Alrighty then.

It's been almost a full year since I pledged to WBEZ in protest (see  
below.)

Well, WUNC added Sound Opinions a few months back, and even though it  
never seems like I'm at a radio at 2 or 3 o'clock on a Saturday to  
listen (thank god for TiVo podcaster) I'd like to think I'm a man of  
my word.

This coming pledge drive, I switch my allegiance back to WUNC.

Now, how about moving "how splendid was my table" to that Saturday  
afternoon blind spot and scheduling Sound Opinions at Sunday noon?  
Them yuppie "lifestyle awareness" types probably don't have to work  
shit retail jobs on Saturday, whereas a foodie Sunday is already  
spent auto-eroticizing over leather-bound copies of "Cook's Illustrated"

Rock and roll deserves the Lord's day. You know it.

> frequently illuminating and entertaining that it is perplexingly  
> INSANE that you have not added this one hour weekly show in NC

> shifting indie rock and pop, yet we are hearing multiple repeats of  
> many programs. (Not to mention even subjecting the triangle to ONE  
> hour of that inane yuppie gibberish "How Splendid Was My Table.")

> If you add Sound Opinions, I will finally break down and become a  
> member, despite the serious ill will WUNC inspired in my household  
> when you spinelessly censored Ipas "reproductive rights" mission

> Adding Sound Opinions would be a strong statement that you are not
