I listen to NPR a lot. I love that.

I've enjoyed programming on NPR, but 'we're broke' and therefore all spending must be reduced.

Politics aside, it will be hard for any new liberal radio network to outdo the professionalism of NPR.

And I tend to listen to NPR when I'm not writing.

I started out doing production work on promos, stuff like that. I didn't think it was cool to be working for NPR. I didn't need anything to be cool. I just wanted something to do that would be interesting. It was fun. I didn't think of it as anything else but fun.

I'm also working on a track for Howard Hewett, and a theme for a new NPR show.

I only got interested in radio once I talked my way into an internship at NPR's headquarters in Washington, D.C. in 1978, never having heard the network on the air.

I would appear on Fox News more easily than I would NPR.

The great thing about working with NPR - and, really, there's like a million of 'em - is all the cool stuff I get to do for the public. Meet the president. Hang out at the National Finals Rodeo in Vegas. Drink a $10,000 martini.

Proprietary programming like news can be a great weapon.
