I can’t think of much of anything I dislike about NPR except that I don’t get enough chances to listen. Recently I’ve been able to listen to it again due to the Internet, but I actually think I learn about more better “alternative” bands from NPR long before my old station plays them. In high school I used to listen to the best alternative independent radio station in the country. I’m not a science person but Talk of The Nation Science Friday IS GREAT! After I listen to one of those shows I actually feel like I understand a bit of science. I love the general news programs (Morning Edition/All Things Considered) because they make me feel like I have a clue as to what is happening in the world and they generally make me want to find out more about many of the topics they cover (unlike TV news which makes me angry because it’s soooooooooooooo poorly put together and very choppy in what gets covered.) I really got hooked because of shows like FreshAir and back in the day I really loved the Derrick McGinty show (sadly long gone). I love almost all of the programming carried by my local station and quite often listen online to catch shows I’ve missed or can’t hear locally.
I’ve been listening to NPR since the late 80’s early 90’s and since leaving college it’s pretty much the only radio station to which I listen.
