TALKSHOW: KQED radio announced a few days ago that due to lack of
funding, it was canceling its "Perspectives" commentaries. Next
morning, Doug Edwards was checking the call-in tape for listener
reaction and came across this from a women on her car phone: "My
name is Julia. Longtime listener. I'm very upset that you're canceling
'Perspectives' and I'm considering canceling my support. Please
reinstate --," followed by the sound of squealing brakes, a crash,
shattering glass, and Julia yelling "Oh s---, you've made me so mad
I just rear-ended the f---er in front of me. Have to go now." Click.
Poor Julia. Funds were restored, and "Perspectives" is back on the air.
[KQED is a listener supported public radio station.]
