don't get any on you

Time for a media barrage. I happen to be a radio guy so here's a list of some really good shows, each for its own reason. Enjoy:

1) Actually the first is a station. It should be given a good close listen for anyone who wants to stay informed. NPR

2) There's humor in an NPR show called Car Talk. This is two brothers, both MIT grads, who studied engineering. They are also really really funny.

3) Michael Savage is a conservative who's sick of the republican party. He's got a good sense of humor too, but the way he covers politics and world events is powerful.

4) This next show is a little... campy, maybe. It's a collection of non-fiction short stories with some thematic thread. This American Life is very real and oddly compelling.

5) Who the hell hasn't seen Spinal Tap yet? Or at least The Simpsons. Harry Shearer (Derek Smalls and many cartoon voices you would know) has a weekend program called Le Show. It's mostly political satire, but don't let that description fool you. It's quality.

6) I listen to Love Line most weekday nights. The odd thing is that there doesn't seem to be one real site about it. No link, but if you want to know more about the car your soul drives that you call a body then find it. KPNT in St. Louis and KROQ in LA.

... I would have mentioned Howard Stern but I don't hear him anymore. The reviews I've seen of his work now are mixed. Radio is better for your brain than 99% of what's on TV. Try one.
