I have been an unabashed fan of NPR for many years, and have stolen untold excellent ideas from its programming.

Through dangers untold and hardships unnumbered I have fought my way here to take back what you have stolen.

More than four thousand programs produced and consumed. Some of them were pretty good, a great many of them were forgettable; but a handful may even be worth a book.

Typically, if you buy a studio with a library, their library is pretty well licensed out many years in advance, so you are not really gaining access to the programming in that way.

The world is locked into a state of cyber dependency

The Internet, as we now know it, carries a trove of inherent dangers. Those dangers are just beginning to reveal themselves, and their scale and scope may someday call into question our easy acceptance of its benefits.
