My New Program
A few weeks ago, I got to visit my Brother, his Wife and my Nephew at my Aunt's house.
On my home I turned on the local NPR station and discovered a program called Weekend America. Think of it as All Things Considered-lite. The focus is more on people than on the news itself; one example was a recent piece on the revival of Students For A Democratic Society. The program also does arts reviews and some odd segments like the "Solomon Squad", an attempt to solve ethical quandries.
The program seems to be done as two, two-hour blocks. Seems that the program is designed to be "background noise", something to keep on while one putters (which is how I've been using it).
For those of you with IPods, etc. The program can also be downloaded, and I highly recommend it. If it's not on your NPR station--ask them to take a look at it:) ¶ 3:48 PM
