WNYC Mornings - opinions?

Hey folks, this is directed to NPR/WNYC listeners...

What do you think about the new PRI show, "The Takeaway"? I can't say that I'm much of a fan; while I can appreciate that they're shooting for a younger audience, and that I even enjoy the way they do some of their coverage, I'm kind of annoyed by John Hockenberry. I don't like that he makes cracks ALL THE TIME. Doesn't matter what the story is, or who's talking, he's constantly cracking wise.

Maybe I'm just used to the "stagnant" or "staid" quality of the old guard at Morning Edition... by by the same token, it really felt like REAL journalism, and didn't smack at all of "infotainment". NPR was the last bastion of good journalism for me, and now The Takeaway makes it feel like it's fallen victim to the trend of being "informative, yet funny". It might just be John Hockenberry, if he reined it in a little it would be fine.
