I'm noticing that Wisconsin Public Radio's "To The Best of Our Knowledge" is now taking a page from your hated WNYC "Radiolab" and integrating sound effects and music with their interviews. I'm not so sure I like this new approach, given that TTBOOK had its own style and now it sounds like they're trying to catch up or something. Plus, I think Jad Abumrad does a much better sound college than the TTBOOK folks do. As for "looseness" regarding timing and delivery, to me it's more a taste issue. However, I do admire how the KQED radio folks can manage to slip in the underwriting credits, weather forecast and program promos and get back to the NPR feed without so much as 1/3 second of silence, and never upcut them, either.
