Terry Gross
For my fortieth birthday my husband gave me a Sirius radio. I am obsessed. This is probably the best present I've ever received. There is little radio reception where we live. Well...little reception of anything I want to hear. Namely, I can't get NPR. Honestly, I cannot overstate the delight I now have as I drive back and forth to school, baseball, soccer, church, the grocery store, everywhere. My car looks like a roving living room. Oh well. It doesn't matter. I can listen to Terry Gross. This morning she was interviewing Viggo Mortensen. What could be better? I guess just the way Terry Gross says, "I'm Terry Gross and this is Fresh Air." She says it with such relish. And why not? She's got quite the gig.

If you have an ipod, you can sign up for free podcasts and never miss a "Fresh Air" episode and listen whenever you want, as well as other great shows like This American Life and NY Times Book Review, etc. I have more podcasts than I will ever listen to.
But I'm glad you're enjoying Sirius. I somehow instantly associate it with Howard Stern.
Yeah, that's why I didn't want Sirius. because I hated the idea of giving any credit to Howard Stern. But only Sirius has NPR...and alas, I have no ipod.
Aaaaah. Terry Gross.
