I work in interior construction since the mid 90's and I would listen to WNYC or WHYY all day everyday until Laura Walker practically destroyed the station. My wife and I now play a game when we're driving called let's put on the sad station and count down the seconds before they mention racism, illegal immigrant's problems, trans issues, feminism, and orange man bad. Less than 30 seconds is the max time. Peter Boghossian and friends did a series called All Things Reconsidered it's hilarious.

I have played a similar game: The word that wins is "Trump". Never takes long.

I started listening to NPR a lot in my car after biden was installed. Keep the enemy close and all that.

What I learned is: NPR sucks.

Defund NPR (and PBS). Do it now.

I am now listening to music on my commute drives. Don't miss NPR. Won't miss NPR.

You could probably make buzz-word bingo-like games along those lines too.
