Listening to Shock Jocks

I like listening to the radio on my morning commute¹ each day. This morning, though, my favorite DJs weren’t on the air.

…………

Howard: Do you know what happened to the Kelvin and Ben show this morning?

Robin²: Kelvin and Ben are both on suspension. The FCC fined the radio station. Apparently³, Kelvin and Ben said some things on the air two weeks ago that the FCC found objectionable.

Howard: That’s crazy! Kelvin and Ben are shock jocks. They’re supposed to say things that are provocative⁴. They work in a big market producing a morning show with a lot of competition. They have to push the envelope.

Robin: That may be true, but the FCC said that they went too far. On Mother’s Day, they invited several mothers to be in-studio guests for a segment. They cursed them, said sexually explicit⁵ things, and called them obscene names.

Howard: They did that?!

Robin: I guess you weren’t listening that morning.

Howard: No, I wasn’t. Now I’m truly shocked!

Script by Dr. Lucy Tse
