Keeps me connected.

NPR.. helps me keep my beat in rhythm.. from dawn till dusk I enjoy the music, the culture, politics, humor, and stories of lives and people around the world that make you cry, rouse, giggle, acknowledge, and feel what another person from around the world feels. I love NPR.

garrison keillor is coming to town. . . i swear that i'm not going to miss it this time!

I love, love, love NPR. It's a fantastic source for news, and I love going to their website for such sections like "Kitchen Window" and their Music page. Through "Song of the Day," I've managed to find out about a gamut of artists I've listened to and liked.

NPR is fantastic in communicating world news on an individual scale, for example, in covering the current food crisis, they focused on a bakery in Connecticut that's encouraging its customers to grow their own wheat to prove to local farmers that wheat can be a good crop to grow in the New England state. They also went on about the rising costs of food by discussing each ingredient in a baguette and why the costs of the particular ingredient are going up.

Their "Climate Connections" page is informative not only on a local, American scale, but also in informing us about what other countries are doing to reduce carbon emissions and make things better.

All in all, NPR is a wonderful source of information about these strange times we currently live in.

NPR presents the best radio programing I've ever heard.

Keeps me up to date on interesting issues and events
