Seems the station has eliminated the TED talk segment, along with the Moth Radio Hour. There seems to be a new talk segment, that may be repeated several times. However, it's mostly infomercials.
'NW would do well to consider an hour or two segment with media expert Rick Forchuk once again. His short segment with Jill Bennett in the early morning is solid, but rather lost in that time slot. There is so much more to discuss than just the weekend movie releases and Rick is on top of it all; Netflix, Shomi, CraveTV, you name it. I suspect a segment by him would light up the caller board as well.
