Who's on NPR?
I was in the car and am not in an area where AAR broadcasts, so tuned to NPR just now. Some right-leaning host was talking to a guest who has written a book about the disaster of "conservative" "privatization" wrought over the last 30 years. Did anyone catch this? Know who it was?

Tnx

1. They have a program schedule on their website
And you can usually download the entire show later in the day.

3. Seems like most of the hosts on NPR are right-leaning
if not flat out wingers. One of their latest memes has been that this election is a referendum on Obama. WTF??? I have written and suggested it might be a referendum on an illegal war, lack of health care, a broken economy, national debt etc. Obama caused none of those.
