“I’ve been an LRC listener since I moved to LA in the late 90s. I’ve seen their show live at UCLA. But sadly, I’ve lost interest in the current iteration. The current host and panelists have great intentions, but their comraderie, push to be kindler and gentler and somewhat monotonous, predictable takes have left the show flat and without a reason for being. Maybe it’s the polarized political moment that makes the show seem less vital as it tries so hard to be a place of non-polarization. But it’s the non-polarization that also makes the show seem less like a civilized political debate and more like 3 pals having a sad beer. I’m not sure when LRC lost its edge, but I am no longer compelled by it.”
