On: NPR cancels 4 podcasts amid major layoffs

I had the same experience, but it was almost entirely due to the new podcasts NPR put out, and the content. Every single show has to have a chunk of time dedicated to race issues. Something like Planet Money I'm willing to just skip past, but most of them I just unsubscribed.

Yeah, NPR just got lazy. Every story is viewed through an identity lens.

I remember when Bitcoin dropped dramatically and they had a story about how it was disproportionately impacting black investors.

This perfectly encapsulates what makes NPR uninteresting.
