The kids/wife have been gone for the last week, returned tonight. The house is alive again, and NPR is on, "Echoes", then "Hearts of Space" later.

I'm addicted for 10 years or so now. Good stuff, goooood stuff

May you one day have Carl Castle on your answering machine!   

I love NPR EXCEPT their news...damn biased bastards fit in with Fox and CNN.  I want to see unbiased media...any kind of unbiased news.  I'm so tired of so and so is great because he's going to do something different that this dork bag. 

I heard a radio show on NPR a couple months back- it was hours devoted entirely to salt. That is some compelling shaZam! right there... Funny thing is, I would switch back every one in awhile to find they were indeed STILL talking about goddamn salt! Who has a 3 hour radio show about salt? NPR does, that's who.

npr is great.  to get real news on tv you need the bbc world service.  i first discovered it whilst fighting Cypriot rebels in 1987 .  network news and radio suck

Carl castle ... yea funny, even more of a serious grave voice is Daniel Shore. BTW Who the F*(k put that 375 year old Diane Ream on the bloody radio. She literally sounds like a corpse.

OTOH ... I am in love with Cristal tippet's voice. Pity she is on sunday afternoons. Not heard her in ages, cos I dont do anything but work on bikes or house sundays these days.

Now NPR, just because they are NPR doesn't mean they are correct in all that they report. And I am not talking about their biasses. The part that I remember now and they are horribly wrong is ... In Myanmar they talk about the Military Junta, but they say Junta as Hun-ta. However J in non spanish based languages is said as J not J or Y. Junta is said with a J sound, so it is Ja as in jaw and nta ... Jan-ta and it is hindi or sanskrit based language word for people. Essentially Military people is military junta.

I think I expected better from NPR. And in my area, the winston salem NPR relays BBC worl news from 9-10 and I need to be in work before that diane ream comes on at 10. 

Cool.
Buddha.

my radio at work is mon - thurs howard stern, then science fridays on npr
