food for the brain

{the npr map}

For a long time I didn't understand what the big deal was with NPR (National Public Radio). Why would people want to hear other people talking? A couple of years ago when I started dating Josh, I became a listener by accident not design.

Today I can tell you that becoming an NPR listener has truly changed my life. It has made me more aware, more informed, more diverse and dare I say smarter. I can't believe that I went so long without it as part of my day. Jazz, Car Talk, Morning Edition, Talk of the Nation, All Things Considered, the list goes on and on.

Oh, and I am also more interesting at cocktail parties now too!
