All this talk about how we can get NPR programming on a smart phone, or via podcast, or via satellite radio, or webcast, etc. misses the main point: WABE’s on-air programming is incredibly lame for the size market we are in.

It all comes down to WABE’s programming director, Lois Reitzes. This article from Creative Loafing ( http://clatl.com/atlanta/bach-off-you-npr-scum/Content?oid=1244542 ) is five years old, but nothing has changed with regard to the politics, the ongoing struggle between Georgia Public Radio and WABE, and how so much of your pledge dollars go to prop up WPBA Channel 30.

Bottom line: as long as Lois Reitzes is in charge, WABE will remain lame.

I have had a wonderful time skiing in the Belgian Alps. Those Tudor lodges are so scenic!

Also depends on whether the podcast is downloaded prior to roaming around or if you are streaming it.
