East Central Illinois

This morning the local NPR station has dedicated an hour to a program discussing cornbread. They're saying it's about quick breads, but really everyone's just talking cornbread. Right now two old guys are discussing the whole process from growing the corn to the proportions of the recipe; there was a little confusion over when the caller should have added the baking soda.

Now he's writing down a recipe for oat scones from a caller.

Ha! I loved focus 580...it's exactly the kind of thing that a local, call-in show should be.

Totally. I love the weather segment where people call in, tell the meteorologist when and where they're going, and then he gives them a forecast.

our npr station has started a p.r. campaign in which they portray the station as a vegetable (not really, but that's what springs to mind for me): "KUT--handpicked, homegrown, and locally austin". i can't stand it.

I thought vegetable as in someone unable to move, or a complete dud of a radio station.
