This probably only amuses me.

Yesterday morning I was helping to disassemble a building in Massachusetts. (Well, I was removing shingles from the building. Other, more competent people did things like removing rafters.)

I thought it would be nice to listen to something while doing this, so I brought along a portable radio and tuned it in to a local NPR station so I could listen to the morning news.

After the news, a new program came on in which various stage actors read short stories by various authors. I was not particularly attached to this, but it was something to listen to.

After a while of this, one of the other house-dismantlers came over and asked me if I minded if he changed the station. I said that was fine, and thought to myself, Well, fair enough, not everyone wants to listen to NPR all day.

So he went over to the radio and switched to a classical music station.

I'm amused

Since Seattle's and Tacoma's NPR-type public radio stations are primarily news/talk-format and news/jazz format, I'd probably be the guy to say something. Something funny. Something funny that's not coming to me right now.

Also, "Selected Shorts." Which is a fun live show if it ever comes to your town or you live in New York City, even if you happen to miss the ones where Leonard Nimoy or Jane Curtin does the reading.

i dislike talk radio. it's like trying to have a conversation with someone who won't shut up.
