National Public Radio (NPR)

Spawning from discussions in the past, I wonder how many of you listen to NPR?

What is your local NPR station like? (Usually a locally-funded station with national programming sparsed with local programming and the BBC.)

Do you think its completely biased in the way it reports? (Some people call it "liberal media.") What are your favorite programs?

Have you ever given money at their fund drives?

Personally, I hold This American Life on a pedastol. I absolutely LOVE Ira Glass. The show can make pretty much ANY story interesting, and I wish there was just more of it on the radio.

I also get a kick out of Car Talk and A Prairie Home Companion.

I've given a large chunk of my change to my local station, WAMC. I can never get enough.

What do you listen to? Whats your opinion on NPR?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

My favorite programs have to be Car Talk, as well as Fresh Air and All Things Considered. Overall, a really great station, with some insightful talk, smart people, and nice jazz from time to time.

AH YES. I forgot to mention Fresh Air and All Things Considered.

Fresh Air LITERALLY hypnotizes me. I hardly pay attention to the road when I am listening, and I ALWAYS find myself sitting in the driveway, trying to catch the last bits of any stories or pieces.

I wonder if I am again one of the few who actually DOES this on GFF.

*Pulls into driveway. Parks. Sits and listens to Terry Gross for 20 more minutes in the freezing cold.*

There's nowhere I can't reach.
