On the radio, though possibly encased in ice

Assuming today’s forecasted thundersnowsleethail doesn’t wipe out the electrical or cellphone grid, I’ll be on Wisconsin Public Radio’s Joy Cardin Week in Review segment Friday at 8 a.m.

Wisconsin Public Radio’s Ideas Network can be heard on WHA (970 AM) in Madison, WLBL (930 AM) in Auburndale, WHID (88.1 FM) in Green Bay, WHWC (88.3 FM) in Menomonie, WRFW (88.7 FM) in River Falls, WEPS (88.9 FM) in Elgin, Ill., WHAA (89.1 FM) in Adams, WHBM (90.3 FM) in Park Falls, WHLA (90.3 FM) in La Crosse, WRST (90.3 FM) in Oshkosh, WHAD (90.7 FM) in Delafield, W215AQ (90.9 FM) in Middleton, KUWS (91.3 FM) in Superior, WHHI (91.3 FM) in Highland, WSHS (91.7 FM) in Sheboygan, WHDI (91.9 FM) in Sister Bay, WLBL (91.9 FM) in Wausau, W275AF (102.9 FM) in Ashland, W300BM (107.9 FM) in Madison, and of course online at www.wpr.org.

Tied to that, I suppose, is yet another Newscastic list of what we journalists supposedly love — public radio:

True Fact – nearly half of all story pitches came from a journalist listening to NPR.

We’re news addicts.

We’re addicted to news. When we’re not at our desks or looking at our phones for the latest news, we tune into our local public radio station to get the headlines. …

Because every journalist has a crush on Ira Glass.

Because this is our favorite game show.

Jeopardy! is a close second. …

Who doesn’t want an NPR tote bag?

Well, we don’t ALWAYS listen to NPR.

Hey, we’re journalists (a.k.a. broke).

Those smoothing NPR host voices
