    Any fans of NPR here? It's annoying that I can only listen to it on the internet, but overall I think it beats BBC 4 and their World Service for its overall coverage and quality.

    Oh yeah, now ye're talkin'

    I used to listen to KQED and KALW in San Francisco. And have on occasion listened over the internet to Car Talk at 6pm on Saturdays and Sundays.

    Ahem.

    but yes, very very good......very good indeed.

    Yes, I'm a fan too but my enjoyment of their stuff is impaired by my having a rubbish 3 fraudband modem. I agree though - their stuff is excellent and shows RTÉ how it's done.

    I do like NPR a lot. As for your comment about it being superior to BBC 4 and the World Service, I can't agree. There is simply nothing to beat these two BBC services. They are brilliant..

    I love www.npr.org and have been listening since they appeared on satellite over 8 years ago, I like most of the presenters except Diane Rehm who suffers from sort of medical complaint and I find it painful to listen to her plus the guys on Cartalk are not funny.

    I would say I listen to NPR for over 15/20 hours a week in windows of my listening time like 9am to 10am Irish time when RTE and Newstalk are weak. Friday afternoon when that woman is on Mooney. In the weekend and at night its great.

    To sum up if you like educated radio give NPR a listen and I think you'll like it.
