I DIDN'T DO IT

posted by James Reel

NPR is having a rather rocky newscast right now (7:01 a.m.), with a tiny, unauthorized blast of music in the first minute and an awkward pause between news items that somehow sounded a lot longer than the one second or so it really lasted. It's hard for listeners to tell whose fault it is when something like that goes wrong, but I insist those two incidents weren't my fault! But perhaps a more important issue is, do listeners even notice little things like that, or care? Somehow, I think not.
