I gave to WNYC for years, but I don't get it out here. I have Connecticut's WSHU and WNPR and give to them.
Brian Lehrer is great, but so is Diane Rehm, Terri Gross, Robin Young, Neil Conan, and Science Friday.
Then, of course, there's On the Media, This American Life, and Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me.
I give them every penny I can, and I can't listen enough.
