J3FF3R00 Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 I was listening to this story today, about the word "retard" and it made me think of you guys. I also noticed there wasn't a tread about NPR and was curious how many of you retards listen to it on a regular basis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest hahathhat Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 i often listen to NPR while building circuits or stuck in traffic -- otherwise i can't focus on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Adjective Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 i used to listen to "all things considered" a lot at work and on my drive home, but stopped right around when obama got elected Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Benedict Cumberbatch Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 i usually listen during the work day if i'm not in the mood for music and work isn't too brain intensive. its my US equivalent of radio 2 without terry wogan or music and on the weekends for cartalk but switch off right before prairie home companion FUCK THE PLEDGE DRIVE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sneaksta303 Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 guy who's house I stay at has it on in the kitchen 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Even at night when no one is even around. *shrugs* He's old (62) but has great taste in moosics... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Drahken Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 When I was a little kid (like 7-8) I grew up listening to Hearts of Space every sunday night on NPR. Back then I didn't even know what to call electronic music, it was simply 'space music' to me back then. Fantastic show, its probably what rooted my interest in the genre long before I had any idea. Well worth checking out, Stephen Hill's play lists are incredible. I think most of them are archived too online, http://www.hos.com/. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too much new-agey crapoo. They played some Vangelis the other week though, and an ambient-ish buckethead tune so that was cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Drahken Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 Thats a shame, I admit its been several years since I've even thought about listening in. I just remember how much I loved 'space music' when I'd play with my action figures on sunday evenings as a kid, only to rediscover Eno and Glass and all the other artists he'd play like a lost piece of my childhood nearly a decade later.

sneaksta303 Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 but i don't check every week so perhaps I just get the off themes that I don't care to explore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capsaicin Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 I remember riding in a car listening to npr with my friends and when a song off of SAWII came up my buds were like "LOL IT'S APHEX" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blir Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 I don't know shit about NPR but I do know that campaigns to get words bleeped are infuriating! There's few things more jarring than watching a tv show and hearing bleeping as if it's making my ears safer. Fucking retards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
encey Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 I listen to whatever I can catch, including: - Sound Opinions - Sunday Edition Puzzle with Puzzlemaster Will Shortz w00t! - Wait Wait Don't Tell Me (saw it taped live once, lol'd) - Car Talk - This American Life - Eight Forty-Eight - The Story - All Songs Considered I'm a white man. *hi-fives* :glitchhop.gif: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joyrex Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 I'm a big NPR fan - listen to Morning Edition every morning on the way to work, and All Things Considered on the way home. On the weekends, I try and catch Car Talk and Wait Wait Don't Tell Me, Says You, This American Life, and others. It's actually the one reason I don't get an iPod and still have a shitty 256MB Samsung MP3 player - it has a built in FM tuner so I can listen to NPR. Fuck having to buy an addon for the iPod just to get radio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
