I have been a big fan of Kurt and the show for a long time. I used to love when each show had a theme and all the stories revolved around that. It was very smart, very clever. I have been away for some time and unfortunately have been missing the show. I was excited to get to hear it today. So I was very disappointed in what I've heard. It's a bunch of not very clever people who are pretty amused with themselves. It's just not funny and certainly not interesting. And pretty dumb. I hope it's just a one off, a bad day. I would be very disappointed if I had to give up on the show but today is pretty painful. To paraphrase that old line- that is an hour of my life I'll never have back.

Here's what I wish were taboo: Ignoring the subjunctive mood as in the following ungrammatical sentence, whose ungrammatical ilk was heard over and over on this weekend's show:

"I wish ignoring the subjunctive mood was taboo."

Overdressing for parties or work is a taboo I love breaking, but I wish kids running around restaurants was still taboo.

I do love to listen to Studio 360 - especially the American Icon series and your discussions of new films and books. But Kurt, could you tone down your anti-religion innuendos and not-so-subtle comments? I am thinking of your interview with David Cronenberg -"But you do like science more than religion, don't you?" (don't you? don't you? don't you?). Sometimes it seems the program is trying just so hard to trash beliefs, traditions, and what the ordinary person thinks - you sound ludicrous.
