Burkethead: It's Minnesota.

The only way NPR is particularly liberal nowdays is that sometimes the people on "Marketplace" have a vaguely disdainful tone when referring to corporate greed.

Furthermore, being the detail-monger I am (I'm not sure how I even know this, I'm not a rabid NPR fan or anything): it's Michael Feldman, it's Click and Clack, and it's Lake Wobegon. No e.

If you were joking, I just embarassed myself badly. Ah well.

The nerdy guy with the high voice is Ira Glass, (incidentally cousin of Phillip Glass), host of "This American Life." If anyone needs any more nitpicky trivia about anything, NPR included, feel free to ask. :)

Am I the only one who had never listened to NPR? I dont even know how to....but I think I should find out. Is it any good?

It could always be worse, with Bill O'Reilly and his farking "No Spin Zone" on the Fox news channel - gods, I hate him. His only positive point is that he likes being hated so much. If you care: http://www.foxnews.com/oreilly/

Buckethead, yes, but there is a dark side to NPR. Namely, Diane Rheemes (sp?).

I have NPR on most of the time in my car, except 9am, when her evil voice penetrates the airwaves like a cosmic fingernail on the chalkboard of the universe.

It's even worse if you're hung over a little. She induces vomiting.

I've listened to her show a few times (past the first 10 seconds) when she's been gone and has a guest host, and it appears she has interesting guests.

Second in line is that Mary McParland. Great music (piano jazz), but again that voice... *shudder*

Everyone should click on the link to their online store and prove that the deep-linkaphobes are full of shiat and just crybabies who need something to complain about 'cause everything is going too well in their lives.
