This was definitely not chatfilter!

This was definitely not chatfilter! I am working on putting together a class about good and bad "radical" radio and want some listener opinion besides my own. Can we reinstate the question, please?

I should have written the question better. But, seriously, chatfilter?

yep. chatfilter.

I think you could have phrased that better, so that it would have had a more definite answer, as opposed to "I like this and this, what about you?". Possibly something like "I am working on putting together a class about good and bad radical audio and want some examples of excellent This American Life episodes". I think (matt, jess?) that this would have been more kosher.

If it is, and if it's cool with the admin folks, I will post it for you in a day when my next question comes up.

Okay I fixed it. Please make a little more of an effort next time.

So it's not chatfilter if you have an ulterior motive for asking the question?

If you have a problem to be solved, yeah usually it's okay.

- what's your favorite tomato sauce, I am making pasta and I want it to be just right
- what's your favorite color, I am painting a nursery and want to find the perfect shade of yellow but have no sense of color.
- what's your favorite natural toothpaste, I want my teeth to be clean and shiny but Tom's doesn't do it for me because it's too scritchy.

If you don't like Tom's, you don't deserve to have teeth, you terrible person.
