(listens to it) Sounds good! I think I'll listen to it as a switch-up from Drive 105. Thanks a lot, Traveler!! Posts: 4816 | Registered: Apr 2003

Hmmmm. 105 is my default, too. Maybe I'll check this one out on the way home today. Weekend, however, I am all about NPR.

I'm a little irritated by MPR; they buy up public radio stations and take off my favorite music shows and put on nationally syndicated NPR talk shows because they're cheaper. Posts: 21182 | Registered: Sep 2004

Our NPR station is so lame when it comes to music. The best you can hope for is new age ambient stuff on Friday nights. :/

"I Love NPR so intently that it makes me want to cry."
Do you listen to "Prairie Home Companion," Annie? He tends to have great music on his show. I wonder if this muci show takes any of their selection from Garrison Keillor or "All Songs Considered?"

I adore Garrison Keillor! I make my entire family listen to Prairie Home Companion. They especially liked the show a couple weeks ago about peeing outside on winter scout campouts.
Also, every day at 11:55 I listen to Writer's Almanac and it calms my troubled soul. That piano piece that plays at the introduction instantly relieves every tense muscle in my body. Because of this, I have to make sure I'm not standing when it comes on.
