Fun Drive

[hobbesthetiger]

Whenever I hear NPR stations have their semiannual fund drives, I always hear "Fun Drive!" And then I think, "Oh, I can donate some fun! What are we doing?"

This morning, Ira Glass (of This American Life) called a listener who had been ratted out by his friends for never donating. It was awesome

(laughs) that's awesome. I love the columbus NPR station, i'm almost tempted to donate from here. Our local station is primarily classical music... they do some talk: car talk, morning edition, whatever the 5pm news is... and they'll do saturday evening Prairie Home, but not the sunday morning rerun. But most of the time, it's just music. The sort of classical music that even my boyfriend, the boy who's entire music collection is classical, finds insipid.

Yeah- I also don't dig NPR stations that just trundle over classical most of the time. There's a lot out there, man! Get to it.
