This American Life

[volvotom]

Any fans? I know it might be a little too old or intellectual for your average NSer but it's really a great show. I seriously relish the podcast coming out every Sunday.

car talk is about as deep as I get

quality show though

Love this show. Public radio rules. Like really. CBC is a Canadian treasure and Harper can suck a fat one for wanting to kill it.

Seriously bummed they're ending the show. When I was in Boston I visited the office of Dewey Cheatem and Howe. Seriously, that's what the office is really named.

When I used to work on the ambulance driving around all day I would listen to NPR it all shift. I start my morning by listening to Morning Edition.

The moth is pretty awesome too. Some of Mike Birbiglia and Dan Savage's stories really make me laugh.

This one too:

Fuck that biased noise pollution.

 

[volvotom]

You don't have to listen to it, just like I don't have to listen to Glen Beck. It's really not as biased as you would assume. They always go out of their way to present both sides to topics.

 

[Jeebus.]

Yeah maybe the topics they don't choose to ignore.

Search for a torrent of it, theres 400+ episodes out there. I've been listening to one or two every day at work when I grind skis, I'm about 250 in as of this week.

I know that my local station does a superb job covering local and regional issues.

As for nationally, I'd say they do a pretty good job. Look at today's rundown for afternoon show All Things Considered:

I saw Ira Glass speak at Dartmouth 5 or so years ago and damn can that man tell a story.

 

[p-fo]

Media studies have repeatedly shown this to simply not be true.

But seriously, when I'm headed out early in the morning for skiing, I listen to Morning Edition to get some news. I like the fact that NPR covers things that matter, and does so in-depth.
