It is getting a little tiresome. The programming has changed substantially. But you got to give us a break sometimes. I really enjoy it. Often I listen to both weekend broadcasts, the one on Saturday and the one on Sunday. Please reconsider. Is NPR seriously trying to shoot itself in the foot? What demographic supports public radio do we think?
Hold tight — A Way With Words may be next to go! Excellent writing keeps programs evergreen but I fear we are heading to an era of the deciduous. Thank you Ms. Hubbard for your contribution here. Sincerely, K. Please please please offer seasons for sale. I want to keep listening, as I do with Car Talk. Thank you, Richard, Laura, Ben and all cast members for years of joy and education.
I completely agree with ADeweyan. Most of my favorite shows have gone away. I was privileged to attend 4 broadcasts in my area. The last was in Utica NY. I always loved seeing everyone in person. I will treasure those memories as I sit back and listen to whatever comes my way, be it fairly current 0r dusted off.
I felt that I knew you not just as panelists but old friends. Thanks to you all for a great run. Guess they were afraid of offending any Martians who might be listening…. When I first met Richard I was descending from a balcony and missed a step. I claim I prostrated myself at his feet. He looked down at me and said Mr. Jonsson I presume. But more importantly, convince NPR and its stations to keep airing it. Broken hearted. Gawd forbid Fresh Air or SciFri are next!. I will request my donation back.
Dreadful decision. The ring tone? Too aggressive and overbearing. This is very sad and leaves way too many steadfast NPR supporters without the kind of programming they enjoy. I agree with many of those who have posted that this show has been a main stay in my Saturday evening routine. My schedule revolved around this show and I tried to attend every time they were in Seattle. Sunday mornings at 8 was the time slot in my area, the ideal companion to a cinnamon roll and a cup of coffee.
I was surprised to discover how very sad I was upon hearing the news. I have been crestfallen since. Or, did it originate in Middle Ages in Europe, to describe the practice of removing the crest of defeated royal families from a castle or fort.
But 10 points to the commenters who can resist the reflexive impulse to upbraid younger generations and be magnanimous instead. If public radio is an important institution to you, then remember your public radio station in your estate planning. Perhaps remember that tastes change. I heard all about it on NPR. There is too much sadness in news of the demise of Says You. Says Adieu! We need that blend now more than ever in our lives. RIP Arnie. Thanks for the pleasure of your company all these years.
You will be much missed. I am so sad about this! This show celebrated all that is language, literature, word derivations and meanings, history, geography, science, theater and even sports. All this was handled with witty humor!! It was wonderful to hear incredibly intelligent people quote poetry and prose, share stories and answer questions faster than many of us could process the question! This is a huge loss for Public Radio! Your email address will not be published. Notify me of follow-up comments by email.
