Most embarrassing moment

It wasn't a good week for radio.

Among the more jaw dropping moments last week was the first hour of The Diane Rehm Show (NPR) on Friday, when Diane and her guests decided the thing to do was engage in a little sex talk.

Diane may be many things and play many roles but if, indeed, sex kitten is among them, we implore NPR that no one other than Diane's husband ever needs to know that.

By all that is holy, please, let no one other than her husband ever know that.


She had on three columnists and that's what happens when you have on columnists and not reporters -- sooner or later, they start working blue. Leading up to Ezra Klein was joking (we think he was joking) about visiting bondage clubs.

Diane's motto for her show is that it's where "one of her guests is always you." Maybe so but get those Hepatitis C shots before joining her these days.
