Radio/streaming/podcasts. Well, all my free time anyway... my husband has been a "sustainer" for years. We have lots of jokes about that at our house. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-listen-to-npr#post-686859 Wed, 03 Apr 2013 11:53:47 +0000 MrsH 686859@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In the car :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-listen-to-npr#post-686857 Wed, 03 Apr 2013 11:53:45 +0000 JoJoGirl 686857@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Shutterbug: YES!!! I think that's why I started trying to imitate him too! Fred Armisen was SO GOOD! We looked up that SNL clip online after hearing the episode, it was hilarious. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-listen-to-npr#post-686848 Wed, 03 Apr 2013 11:52:36 +0000 Shutterbug 686848@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JoJoGirl: Did you hear the doppelgangers episode of This American Life where Fred Armisen was mimicing Ira Glass? They are voice twins. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-listen-to-npr#post-686840 Wed, 03 Apr 2013 11:51:25 +0000 JoJoGirl 686840@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Shutterbug: I posted that on FB when it was going around!!! Hahahaha love that. I am always trying to imitate Ira Glass' voice.. it's so distinct. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-listen-to-npr#post-686836 Wed, 03 Apr 2013 11:50:31 +0000 T-Mom 686836@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Big NPR and American public media fan... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-listen-to-npr#post-686427 Wed, 03 Apr 2013 10:13:03 +0000 lovehoneybee 686427@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, we're an NPR family. I have some very fond memories of driving through Upstate NY and Vermont on our honeymoon looking at the leaves changing colors and listening to This American Life. </p> <p>My favorite shows are (in no particular order): This American Life, Snap Judgement, Wait Wait Don't Tell Me, Science Friday, Fresh Air, Car Talk and Radiolab. </p> <p>@Shutterbug: Haha Ira Glass does look exactly how I imagine him! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-listen-to-npr#post-686409 Wed, 03 Apr 2013 10:07:09 +0000 Shutterbug 686409@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Lozza: ah I love it!</p> <p>I'm a huge NPR fan. I listen to it a lot in the car, and I subscribe to a bunch of the podcasts (TAL, WWDTM, Radiolab, Story Corps)</p> <p>I'm so bad at guessing what all the reporters look like though. I found this article a while back and it's hilarious!

Love it. Listening right now :)</p> <p>@Lozza: My cat is named after the lead anchor on Canadian public television :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-listen-to-npr#post-686155 Wed, 03 Apr 2013 08:51:52 +0000 Happygal 686155@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>All the time! Although when I was teaching, I had this set to wake me up in the morning, and the news reporter would put me back to sleep. I stream their music station--All Songs 24/7 is a great mix. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-listen-to-npr#post-686149 Wed, 03 Apr 2013 08:50:47 +0000 JoJoGirl 686149@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: I actually would've paid for the tickets happily, but it was also in another state on a Thursday or something random, so would've meant paying for a hotel and taking off work. I still considered it :) but ultimately we'd just wait for it to come to our city instead. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-listen-to-npr#post-686082 Wed, 03 Apr 2013 08:34:37 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 686082@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JoJoGirl: we did it during pledge drive and just considered it our pledge for the year :) it was my Christmas present to him, so I could justify the expense. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-listen-to-npr#post-686072 Wed, 03 Apr 2013 08:30:31 +0000 JoJoGirl 686072@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: Oooh nice!!! I tried to get DH tickets to WW DTM for his birthday this year but they are CRAZY expensive!!! One of these days we'll make it happen :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-listen-to-npr#post-686069 Wed, 03 Apr 2013 08:29:27 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 686069@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We listen all the time and are going to see Sci Fri live in a couple of weeks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-listen-to-npr#post-686060 Wed, 03 Apr 2013 08:26:44 +0000 ineebee 686060@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@honeybear: Yes! Kai Ryssdal's voice is so great! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-listen-to-npr#post-686054 Wed, 03 Apr 2013 08:23:07 +0000 honeybear 686054@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. I especially love the "credits" at the end of Car Talk, and Kai Ryssdal of Marketplace. He's got the best voice! I try to pay attention when he "does the numbers," but I almost always end up singing "We're in the money, we're in the money, we've got a lot of what it takes to get along!" instead. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-listen-to-npr#post-686044 Wed, 03 Apr 2013 08:19:01 +0000 JoJoGirl 686044@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>haha yes every day! I've always said that Wait Wait Don't Tell Me is one of the best programs (radio or TV) on the air right now :) Also love This American Life. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-listen-to-npr#post-686042 Wed, 03 Apr 2013 08:18:07 +0000 winniebee 686042@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: Love car talk!</p> <p>We do, but mostly in the car. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-listen-to-npr#post-686032 Wed, 03 Apr 2013 08:13:47 +0000 Lozza 686032@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are a total NPR family.

Just depends on my mood. I always loved listening to Car Talk. Those guys cracked me up. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-listen-to-npr#post-686022 Wed, 03 Apr 2013 08:10:15 +0000 MediaNaranja 686022@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My dad is general manager of the NPR station in my hometown, so I've always listened. I still do...and will sometimes stream my dad's station online rather than listen to my local one. And during pledge drive season, I always pledge my dad's station :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-listen-to-npr#post-686017 Wed, 03 Apr 2013 08:07:37 +0000 Honeybee 686017@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love NPR!

It's my primary source of news! I started listening in 2008 during the election because I was clueless about things going on in the world. And NPR makes the news so accessible and interesting! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-listen-to-npr#post-685982 Wed, 03 Apr 2013 07:49:19 +0000 Bookish 685982@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love NPR. My dad was a huge NPR listener while I was growing up, and I have fond memories of listening to Car Talk on the weekends. :) I was just listening to NPR this morning actually, and it mentioned a couple websites I want to check out. Love it!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-listen-to-npr#post-685980 Wed, 03 Apr 2013 07:47:40 +0000 heffalump 685980@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did in college. Now dh has me hooked on a talk radio station geared toward men..... But I love it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-listen-to-npr#post-683521 Wed, 03 Apr 2013 07:45:00 +0000 regberadaisy 683521@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never used to but lately I've started to.
