I suppose talk radio planners will tell you they talk about what their listeners are talking about, so apparently most listeners never stop talking or thinking about school curriculums, teachers' unions, how all unions are bad (apparently listeners are not union members and if they are they hate their unions). Who Doug Ford is enriching, bike lanes, bike lanes, bike lanes.
I often have to just turn the talk stations off because -- here we go again -- is their topic for hours on end.
That's why it is refreshing when they get experts like scientist Dan Riskin or when the host will cite a story in the news and ask people if they have had a similar experience.  The other day there was a story about somebody who too dangerous risks, so the listeners were asked to call in with what sorts of risks they have taken.
Or how about discussing a good experience with the health care system instead of tearing it down.
The other day the talk show (I think it was right winger Alex Pierson), cited some report that put Canada's health care system near the bottom of a world list.
Bloody rubbish.
I can't listen when talk shows discuss Canadian health care negatively when in fact none of what they are saying matches very good experiences I have had.
