National Public Radio (NPR)

I've made a habit of listening to Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me. It's consistantly witty, and I usually learn a few tidbits of news that I hadn't heard before. The Balt/Wash area has several different NPR stations to choose from, so chances are, if NPR has a program, one of the stations around here carries it.

I actually did a summer internship at WAMU (American University in DC). I wrote and voiced on-air some of the local news pieces that aired during All Things Considered and Morning Edition. Before that, I'd never heard of NPR, but honestly, that's my dream job.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

It all depends on which station you listen to as to what music you'll get. If you hear any music on WAMU, it's probably bluegrass, which I can't stand. WETA got some flack recently for dropping the classical music they played during the day and switching to an all news format.

That does remind me that I used to like to listen to the Thistle and Shamrock. Celtic music is cool, but I never think to turn it on anymore.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
