A string of entertaining NPR summaries from Merlin Mann's (hotdogsladies) Twitter (in which he confesses that he, too, listens to NPR eight hours a day):
"Prairie Home Companion: a gentle amble through 2 hrs of reminders why most Americans despise poems, theater, and harmonizing in fifths."
"Next 'On the Media:' Bob kicks his slippers at the web for 10 minutes. Because he's definitely not terrified of it. Edited. By. Brook."
"This American Life. Act I. 'Bet You Didn't See THAT Coming.' A Producer. Talks like me. Yo La Tengo. Two unexpected twists. Act II..."
"Later, on All Things Considered, Robert Siegel talks with a water fountain about how bear markets impact the silent objects we drink from."
"Up next on Morning Edition, our new 112-part series from producer, Jay Allison: 'Old Black Ladies Cry While Someone Fingerpicks a Guitar.'"
NPR reminds us how personally rewarding it can be to empathize with interesting poor people for as long as eight minutes.
Ah, it's funny because it's true.
