Because I work in front of a computer all day and have a number of impromptu conversations, I often miss what is being said. So, listen to archived shows of Fresh Air, the Diane Rhem Show, and On the Media. (I guess that makes me hardcore. But, I drive an SUV, which maintains my street-cred.)<BR/><BR/>In a time when we can choose what we listen to--and, as a result, we can only hear/read opinions we agree with--I believe it's important to be challenged by ideas that I normally wouldn't agree with or be exposed to. Often, I don't agree with what someone is saying on NPR, but I need that.<BR/><BR/>I don't just listen to NPR. I read the Wall Street Journal and ten other newspapers daily. That's not bragging, its part of my job as a marketer.<BR/><BR/>At the same time, I realize NPR isn't for everyone.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
