I’m a daily listener to my local NPR station (WAMU). I can’t speak to all stations, but mine is very heavy on the racial justice/equity/reckoning programming.

One frustrating thing is that this type of programming takes precedence over all other sorts of local news. I’ve begun to tune out NPR and listen to another news radio station, a CBS affiliate, for coverage that has direct and actionable relevance to my daily life. I’m probably not the only one.

It’s not like I’m uninterested in progressive politics, either. What turns me off about NPR’s political programming lately is simply that it’s become boring, predictable, and repetitive.
