Get To The Point!

In our broadcast media dominated world, blah blah blah seems to be the behavior of choice now.  Since I do not have radio, a newspaper or for heaven's sakes, television service by design, I don't hear too much of that.  On occasion, when their might be a topic of interest, I will into a radio talk show. 

I wish there were a more gentle way to say this.  Here goes.  The blah, blah, blah of these 'amateurs' puts me to sleep.  It is the continual non-sense of whatever they are blah, blah, blahing about that tunes me out.  It is almost as bad as the mainstream television networks.  Almost.

Most recently, I decided to try a talk show dealing with the paranormal, ufo's and things of that ilk.  The host talked for well nigh thirty minutes about nothing that make any sense to the non-flatliner.  Thinking they would surely speak to the subject at hand, I waited.  And waited. 

Getting up a few times to wash dishes and prepare for the next day didn't help too much.  It did complete a couple of house chores.  It did not distract me enough to allow me to continue listening to the talk show. 

Even worse the guest had no clue how to talk.  After another fifteen minutes, I realized I had not heard one single thing.  Now in the paranormal community, it tends to be among some that, "I know something you don't."  It isn't shared like an aha moment.  Or an eiphany.  It strikes of serious ego and totally turns me off.  

But this isn't the worst of it.  Please listen on. 

It is a sad commentary on the listening audience, who apparently have such dull lives that they will sit with numb bottoms to listen to that crapola.  This writer, well, just can't.  I can't understand the ego it takes to occupy air space with dead chatter.  Surely, someone must put the broadcaster out of their misery but telling them the sad news.  They are dull as dishwater!

I realize sometimes the host pays for air space.  Pays so that the unfortunate can hear them breathe.  Perhaps in some odd way, they validate themselves.  Or pay to their sad egos.

If you want an audience with a pulse, I strongly suggest to these radio stations that they stimulate the listener.  Tell the complete story from the get go.  And please.
