A few weeks ago, 91.5 FM picked up BBC News in the morning. While I got pissed off, since that essentially cancelled my favourite Jazz show, it turns out that BBC radio is rather good. Maybe it just feels better because it doesn't focus on local tensions, though, but I usually feel well informed without feeling pressured after giving it a listen.

There's also, on 90.1 WUSB, FSRN (Free Speech Radio News), which focuses a lot on international stuff, but they're a bit hippie-ish for this crowd....

And I eat my peanut butter out of the jar. ^_^
