NPR! gotta love the stories. Pretty awesome news stories and interviews that are cool to listen to if you are on a long drive. Good music doesnt hurt either.

"From WBEZ Chicago, it's This American Glife. I'm Ira Glass."

Swear to God, the guy throws a G in at the end of American every time and for no good reason. Regardless, I dig that show. So nice to fall asleep to.
