Author    Post   Kevin McKague F L I N T O I D Honestly, if some of you would get past your delusions about public radio, you might be entertained and informed more often. Listen to this, from a weekly short called "The Unger Report", this one titled "How To Buck Up A Sad Labor Market" (or click here instead: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=97396781) Fri Nov 28, 2008 12:46 pm  back again F L I N T O I D i've always apreciated npr. Fri Nov 28, 2008 6:54 pm  lunchlady F L I N T O I D I LOVE NPR! _________________ Whatever... Fri Nov 28, 2008 10:07 pm  Kevin McKague F L I N T O I D quote: lunchlady schreef: I LOVE NPR! Me too. I've found the only people who don't haven't actually listened to it. It's addictive. In depth news stories and interviews that last more than two minutes and without commercial interruption, funny shows like "This American Life" , and my personal favorite, "On the Media" . (edited... by......Brooke) Seriously, if you're not listening to it, it's your own loss. Sat Nov 29, 2008 2:28 pm  twotap F L I N T O I D So how does one go about listening to NPR. Internet, radio dial?? _________________ "If you like your current healthcare you can keep it, Period"!! Barack Hussein Obama--- multiple times.

Internet, radio dial?? 91.1 or 91.7 on the FM dial around Flint, MI, or live simulcast on www.MichiganRadio.org . You can also get podcasts to shows daily on I-Tunes or other services for free. For news and social discussions and interviews I recommend "Fresh Air", "The Diane Rehm Show", and "Talk of the Nation". For humor and entertainment I suggest "This American Life". www.NPR.org has a station finder for those of you outside of the Flint area. Sat Nov 29, 2008 7:22 pm  twotap F L I N T O I D Thanks Kevin, Ill have to give it a shot while Im fiddlydickin around in the garage.Ill let you know if I find it entertaining. _________________ "If you like your current healthcare you can keep it, Period"!!

Since it's the weekend, I'll suggest their best weekend shows, "Car Talk" (very funny, even for those who hate cars), the quiz show "Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me...", and sometimes "Prairie Home Companion" (although I'd turn the volume down during some of the musical numbers, and I have a corny sense of humor, some might not like this show for that reason). Stay away from "Splendid Table", its dreadfully boring. Sat Nov 29, 2008 7:28 pm  twotap F L I N T O I D The car talk sounds interesting since I am a friggin Car Nut as well as a Gunnut. Any GunTalk segments. _________________ "If you like your current healthcare you can keep it, Period"!! Barack Hussein Obama--- multiple times.

Just to clarify for those just tuning in....the "Al Sharpton show" is NOT on NPR. As an NPR nut, I would be remiss if I didn't clear that up. Sun Nov 30, 2008 9:39 am  back again F L I N T O I D at kevin please 2tap, i used to listen to rush and found him amusing for a while but he is a bit much to stomach now.. o.k., nevermind about rev.al!!

I don't know where you are, Two Tap, but if you're way up north, I wonder if you're receiving the station out of Alpena. They have a transmitter on the same frequency which broadcasts Central Michigan University's station. I listen to it when I get out there. It has some of the same shows, but not all of the ones on the U. of Mich station.
