NPR

I was listening to this story today, about the word "retard" and it made me think of you guys.

I also noticed there wasn't a tread about NPR and was curious how many of you retards listen to it on a regular basis.

i often listen to NPR while building circuits or stuck in traffic -- otherwise i can't focus on it

i used to listen to "all things considered" a lot at work and on my drive home, but stopped right around when obama got elected

i usually listen during the work day if i'm not in the mood for music and work isn't too brain intensive.

its my US equivalent of radio 2 without terry wogan or music

and on the weekends for cartalk but switch off right before prairie home companion

FUCK THE PLEDGE DRIVE

I usually listen on the ride to work and download podcasts of 'This American Life' occasionally.

guy who's house I stay at has it on in the kitchen 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Even at night when no one is even around. *shrugs*

He's old (62) but has great taste in moosics...

When I was a little kid (like 7-8) I grew up listening to Hearts of Space every sunday night on NPR. Back then I didn't even know what to call electronic music, it was simply 'space music' to me back then. Fantastic show, its probably what rooted my interest in the genre long before I had any idea. Well worth checking out, Stephen Hill's play lists are incredible. I think most of them are archived too online, http://www.hos.com/.

I love npr and charlie rose. Im boring

I think it's pretty much gone to shit these days. Too much new-agey crapoo. They played some Vangelis the other week though, and an ambient-ish buckethead tune so that was cool.

Thats a shame, I admit its been several years since I've even thought about listening in. I just remember how much I loved 'space music' when I'd play with my action figures on sunday evenings as a kid, only to rediscover Eno and Glass and all the other artists he'd play like a lost piece of my childhood nearly a decade later.

but i don't check every week so perhaps I just get the off themes that I don't care to explore.

I remember riding in a car listening to npr with my friends and when a song off of SAWII came up my buds were like "LOL IT'S APHEX"

your breast friends?

I don't know shit about NPR but I do know that campaigns to get words bleeped are infuriating!

There's few things more jarring than watching a tv show and hearing bleeping as if it's making my ears safer. Fucking retards.

I listen to whatever I can catch, including:

- Sound Opinions

- Sunday Edition Puzzle with Puzzlemaster Will Shortz w00t!

- Wait Wait Don't Tell Me (saw it taped live once, lol'd)

- Car Talk

- This American Life

- Eight Forty-Eight

- The Story

- All Songs Considered

I'm a white man. *hi-fives*

I'm a big NPR fan - listen to Morning Edition every morning on the way to work, and All Things Considered on the way home. On the weekends, I try and catch Car Talk and Wait Wait Don't Tell Me, Says You, This American Life, and others.

It's actually the one reason I don't get an iPod and still have a shitty 256MB Samsung MP3 player - it has a built in FM tuner so I can listen to NPR. Fuck having to buy an addon for the iPod just to get radio.

i listen a lot.

i don't like the comedy shows. like wait wait don't tell me. kinda painful. then again BBC radio 2 was awful comedy too

i thought this was about neurolinguistic programming

you down wit' NLP ?

I like wait wait, whaddaya know is fucking garbage tho. no one even laughs at the fucking host. and isn't it like 2hrs long?! wtf?!

On The Media is the best radio program in history.
