The station is by far the best on the air and the book is stunning. We are very fortunate to get the NY NPR station here in New Jersey. There is a program hosted by Lennie Lopate in which relevent topics are discussed by authors and others who have expertise in their subjects. I spend alot of my day in the car and NPR is a link to sanity. jack
