After I got my Ipod, I completely lost track of what's on NPR. I used be a regular pledge member for many years supporting KQED, the bay area chapter. After a while, I got tired of it and only listen to fun programs like, "Prairie Home Companion" by Garrison Keillor, the infamous "Car Talk" and sometimes "Wait Wait don't tell me" Quiz. I've read books by Garrison Keillor after listening to his show. His writings are mostly about him growing up in Minnesotta. They are very funny at the same time introduces american life in mid west. I also like the "World" news (http://www.theworld.org/about/bios/mullins.shtml) by Lisa Mullins. "Market Place" is good especially when David Brancaccio is around. I understand the initial excitement you're going through with NPR. I was in the same boat earlier. My interest waned over the period of 5 years. I still love NPR, but listen to it much less than before. Especially, when they go on their pledge drives. In Seattle, you do not get some content I get in the bay area like the "Forum" (http://www.kqed.org/radio/about/staff/krasny.jsp) talk show by Michael Krasny. This used to be my regular listening as I drove to work and now it has been taken over by my cell phone calls. I wish I had more time to listen to NPR, whether liberal or conservative. Enjoy listening... Jags LG,

Slightly diff take from the above comment: I think NPR has, if anything a slightly liberal bias. Jus listen to O'rielly rail against it...and its not a bad thing (a bit of liberal bias) as I am slightly to the left, these days. :-)So, it kind of reinforces my view. My favs are Talk of the nation, esp thier Science Friday, 'wait,wait, dont tell me', car talk. Local prog on KQED like Forum, California report are 'must hears' everyday. ---DeAnna You might just be the right candidate for thier Winter-drive pledge :-)

NPR is not totally unbiased and it is not BBC. It is easy to observe a subtle conservative bias if one follows the commentaries on political issues. Most of NPR's commentators involve reliable conservatives and milquetoast liberals. Their talk-show hosts are afraid to ask tough questions (they have to be nice to their guests after all, sort of following the Jon Stewart approach) and their programming lacks any bite Er.

Didnt think much about that !! How obscure would it be to change the sentence on the post as " If you live somwhere" and take out the mention of USA as the streaming is impeccable and internet is a omnipresent. Thanks Hari. Yep.

Not necessary. You can listen it ‘Live’ over the internet. The streaming is impeccable.
