the end of The Religion Report

ABC Radio National's Religion Report host Stephen Crittenden disappeared from the show/podcast a couple of months ago, and although the quality of the show went down I just figured Crittenden was on vacation or something. Turns out I was wrong.

ABC Radio National announced that it was dropping The Religion Report, Crittenden blasted them on air, and last I heard he had been suspended.

Here are the links:

• The Thinker's Podium: The Religion Report's Stephen Crittenden suspended by the ABC
• Tim Blair: Your ABC, Like It Or Not
• ABC Radio National: The Religion Report
• Media Diary: Religion Report Goes to God
  

I for one am going to miss Crittenden; I wish we had someone like him on say National Public Radio here in the States. This is a great loss, unlike (say) Street Stories. I can only assume that The Night Air will vanish this time next year.
