Apparently this story pissed off a lot of people who heard it on Only a Game. I wanted it to be, er, tongue in cheek. What do you think? Listen below.

My Last Story on Weekend America

Boo-hoo.

It was a nice run and I'm glad to have been a part of it. Here now, I bring you the last piece I produced. It's about my in-laws first visit to America.

Thanks Weekend America.

The Last Weekend America

This Saturday is Weekend America's last broadcast. This makes me very upset for a number of reasons, but mostly because many bright, talented producers and editors will be forced to live on the street in St. Paul, Minnesota, where it's currently 1 degree F. The cold, barren Twin Cities are no place for good, honest radio people to live, so if you've got an extra room and you see what looks to be a snowman wearing headphones and a shotgun mic roaming through your town, open your door and invite them in. I guarantee he or she will be a great conversationalist.

While I'm on the subject of barren public radio things, I need to say this. If you subscribe to the This American Life podcast, and you have some coin, send it to Ira Glass and company. According to Glass, 400,000 people download TAL every week and that costs WBEZ around $150k a year in bandwidth alone. Apparently only 20,000 people contribute directly to TAL, which is pretty sad when all he's asking for is a dollar.

I know, I know, you contribute to your local radio station (or do you?) and you don't feel as though you need to give any more money to TAL, because they have a TV show on Showtime. But that's lame and you know it. Last week I coughed up $20 and, you know what, I feel richer for it, not poorer. Unless of course I get fired from my job, in which case I'll want at least $3 back.

At a time when more and more longform mass media is vanishing, it's our responsibility as concerned citizens to help them survive this, um, clusterfuck.

Inauguration Flub

Those of us who aren't familiar with the oath, thought Mr. Obama flubbed his oath earlier today, a brief crack in his otherwise flawless character. But upon further review it was Chief Justice Roberts who slipped up with his misplaced "faithfully." Note Obama's inquisitive look, like "did I just hear what I thought I heard?"

What West Coast Golden Globe Viewers Missed

During last night's Golden Globe awards, TV's on the West Coast were temporarily "darkened" during Mickey Rourke's Best Actor acceptance speech. I haven't seen that since I was in China and the government censored the Hong Kong news (with a short clip of Chinese flag-waving propaganda--a must see, really). What could Randy "the Ram" possibly have said? See below:
