NPR Master Thread

I listened to npr today and they had some lib on there talking about oil production and wind energy, he kept referring to himself in the third person...Boone Pickens or something.  Totally lamenting wind energy, very lib, so boring and uninformative.

I think I would enjoy the crap out of NPR if I was REALLY stoned.

Are you listening to 90.1 or 89.1?  Big difference bruh, like Miley Cyrus vs. Taylor Swift type diff.

I listen to the show and they remind me of driving places with my dad.  Honestly, I've been listening to podcasts and didn't realize they were all reruns though some sounded very familiar.

Yep. Saturday mornings in my house as a kid were chores, pancakes, and car talk (sometimes What Do You Know? also). My Dad loved calling my Grandpa to talk about the puzzler each week.

Forgot about "What do you know?" - I kept trying to talk myself into "Wait Wait Don't Tell Me" being what I was thinking of but it never felt right

I don't like wait wait don't tell me. It comes off as pretentious. "What do you know?" comes off as smart.
