you know you're a public radio listener when...

...you listen to every minute of the fund drives because you wouldn't know what else to listen to.

Tom Ashbrook is locally produced so you have to go through the WBUR website. Wait Wait Don't Tell Me is available at http://www.npr.org/. This American Life is at http://www.pri.org/tal.html. A Prairie Home Companion is at http://prairiehome.publicradio.org/. You may have to find a station that carries it (and isn't begging this week) and go to their website. The internet should allow you to avoid listening to fundraisers and listen to programs if you want to.

On an unrelated note, I assume you saw Bonnie's posting about a possible Scrabble night.

I thought that all NPR stations do their fund raiser on the same week. Perhaps that is just the way it was done when I was younger.

I don't think so but I could be wrong. I do recall sometimes switching between WBUR and WGBH for "All Things Considered" and "Morning Edition" though it's possible they were fundraising at different times during the hour rather than during different weeks.
