203: Slaughterhouse Blues
NPR Commercialism and Listener Support Realities
The hosts criticize NPR for running commercial advertisements, including a "Go-To-Meeting" spot with a promotional code, despite claiming to be listener-supported. They contrast this with the No Agenda model, which relies entirely on direct contributions without corporate underwriting. The segment serves as a plea for listeners to commit to the $5 monthly donation plan.
