My local public radio station is WiTF.  I love that.

I kinda like Science Friday.  Everything including climate change, comets, medical devices, the future of space travel, and dinosaurs are covered, all hosted by a goofy, friendly voice attached to a dude named Ira Flatow, whose name I thought was Ira Plato until I saw it in print recently.

I had forgotten that one, but I like it as well.  Very eclectic.  Sometimes they're talking about near-Earth astroid trajectories, sometimes it's Syrian rebles, and still other times it focuses on the marketing of violent video games to children, and to their parents.  It's no less agenda-driven than Fox News or MSNBC, but the way the announcer's smooth voice lulls me into a false sense of security even as he says "the world is horrible and getting worse and we're all going to die" is somehow reassuring.  Then again, that pretty much describes all NPR programming.  No wonder we all love it so much.
