. "... be articulate and have a memory for detail... they're both gone..." The despair in the voice saying "they're both gone" was wonderful. America today. No time to do anything. Bombarded with meaningless sound bytes. I'm sorry --- was I supposed to do that for you yesterday?
Run things like this on a regular basis and people will stay tuned to your station. This is what public radio is supposed to be about. Don't be afraid to run good, short clips like this twice the same day. Remember that many people either weren't tuned in or weren't paying attention the first time. And don't underestimate the intelligence of your audience.
