I have introduced my coworker to KEXP. To someone who has apparently only listened to the most banal clearchannel stations, the idea of actual diverse programming is apparently pretty novel :D

And was perpetrated by a man who wanted to install a Catholic theocracy as opposed to the Protestant theocracy that existed at the time

History isn't always rosy and sometimes there are no good guys.
