how to listen to talk radio

my parents used to listen to talk radio all the time. it was the worst stuff in the world. i hated it even as a child. i hate it still. i hate the cadence. i hate the content. i hate the stupid selfsatified mic jockeys who make a living doing what exactly? talking?

there is enough talking in the world already. shut up for a while.

i say this of course while mining a rich vein of irony: i listen to podcasts allthetime. but i will say that with podcasts you are not simply being served whatever slop the cfrb 1010 talk radio owner[s] [old white men all] decide you should hear.

i listen to podcasts that go into the academic study of the bible [yes that one] among other less savoury subject. and yes i almost wrote "delve" there before remembering i'm not a large language model but instead a meatsack who refuses to play by their linguistic rules.

i do this for free by the way. you're welcome. all one of you [who is also me].
