KQED 88.5 FM Review

I wake up in the morning, get in the car and hit FM/AM button switching from whatever CD I had playing the night before. It's always set to 88.5, KQED.

KQED has a lot going for it, especially when you consider what else is out there on the radio. I enjoy the news from NPR, and Forum, an SF-produced call-in show with good guests, is really strong as well. I love Marketplace from American Public Media at 4pm. IT's a good time for it because I leave work, hop in the car and it's on!

The shows that I most love are the weekend fare: A Prarie Home Companion, Wait, Wait, and of course, Says You!. They're all entertainment-based games adn I think they're a blast. I wish they ran some stuff liek that durign the week.

I still think that KQED is the best radio station around these parts, but pledge breaks take a star away. I can't stand them, and though I know they're what support the station, I refuse to listen to them during those weeks. I give every year, but I don't listen to them during that period.
