I listen to NPR a lot. I love that.

I listen to NPR when I listen to the radio, but I don't listen to the radio that much. You know, I listen to Garrison Keillor, I listen to 'Prairie Home Companion.'

I listen to National Public Radio, which, to me at least, presents the most rounded view of things.

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.

Unless the radio is on, I am usually listening to stuff that is very different to what I do.

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

I turn on the radio. I'm a really big fan of old-fashioned dial radio. I love WNYC and NPR and also 88.3 in New York, which is the jazz station, and it's usually good for background music. If I'm not in New York City or by a traditional radio, I'll stream it on my phone, although I usually try not to look at my phone first thing in the morning.

I love listening to new stuff, at home in LA I always have the radio on to hear what is happening.
