I really think that if the manager said this, then there would be major ructions. Can you point to what he said exactly? It would be a scandal if this is what he really said.

Can you point to what he said exactly? I was in the car, listening because they were going on about Jean Ferraca - whom I really dig. And it did catch me out as something extraordinary, but not unexpected, for WPR. I started to write it down when I got to my desk and thought 'whatever'. Joy Cardin show for 3/12/2012, show number 120312C. I'll download and give it a re-listen, reply here. Listening twice to Cardin - the things I do for integrity.

I suck - meant to add this last week. The things I do ... Joy Cardin Show Dir WPR Mike Crane after 27:48 Greg in Stevens Point "I get tired of the political talk in the first two segments (tl:dl - he doesn't like politics, would donate, would like the morning programs to be more like the mid-day one, with gardening, home handy tips and various other stuff) "It's just listening to college teachers with an opinion .. it never ends .. been going on for three, four, five years however long it's been." Mike WPR Director "Bascially starting with the election two years ago now that there just seemed to be a lot more politics to talk about. that we had a significant change in governance that I think has caused a lot of people to be curious about it maybe we'll find after this next election that things will shift a different way and there will be other things to talk about." The second comment was rich. Greg complained about diversity - race issues. "Only one person of color." Mike:(paraphrase) We have a Latina, too. And we're working on some other stuff. The 'person of color' is the (imho) best guy _on_ WPR, Jonathan Overby. His 'Higher Ground' used to be a really entertaining live show with an audiance, live music. A few years ago they cut it back to Overby playing records. I miss the way it used to be. http://wpr.org/higherground/ http://wpr.org/higherground/ Now, Crane's comments can be seen as innocuous. And, maybe, he really did mean them that way. But it's funny that the swing to 'talk about politics' didn't happen until after Walker (R) was elected. And that he said it would swing right back if he was voted out.
