Because NPR > talk radio. And This American Life > anything on the AM dial.
Talk radio is boring. I don’t have any interest in listening to some douche tell me what to think about an issue while trying to sell me gold or non-hybrid seeds or aluminum siding. Besides, The only good thing to come out of left wing talk radio was Rachel Maddow, and I can see her on the teevee now.
So basically you had better things to do with your life. :) I think the success of right wing radio and it’s angry reactionary crap says more about the demographic that listens to it then about the radio itself.
