So curiosity got the best of me and I listened to Rodericks' show yesterday and what I coudl stand of it today. Its all powderpuff, no real content. YPR isn't really pushing it either; only this AM did they have a mention of what is coming up, but no definitive schedule. I really feel like there is a hole in local/community issue coverage and debate. I tried litening to Ed Norris some and while I appreciate some of his common sense views, his show has it's own slant and vibe to it and between that and the constant hawking of goods and services, I'm not really into it. Basically I just really disheartened by the firing of Steiner, the turn of YPR, the bland commercial infotainment and lack of civil debate or informative discourse in our general media not only here in Baltimore but nationwide. I hope Brandon (or whoever is behind this) gets some type of repercussion from it because the new status quo is devoid of any value whatsoever. I've had better conversations at work or on a barstool than I hear on Baltimore radio these days.
