General Discussion

I've heard frequent discussions of authoritarianism and how it rises, the many things Trump says without evidence (which they sometimes even call a lie). Great guests and in-depth discussions on many topics.

NPR listeners hear a multifaceted approach to issues rather than simplistic and one-sided. Plus so many of their stories are fascinating and often I just have to listen to the whole thing, even if I have to drive an extra two miles and back to have enough time.

My husband and I have had many great conversations about something we've learned by listening.

No media is perfect, of course. But
1) a few hawkish voices that used to be on during the W. era (Cokie Roberts, etc.) have either died or retired, and
2) those who diss NPR on a regular basis may just have fallen prey to a disinformation campaign against one of the premier sources of news we have in this country…one the GOP has tried repeatedly to get rid of public funding for. In fact if Project 2025 proponents get their way, they may yet succeed.
