Between the commercial shouters, the bible thumpers and the right wing haters,
a grim planet, indeed. Then, when I find an NPR station it's like a trip back to sanity.

An excellent description of current radio choices.

I suppose you could add all sports and all news stations to this mix, not much else that I know of (my daughter knows a few more that play music that she likes and I can't understand or appreciate).

Same experience here - and NPR has a very broad reach, even out on the road there is some little state university town with a PBS station going. Thank goodness.

The trashing of commercial radio has been a huge boost for NPR.

Interesting. I've basically given up on AM radio. When I'm in car for any length of time, most of my listening is on Sirius/XM. With some traffic station and a bit of stock market talk thrown in.
