The demo from Irrational Public Radio holds up a mirror to those of us working in the wonderful wacky word of public radio and allows us the pleasure of self-deprecation. The clips were well produced and reminded me of vignettes from "Saturday Night Live." I'm glad there are those of us out there who still have a sense of humor! Keep up the good work.

...would be wonderfully "irritational" and "irreverential" on some stations that could use a little caffeine in their line-up, even if only at fundraising time as a "wake up and smell the coffee" inducement.
...in line with Shearer's Le Show spoofs, so stations that have picked up Harry should conceivably consider IPR.
...definitely worth exploring further as full length.
...Irrational Purple Radio anyone? ;-)
No, it's not TAL-esque at all. Just kidding! But it probably soon will be, and in a best case scenario, on a station near you. A spoof of public radio has endless possibilities. While some of the material is alittle self conscious and gross (acne medine for cat migraines? wait I think I'm getting a cat migrane), alot of it is downright surreal and funny. I think they need to lean into the mic's alittle more, think into those *Men Who Bake Bread And Are Not Ashamed* voices and *Women Who Are Practical Enough to Leave Their Men Alone With the Kids" voices, then toss it all off and away slightly and they've got it!
