"This American Life" rocks!

I too am very disappointed by most radio, and TV too, and their 
willingness to inflame & upset people more than necessary.

OTOH, while major networks dropped kids shows like 'Magic School Bus' 
in favor of yet more disaster footage (I guess the other 50 channels' 
coverage wasn't enough), PBS kept broadcasting their regular 
childrens' shows.

Thanks to PBS, my 5 year old could keep some level of normalcy in her routine.

It is in times like these that you start to see what people (and 
networks) are made of.
