Doesn't stick to its premise

“I subscribed to this podcast after hearing about its premise on NPR. I listened to all ten episodes at once. I have got to say that it was barely similar to what was advertised and I am thoroughly unimpressed.
A lot of the stories that are supposed to take place on the same day as the more well-known events of the “days we all remember” only happen around the same time frame as the overshadowing or simultaneous event, and not on the very same day as the event. This is somewhat in conflict with the promoted premise. Unfortunately, most of those particular stories are also especially uninteresting.
They also do some of the same absolutely awful and annoying things with their audio that Radio Lab does with theirs. Luckily, the How’ Your Day advertising isn’t nearly as condescending as Radio Lab’s.
The last story is about Right Whales and how they respond to stimuli produced above the water. This is “contrasted for context” with the terrorist attacks perpetrated on 9/11/2001, but what is described in the main story directly correlates with the USA’s grounding of planes in response to those attacks. This cause and effect story is in complete conflict with what is put forward as the premise of this program. Were the producers too lazy to stick with the program’s format, or did they think we, the audience, would be too stupid to notice that they had gone of the reservation? General ineptitude is certainly another possibility.
One should also note that the revelation in the story about the Right Whales is, at best, barely worthy only of a quick mention on the local news on a very slow day.
How ironic.”
