A Neat Discovery

[johnmill79]

As most of you know by now, I enjoy listening to NPR. Particularly, I usually close my night by tuning in to Morning Edition and All Things Considered. It's an insane routine that I've clung to, I guess for comfort? consistency?, since 2002

Cool! I'm glad to hear this. Do you like the fun shows, too, like "Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me" and "Car Talk" and well, "This American Life"? I LOVE NPR, too-- I'm with you. I still use the radio for a lot of the programming, though, 'cause I'm old fashioned like that.

[johnmill79]

The main reason I don't use the radio is timing. I listen to most of the stories at or after 9 PM.

But maybe if they leave it like this, I can venture out and try some of those other programs you mentioned. I've never really listened to them, well with the exception of This American Life. I do like that one.

That is great. Hopefully the web site will not be changed. Having something be accessible for the blind is hard enough to find at times.

[johnmill79]

You're right about that. I think they're aware of these issues, and I imagine trying to address them can be tricky too.

Do you put music on your ipod too ro just podcasts? Hope you have a good night!

[johnmill79]

Mostly podcasts. It's easier for me to listen to talk in there than it is to listen to music.

This is really cool. I'll have to check it out!

[johnmill79]

Yup. I didn't see that they'd announced it anywhere, just saw the link suddenly. That's why I wonder if it'll stick.

How great that you can download those! The technology that's available always amazes me. I haven't listened to NPR in years, I really should once in awhile. I used to listen to it with my Grandpa and learned a lot.

It probably just means I'm way older than I should be already. lol I took a Facebook quiz, and it said I was 75. Ah well! I do love my NPR.
