Man, I gotta love NPR! Especially when you're traveling; it's so much more stimulating to listen to than mindless deejay drivel and the crash'n'bash that passes for most FM stations.
Who out there is an NPR fan? What are your favorite programs/features? I got a kick out of "Motley Fools" today...a pretty hip program that brings finance and investing *down to earth* and discusses those topics in a zany, non-boring way. I also love the biographies NPR puts on. If you've never tried NPR, you can generally find member stations around the 87.9 to 90.9 range on the FM dial, or you can search for a station in your area at http://www.npr.org/ . Cheers, -Sazerac

Yes, Caleb, it's talk radio...serious talk radio, not "Howard Stern" or any other such drivel. It's pretty middle of the road though; neither left nor right.
I imagine the Buzz would be a fun one to listen to as well! [img]smile.gif[/img] Cheers, -Saz

Thanks Saz, I've never listened to it before, looks like my station is at 90 FM as well. Shoot I didn't even think there WAS anything on air that far down the dial LOL! Have to check it out Monday on my way to work! [img]smile.gif[/img]

Well I don't get NPR but I do listen to WMAL here in the DC area, which is talk radio, of course it carries such favorites as Rush Limbaugh, Dr. Laura, and Michael Reagan [img]smile.gif[/img] but I usually don't here those people, since Im at work when they are on. Aside from those three it is a fairly middle of the road station.

talk radio and a little classic rock is all that i ever listen to when i'm in the car. michael medved, dennis prager, olie north, limbaugh, michael savage, hue hewwit, laura engraham, and mike gallager to name a few.
i rarely listen to npr unless it is prarie home companion or the weakly radio address by the president.

Ya gotta love NPR
Car talk, home companion, You Don't say I love NPR. I also contribute to it. I also watch a great deal of PBS. khazadman I am not sure what meant but not being middle of the road and then taking about tax dollars. They do not seem to be connected
