Was it ever? It seems substantially more popular now than it used to be 20 years ago, with them getting in on the ground floor of the podcast game and all.
unfortunately they never make it to mainstream media
Sounds like this “mainstream media” is not doing its job. This might have some kinds of implications for the current state of affairs in the USA. Can’t put my finger on exactly what though.
there have been several articles exposing plastic recycling as green washing. unfortunately they never make it to mainstream media

i saw a chart somewhere showing less than 1% of plastic in use today is recycled but I can’t find it now
Sad that NPR is not considered “mainstream” these days. Maybe Joe Rogan will post something to Facebook about it?
NPR is definitely mainstream
I think the word you’re looking for is “corporate” or “for-profit”. Thats what they’re not.
fwiw I agree, but it doesn’t appear to be considered mainstream by the guy I was replying to.
ha. i was wrong. NPR has 44 million weekly listeners. that probably qualifies as mainstream media.
I thought npr had 10 times fewer listeners than that. (fyi NPR is the only radioi listen to)

If you want to be depressed, Joe Rogan has 10 times that for single episodes.
Yes Joe Rorgan is mainstream. And for-profit trash.
