Saturday afternoons and NPR go together like...I don't know.
I just love 'em. For a few years, I wouldn't admit that I was a fan. "Only old people listen to NPR" I thought. I feared the ridicule. Right here, right now, I can proudly say that shows like Wait Wait...Don't Tell Me make me chuckle. Garrison Keillor's A Prairie Home Companion makes me feel like a Farming Lutheran Minnesotan, hungry for a hot dish/casserole. Oh, and World Cafe during the week has some seriously great music. Anyone else out there a NPR fan? I am OK if I am the only one.

Love it... and I can't figure out how to stream it now that I'm out of radio range... My secret NPR love is Click and Clack-- gross, I know.

Glad you're with me, friend. I guess we are the old people in the neighborhood.

Love it, too. Listen to it when I am on baby duty and it reminds me of BBC's Radio 4..which used to be the most civilized broadcasting source ever...till it became too confrontational.

I love NPR on Saturday mornings to early afternoon, but I almost never listen because I almost never listen to the radio during those times. I love to listen from CarTalk (my absolute fave, starting at 10am) until Wait Wait or Whaddya Know (whichever one is on last - frankly, they could be the same show to me). I'm not a fan of Prairie Home at all (it's just not funny) and I've never even heard of World Cafe.

Jenny! Glad you are in on the NPR love. However, I grieve about your distaste for Prairie Home. Sad. :)

'only old people listen to NPR'??
Thanks. Most Norwegians crack up at Praire Home Companion-regardless of age.
I like Death Cab for Cutie, too.
My age knows no boundaries.
Have fun with Stef and Ryan.
