Re: [Swprograms] OT: Fwd: A Groundbreaking News Program

What`s wrong with polished reports as in the NPR news magazines???

Yes, it`s conversational, and once Hockenberry interrupted to correct his co-host about something, but she corrected him right back and went right on. Is this really better radio?

I recall being more impressed with one of Hockenberry`s previous shows, ``Heat`` -- remember that? It didn`t last very long.
