    Utterly inane show.

    The most useful swag I've ever gotten was at the recent New York Road Runners Scotland 10-K run. It rained the entire time and the swag bag included a rain poncho!

    C'mon, WNYC!!!

    I've just renewed my pledge, and I love WNYC, but I think there needs to be some self-reflection here... this economic situation is not a joke. Perhaps we need to sometimes laugh to keep from crying, but I know many people who've just been laid off, and this segment seems ridiculous.

    And, having just heard the previous blurb about how WNYC is "community-based radio", I have to wonder - how inclusive a community?

    This jokey tone leaves a bitter taste for many, I suspect.

    For most New Yorkers, this is a life-disrupting event, and I think that WNYC needs to have more serious coverage and less puffery (although, I enjoy the comic relief, too).

    How about some coverage on how things are going on the street in the poorer neighborhoods of NYC?
