Was there any point in your life where you listened to NPR on the reg?
I had a coworker that would listen to it both ways of his commute. He was by far the least productive member of his department. Nice enough guy, not lazy, just had no idea how to be useful and would complete projects much much slower than the average employee
I'll catch it sometimes on the drive into work if I want get mad or send angry voice messages to my group chats. They have some wildly slanted stories. It helps to know a bit about what your enemies are talking about.
I grew up listening to it, and mostly by my own choice.
I had a small toy radio I used to listen to while I was going to sleep, probably when I was around 6 or 7. I really did like listening to the interviews of Terry Gross and Marty Moss-Coaine, and loved the comedy of A Prairie Home Companion, as well as the excitement of the Wait, Wait... Don't Tell Me!
I actually think that early episodes of This American Life were brilliant, but I haven't listened to that program in so long, I wonder if I would now hear it differently than I did before.
Sometimes I wonder if listening to too much NPR at such a young age turned my brain soft, and gave me oddly liberal habits, like writing poetry.

Oh I did used to listen to that years ago. There was some interesting stuff aside that one faggot contributor. I also haven't heard it in years.
No. Most NPR I’ve consumed is “Tiny Desk” music on jewtube.
What "Tiny Desk" concerts did you enjoy?
I’d have to look back, Adel comes to mind.
