News From Lake Wobegon
Love me a good radio play, so I'll listen to a little of the main show, but NFLW helped my insomnia.
They call those "podcasts" nowadays. But in the spirit of your question, I'll say my favorite is Wait Wait Don't Tell Me.
Not totally relevant, but there's a pub in Liverpool called The Shipping Forecast, bit wanky but you know, any port in a storm. Anyway they play the shipping forecast in the toilets, and fuck me if it isn't nice and soothing when it fills the silence as you wait for the piss to breach the porcelain.
Back when Rachel Martin hosted Morning Edition Sundays, that was my jam getting ready for work or commuting.
Always liked All Things Considered and Mary Louise Kelly, too. Especially when she demolished Pompeo.
Haven't listened much these days, though.
Marketplace on NPR. I like the more economic view of the news.
Theme Time Radio Hour with Bob Dylan!
...which hasn't been aired for years, so you'd have to download it. At which point it could might as well have been a podcast. But it is a radio show!
When I listen to the radio live (as I am doing as I write), I listen to music only, occasionally channels that have brief news every hour if I want to feel connected to the world.
At the moment I'm very much enjoying Paul Sinha's Perfect Pub Quiz
What a clever wee dumpling he is
Really like GunSmoke. Old-timey western. Use it to go to sleep sometimes.

Recordings of the last two shows… https://krvm.org/programs/program-calendar/
Is this an advert?
No. It’s an answer to the question with a link to recordings - largely copied from their site because I’m lazy. (BTW: KRVM is a non-profit community funded station. They have a lot of other good programs too.)
Thanks for sharing.
People don't understand that they can chose media or it will be chosen for them by some corpo algo because somebody else paid the corpo

Pretty sure you can listen to most radio stations online from anywhere
Used to be Car Talk. Then one of the brothers died and the show ended
If satellite radio counts it was Drew Carey's Friday Night Freakout, but he sadly is no longer making it.
radio show
They still have those?
Used to be the woody show but then ravey left and now there's no one to hold him accountable on BS he says.
The new cast are ass kissers for sure.
Fuck Mount baldy Sebas. Cocky cock.
