Public Broadcasting isn’t solely restricted to the television. Radio consumes public broadcasting, without the known reputation found associated with T.V. shows on PBS. Those who listen to public radio are the same who come to enjoy public television: they are sick of forced, biased, media. Over the years, many Republicans have pointed fingers at the National Public Radio for being drawn from the liberal “educated elite”. At the same time, NPR comes back to say the reason their content strays toward the more liberal front, is because conservative, “big business”, sectors are already being covered by the likes of corporate and private stations. Someone needs to cover both sides.
Swaying between both sides of the scales, Dick Gordon, a veteran of NPR, is returning after the cancellation of his show “The Connection” with a new program, “The Story”, set to broadcast nationwide soon. Dick Gordon’s new show does not preach, or protect. “The Story” “tells the tales of everyday folks”. Not politicians, CEO’s, or activists; just simple people with (sometimes) extraordinaire lives.
A seemingly nonchalant topic will come to affect all listeners. Average individuals, like you and me, become universal through story telling. For when we come to know one another, we will come to know ourselves.
