Please take ASK ME ANOTHER off the air.
Your new programming on Saturdays is great, but there is one obvious exception... I find "Ask Me Another" to be forced, unfunny, unimaginative and a waist of a program slot. The witty banter and personality that makes a show like "Wait, Wait..." greater than the sum of it's parts is missing. I am a long time listener and supporter who has to turn it off if as long as this program continues.

Not an idea--a compliment on your Sat. programming (other than Ask Me Another--nonsense) keep it up and avoid Jonathon Schwartz on that day-
An affirmation of your programming idea on Saturdays. Brilliant (except for Ask Me Another---amateurish nonsense). Good to see Jonathon Schwartz gone from the line-up---he made me break the pledge---I turned it off.

Who wants to take this on: From Roosevelt to GW, the IRS "scandal" other Presidents used the IRA against the "other side"?
I don't know why the News / talk show media isn't talking up the issue that Under Presidents from Roosevelt to GW Bush the IRS has investigated Tax exempt groups. Under the GOP's "Liberals" were scrutinized, and under the Democrats, Conservatives. Isn't that the job of the IRS to look over 501c's *& NPO's? Below is a good article.

Food Day, October 24, 2013
Food Day is a national celebration and movement supporting healthy and sustainable food in our country. There are Food Day events all around the area as well as around the country. It would be great to have you cover Food Day and its mission. Issues range from sustainable farming to hunger to health to farm workers...lots to cover!

Brian Lehrer should do something on this article http://www.dailykos.com/story/2013/05/12/1208625/-911Caller-8-Police-Bludgeon-Man-To-Death-
Police brutality and their effort to hide it is an enormous abuse of power that is used all to often in this country.

Stop wall-to-wall coverage of the Boston Bombers without having anything to say.
You have had non-stop coverage -- yet you have nothing to say and merely are filling air-time. You've become a mockery of everything you claim to stand for -- and you're no better than WABC and your other low-brow competition.

Why can't you improve access to your archives by including a search box?
Why can't you provide a search box for easy access to your archives? I have all hell to pay to find a L. Lopate interview with Kevin Powers. It is too tiresome to go through the relevant list month by month to find what I'm looking for.

Title for a New York license plate
Tho I heard it a short while ago I don't remember whose show it was on; perhaps during break after Leonard's. Someone mentioned searching for a new saying to advertise N.Y. Billy Joel immediately came to mind; I can't think of anything more appropriate: ( I'm in a ) New York State of mind.
I hope this reaches the right channels. Of course if chosen it would have to be cleared by Billy Joel but how great would that be?!

Adjust the order in which BL segments are uploaded as podcasts
I enjoy listening to The Brian Lehrer Show as a podcast, through the Apple Store and Apple Podcasts app. However, I have noticed a small issue with the order in which segments are presented. Apple gives you two options when viewing "episodes" of a podcast: oldest on top, or newest on top. Because each segment is uploaded as an "episode," the last segment of the day's show is displayed on top when viewing "newest first." Because Apple's Podcasts app plays "episodes" in a top-down order continuously, the show is in effect presented in reverse order. If I adjust my settings…

Never post another Radiolab with Jonah Lehrer again
Jonah Lehrer has been severely discredited, and the fact that his voice is included over and over on RadioLab without so much as a disclaimer, and without RadioLab having covered the issue on the air, is a serious violation of what I expect from WNYC.

Ditch the "WNYC: never turn it off" campain
Please stop airing the "never turn it off" ads. Aside from the irritating self-righteousness, they make WNYC sound a bit cult-like. I honestly can't tell if it's supposed to be ironic. Never before has a WNYC campaign made me want so much to "turn it off."
