So I was clicking around on the always excellent Gawker today, and noticed an oldish post from them dissing David Broder for writing about how he only listens to Morning Edition. A little further down in the comments section, I saw this gem from someone with the handle bacon-yum:
I love the judgment inherent in saying that he only listens to NPR, not like those low-life plebians who listened to Imus. I have NPR set on my alarm clock, because the grating, fuzzy-wuzzy, overly-earnest tone of it makes me snap awake with a shudder of revulsion. I grew up in an NPR house, that s*** makes my skin crawl. F****** Morning Edition, f****** Prarie Home Companion, f****** Fresh Air, f****** All Things Considered, hate, hate, hate. Sorry, the mere mention sets me off. Don't even get me started on WBAI.

Yikers. bacon-yum be haaaaating the NPR.
That's okay, though, the bacon-yums of the world are precisely the folks who we are trying to reach with this new show. As soon as I can figure out how to email him / her (for some reason I just assume that someone with bacon-yum as their nickname is a dude, but I could be totally wrong) we are going to try to start up a little dialogue. What do you guys think?
