Another hour of "Weekend Edition"

V

vchimpanzee

I hope WFAE Charlotte NC doesn't add this but I had a scare this past Sunday after I made a mistake turning back to that station. When I was hearing the previous hour of "Weekend Edition" I thought I was in the right place but somehow I was out of the room during the station IDs and Rachel Martin came on at 10:00 (Eastern) announcing what would be on during the next hour. I went in search of "Car Talk" and finally found it. It's too hard to hear the whole show most Saturdays and a couple of weeks ago WFAE and the other two NPR stations I can hear at home were doing fund-raisers on Saturday. No, podcasts are too complicated for me.

But this extra hour must surely be tempting. Unless I have been hearing that hour all along and it's not live on WUNC Chapel Hill NC.
 
Weekend Edition is fed live from 8am - 10am Eastern Time Saturday and Sundays. NPR continues to re-feed the show until 2pm Eastern Time. It is a two-hour show. No plans for a third hour. However, some stations do repeat one or both hours.

NPR does not provide podcasts of Weekend Edition, Morning Edition or All Things Considered.

KCRW News24 carries Weekend Edition from 8am - 2pm Eastern Time in full, with no local cut-aways or interruptions. Likewise it carries Morning Edition from 5am to 12noon and All Things Considered from 5pm to 11pm - the full network feed. It's available through the station website or TuneIn, IHeartRadio or Shoutcast (among others).
 
At the top of the website rundown is a link to listen to the whole show, which creates a playlist for all segments. You can also create a custom playlist by selecting individual segments to add to playlist. Unfortunately, this only works on desktops. On mobile devices, you can create streaming playlists for the whole show or custom playlists using the NPR One app. Or you can use the NPR By Date app to download the whole show or selected segments to listen away from a WiFi connection.

NPR doesn't have "podcasts" of its news shows, but it does provide full audio of the entire show on the NPR website. Here's a link to today's Weekend Edition Sunday. It's fed in segments, and you have to click on the segment you want. That's almost as good as a podcast.

If you click "listen to the full show" then it will load all the segments into NPRs media player and play them in order. I frequently listen to ATC as I'm falling asleep.

A few years later WBEZ also airs 3 hours of the show where on Sundays they they re air and start with the second hour of the show at 8 AM (central time) as they air On Being on Sunday mornings on their station in Chicago, and then air hour 1 in the 9 AM hour in which the Puzzle is heard, that is all that Public stations can do, as I am sure that they aren't going to do a third hour of the show on weekends for stations that air it for 3 hours.

The reason I started the topic was I was concerned I would have to listen to "Car Talk" this way. Which I have to do now.

And on the classic episode I'm listening to now, Ray has said the show is bad for people's mental health and other negative things, but if they didn't continue to do all this bad stuff, Scott Simon would jump at the chance to take the hour.

They haven't produced new Car Talk shows since 2012. Why are you concerned with how they are distributed in 2019?
