[lbo-talk] Broadcast News

[Michael Perelman]

I listen a lot to KPFA.  I absolutely abhor the talk show format.  First of all there 
a lot of people who call in at every opportunity to make the same point over and 
over, like some woman who called in about some judge in Oakland.  Most of the callers 
tend to be rhetorical.  The questions are rarely on the subject.
I have been fortunate, however.  For the most part, when I have been on the station, 
the questions have been quite good.  Maybe I just wasn't talking about the subjects 
that set off the callers that bother me.
