Something about "On Point" has always rubbed me slightly the wrong way. It seems more like a commercial radio program. The topics are more substantive, and the guests do seem insightful, but the program seems to haphazardly veer between going deep into subjects and then moving back to a very shallow view of the topic. It also seems more "shouty" for lack of a better term than many other public radio programs. I tend to agree about Tom Ashbrook.
