I just got into West Virginia today (surprise Mother’s Day visit!) and hung out with my parents as well as my neighbors and some old friends who are still around. When I was visiting my neighbors, I brought up the fact that I used to despise NPR. I mean, I perceived it as this station with monotonous newscasters continuing on and on about topics that were of absolutely no concern to me. Then, somewhere along my college career I realized I had totally misperceived NPR! I believe it was actually thanks to iTunes and the ability to podcast NPR shows that really revolutionized my views.
Since then I’ve subscribe to:j
- Wait Wait, Don’t Tell Me
- All Songs Considered
- World Cafe
- Fresh Air
- Health and Science News
- Science Fridays
- This I Believe
- This American Life
- Story of the Day
- World Story of the Day
You can get them all here. With all of these podcasts I am endlessly entertained by the high quality programming in addition to the richness that it adds to my life by informing me of what’s going on, introducing me to new ideas, and exposing me to new music that I can enjoy!
