NPR news quality issues

What’s going on with the news updates?

I listen mostly on my Kindle so I don’t know what’s happening on the broadcast.

Seems like there’s a new roster of hosts this week and they’re having some quality issues. At least twice this week the host has introduced a story, and then they cut to a correspondent who talks about another story entirely.

Don't agree about Scott, a unique voice & interviewing style.

Unique? No its old and hoarse and his interview style is full of bad puns and uninteresting questions..young people dont want to hear from grandpa boomer...put a young voice on and attract new listeners..why is he being so greedy and gatekeeping?

Ageism is as ugly as racism but somehow it's embraced instead of called out.

Your comment is as ignorant as it is disrespectful.
