I set up my Google Reader and had a great time adding various feeds. Most are from National Public Radio...
I am a NPR addict. This is the only radio station I listen to (well, except for a little Dave Ramsey every once in a while). My children seem pretty content with it, so far, just like I was growing up. In fact, hearing the theme music for "All Things Considered" makes me very nostalgic. That music conjures up a very comfortable feeling...sitting in the back seat of my mom's Volvo wagon, relaxing (maybe dozing) after a long school day, snack in hand, on my way to a piano or violin lesson. We were probably running late...
One of my favorite programs, now, is NPR's StoryCorps. I love it so much that the theme music can even get me misty-eyed! It's a wonderful short segment, contributed by listeners, of "regular" people interviewing other "regular" people. The stories are beautiful.

Hi Elizabeth,
ReplyDeleteI sent a comment several minutes ago but it never showed up, so I'll try again. Then you might have two comments and therefore have a very popular blog! I am practicing my commenting skills on blogs today.
I am an NPR addict as well. My son is a sophomore at the Oberlin Conservatory, double bass, and I like to picture him playing all the lovely music. I also walk to and from school listening to the radio, so it's all I ever seem to quote.
I will watch for your next post.
