NPR has some good programs, but 99% of the time I forget to turn it on at the right time. no

The only good thing on NPR is the jazz programming. The political talk is starkly left leaning.

I'm not American, so I don't get it (I've heard of it, though).....

The 'rest of world' equivalent is probably the BBC World Service..... bitchin radio, that! Sometimes u even get some old Zep live stuff.

Not really, "Car Talk" is fun/funny (and I don't even like cars...) and "Prairie Home Companion" is often very funny as well. My mom listens to "Wait Wait Don't Tell Me" and has told me some really funny parts....and I know there are a few other non-political programs that I've enjoyed.

I left out car talk sad

I was referring mainly to the fact that the political analysis sucks. I listen to it sometimes so I can get both sides of the aisle.

Hyperbole for the win.
