The alarm clock is set to NPR, he also puts it on on the radio in the kitchen in the morning first thing and turns it off when we leave for work. Then on it goes when we get home, when we cook and eat dinner. He listens to podcasts on the train and in the car too! He's heard EVERY episode of This American Life and is religious about Planet Money (great financial advice). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-into-public-radionpr/page/2#post-1608364 Fri, 02 May 2014 10:38:19 +0000 MediaNaranja 1608364@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: ha, should have been more specific... he runs the affiliate in [redacted since mrs.

She totally disarms guests in such a sweet, mild mannered way to ask those questions. Her interview with Joaquin Phoenix is one of my favorites. He's so quiet and soft spoken, but opened up to her and was so self deprecating during that interview. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-into-public-radionpr#post-1608341 Fri, 02 May 2014 10:33:28 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 1608341@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MediaNaranja: your dad runs it? My friend is one of the reporters!</p> <p>Oh and I'm listening to Diane Rehm on the botched execution in Oklahoma right now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-into-public-radionpr#post-1608336 Fri, 02 May 2014 10:33:13 +0000 woodentulip 1608336@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I listen to the CBC here in Canada almost exclusively. I grew up in a house that only listened to it, and I hated it, but now I love it. Except the shows that I hate. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-into-public-radionpr#post-1608334 Fri, 02 May 2014 10:33:01 +0000 cascademom 1608334@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, I listen to it at work. Right now, I'm listening to the BBC report. Chicago's NPR station is great. I like the Afternoon Shift, and Fresh Air the most. Science Friday is okay, but Ira always talks over his guests. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-into-public-radionpr#post-1608299 Fri, 02 May 2014 10:25:39 +0000 sunny 1608299@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup i listen in the car. I love this American life and all things considered. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-into-public-radionpr#post-1608294 Fri, 02 May 2014 10:25:01 +0000 travellingbee 1608294@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, it is almost all I listen to in the car. I can not STAND morning radio other than NPR. I like listening to music but there is never music on in the mornings here. It's just a bunch of idiots talking about dribble and prank calling other idiots. Ugh so annoying. NPR is so much more of soothing start to my morning.<br /> @FliegepilzHut: I agree on all counts. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-into-public-radionpr#post-1608275 Fri, 02 May 2014 10:21:03 +0000 LovelyPlum 1608275@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FliegepilzHut: I agree-she makes me nuts! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-into-public-radionpr#post-1608274 Fri, 02 May 2014 10:20:57 +0000 PurplePeony 1608274@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I listen all day at work. Sometimes I don't pay that much attention, depending on how busy I am, but because I don't really have coworkers in my office, NPR and Hellobee are kind of like my water cooler.</p> <p>On a side note, we're really fortunate to have three great public radio stations here -- one classical, one jazz, and one "news and information." DH donated to the classical station and I really need to get my act together and donate to the news one! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-into-public-radionpr#post-1608211 Fri, 02 May 2014 10:07:31 +0000 autumnlove 1608211@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, I prefer silence in the car! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-into-public-radionpr#post-1608168 Fri, 02 May 2014 09:58:59 +0000 heartonastring 1608168@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, I listen almost exclusively to CBC Radio One, which is Canada's public talk radio. I also listen to some NPR podcasts. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-into-public-radionpr#post-1608158 Fri, 02 May 2014 09:55:30 +0000 littleredhairedgrl 1608158@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yes I LOVE npr!! radio lab is my fav show, but I love it all </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-into-public-radionpr#post-1608151 Fri, 02 May 2014 09:53:17 +0000 luckypenny 1608151@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't because I'm never really in my car but DH does during his long commutes. Although he always comes home telling me about some depressing story he heard on NPR and he has to tell me so he doesn't have to bare the sadness burden alone lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-into-public-radionpr#post-1608144 Fri, 02 May 2014 09:51:34 +0000 matador84 1608144@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Love npr. All things considered is my favorite and this American life. I even love prairie home companion! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-into-public-radionpr#post-1608107 Fri, 02 May 2014 09:43:03 +0000 FliegepilzHut 1608107@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I LOVE listening to This American Life and Wait Wait Don't Tell Me! The news shows are also great-- All Things Considered, Here and Now, Morning/Weekend Edition, etc. Fresh Air can be really interesting...but Terri Gross sometimes asks the most bizarre (inappropriate?) questions... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-into-public-radionpr#post-1607742 Fri, 02 May 2014 08:01:41 +0000 littlebug 1607742@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to listen to Morning Edition every morning, but since having D our morning routine changed and I don't get the chance to nearly as often anymore. I miss it. On the weekend sometimes I'll listen to Car Talk or Wait Wait Don't Tell Me. My dad is a HUGE listener, so he often sends me stories he thinks I'll be interested in, and I stream them on my computer at work. Which I guess I could do with Morning Edition, too.... duh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-into-public-radionpr#post-1607730 Fri, 02 May 2014 07:57:56 +0000 MediaNaranja 1607730@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup, I love it all! My dad runs the local npr station so its close to my heart. This year I didn't have much money to give to the pledge drive so I volunteered to answer phones and it was actually really fun! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-into-public-radionpr#post-1607710 Fri, 02 May 2014 07:49:45 +0000 LovelyPlum 1607710@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Love it! I'm not a huge fan of Terry Gross/Fresh Air or Diane Rehm, but u love pretty much everything else, especially On Point! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-into-public-radionpr#post-1607702 Fri, 02 May 2014 07:48:03 +0000 Bookish 1607702@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I'm a big fan. I grew up listening to it in the car with my Dad, and since the morning shows in my area suck, I listen to it pretty much every day. &lt;3 car guys &amp; wait wait on the weekend! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-into-public-radionpr#post-1607698 Fri, 02 May 2014 07:45:42 +0000 MoonMoon 1607698@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, especially in the car. I love the Morning Edition theme song, reminds me of my dad driving us to school. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-into-public-radionpr#post-1607674 Fri, 02 May 2014 07:32:01 +0000 T-Mom 1607674@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Science Friday is my favorite ... As well as Fresh Air. And I also listen to Diane Rehm show sometimes. Love NPR! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-into-public-radionpr#post-1607645 Fri, 02 May 2014 07:12:57 +0000 twodoghouse 1607645@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I listen on the way to and from work. It makes me feel smarter :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-into-public-radionpr#post-1607589 Fri, 02 May 2014 06:35:26 +0000 mediagirl 1607589@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep. I listen to Morning Edition and All Things Considered on our local NPR channel. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-into-public-radionpr#post-1607586 Fri, 02 May 2014 06:31:41 +0000 Happygal 1607586@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsF: my sister and I did a cross country road trip, and This American Life was the main thing we listened to! Makes time pass quickly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-into-public-radionpr#post-1607585 Fri, 02 May 2014 06:31:09 +0000 Happygal 1607585@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I love it! Car Talk, Diane Rehm, Talk of the Nation, This American Life, Radiolab.....basically all of it. I used to have my alarm set to NPR and it was very easy to fall back asleep and have strange dreams when listening to the morning news.</p> <p>Have you guys listened to their music channel? I've found new artists I like that way, and their Tiny Desk Concert series is fun: <a href="http://www.npr.org/series/tiny-desk-concerts/" rel="nofollow">http://www.npr.org/series/tiny-desk-concerts/</a><br /> Oh, and I love Mountain Stage. </p>
