I love NPR

Before i forget to write about it, let me write about it.

I love NPR - National Public Radio.

It is primarily a news radio with some shows at particular times. To start with, their news coverage is awesome. Their reporters are professional, it is unbiased to any political party and they report genuine stories from around the world. Kudos to NPR for this one.

As far as shows go, the one that i have become a fan is selected shorts. In this one, they call actors to read short stories selected. The one that got me hooked was a short story Jobs's Jobs by Aimee Bender. It can be found here - http://www.webdelsol.com/Other_Voices/Bender.htm


Podcasts can be found here - http://www.npr.org/rss/podcast/podcast_directory.php?type=main&id=-1

NPR website is here - http://www.npr.org/

It reminds me so much of AIR FM Rainbow - its days in 2000/2001. Te fact that they combined both english and hindi songs, jazz songs, classical (both indian and western) and other things, awesome!

I need an NPR in India as well!. Somebody do it please!
