(What's this?)
- Fans will want to check out all the NPR People
- Those funny bits on the half hour of "Morning Edition"? They're called Bob Edwards' Returns
- KQED is their San Francisco affiliate
- Jefferson Public Radio
serves Southern Oregon and Northern California. Sure, they broadcast
"All Things Considered" and some of the other NPR shows, but they're
a real community radio station serving up a homegrown mix of local
news and eclectic music ("rhythm and news"). Out of the area:
listen to the online service, iJPR.

107.5 FM in the Monterey Bay Area, 94.9 FM in the San Luis Obispo

I was going to make links to the Web pages of all my favorite NPR shows, but I like almost all of them, except "Garry's Cornpone Onion"; when I "hear that old piano," I turn off the radio.
