Ugh. I'm doing it again.

I’d like to finish with Conan’s sign-off from Talk of the Nation, on June 27, 2013, only eight years ago:

[I]n a minute or so, I will go back to where I started in public radio. I will be one of you again, a listener. Yes, a listener-sponsor, but a listener-critic, too. I will cry and laugh and yell at the radio. And we listeners have a vital function. It is our job to hold member stations and NPR accountable.

So right here, I form my own private compact with NPR and my member stations. I will listen and, yes, I will open my checkbook, but I need some services in return. Go and tell me the stories behind everything that happened in the world today. Explain why it happened, and how it affects our lives. Do it every day. Tell me what’s important, and don’t waste my time with stupid stuff.

Bye-bye. Signing off for TALK OF THE NATION and from NPR News, I’m Neal Conan, in Washington.

NPR included these same paragraphs in its own online obituary. (I'd just posted this to Diaspora before crossposting to Mastodon.) "The message endures."
