Likes and dislikes
I do not enjoy the Ed Gordon show. I have started switching to WVXU at noon. I find Mr. Gordon's show to be too racial in its subject matter. I feel many of the issues do not pertain to me. Although I find some of the interviews interesting, for the most part I take offense to any program that is so racially biased. One day I was particularly turned off when there was a woman "expert" on whose main explanation for any question was, essentially, that it was God's will. That kind of programming does not provide the intellectual stimulus that I turn to public radio for.
I never thought I'd see the day that I would prefer the Tavis Smiley to any show, but I could tolerate his frequent "white folk" "black folk" comments better than the Ed Gordon show.
I am not a racist. I just prefer programming that targets a more diverse audience.
WVXU has changed their programming, and they are carrying a lot of the same programs WMUB does. I will continue to switch my dial until Ed Gordon goes away.
This is difficult for me, seeing that I am a day sponsor on WMUB. This year I am considering spliting my public radio funds between the two stations, since once I change the dial, I often stay on WVXU for the rest of the day.
However, I continue to love my Saturdays with "Car talk" and "What do you know?". Your staff is wonderful; I especially like Tana during fund raising, and Debbie Ramsey is always a pleasure to deal with. I appreciate that you cover Dayton and Cinci traffic in the morning, as my husband drives from Dayton to Cinci and back every day.
