    I felt compelled to respond to comment on this topic as I have had this discussion or argument with friends over the years. There is a definite skewed perspective on this topic if you are from Detroit so I felt mentioning that had merit. I have lived in the Detroit Metropolitan area for the last 10 years and have always noticed the radio tag lines that call out "without the rap" as their identity.

     

    I get the fact that someone would like pop without rap. It's a simple preference and I don't feel that that is overtly racist. This programming choice pales in comparison on the racism scale to how other local stations program their music. In specific, although 96.3 (Detroit Pop) claims to have no rap or anything overtly urban, the local alternative rock channel will play along with their traditional alternative rock tunes, rap songs by white artists inlduing eminem, beastie boys, or any other white rap artist. That in my eyes is certainly racist.

     

    I have had this discussion directly with friends who work at these radio stationd and called out racism. It is hard for them to admit and use the word racist because how powersul that word.

     

    Verdict -

    No Rap - Not Racist

    All White Music including only white hip hop- Racist

    I have listened to almost all of the episodes and this was one of the best ever. Best Moment: The outgoing cue of what am I thinking. I had to re-listen twice just to see how everything completely deteriorated. TWO HONORARIUMS!!!! I was crying from laughter. My entire week is set now. ALSO..... The analyze Phish episode was amazing. completely amazing. I haven't heard anything so inivative since Marc Maron visited the creationism museum.

     

    Thanks again!!

    Great Thread Idea! I'm not going to put these in stone but here are some highlights for me.
    1. Paul Giamatti's appearance with Reggie Watts. I may have never laughed so hard. And he explodes.
    2. ICE-T and Jesse Ventura's together explaining their friendship.
    3. Andy Daly's Limericks and the sixth sense spoliers.
    4. Brett Gelman's Ibrain, getting banned and the subsequent injustice for all.
    5. John Hamm and El Chupacabra.
