My favorite NPR feature from this past Valentines Day was neither happy nor sad. It wasn’t even a contrarian approach to the so-called holiday. You could, however, say it was about heartbreak and failed relationships. If you wanted to. It’s this blog post from Robert “Emergency” Krulwich, wherein he explores the wonder of love between [...]

No woman I would ever be involved with goes to school for an MRS degree. Convenient, then, that I ended up married to one of the more ambitious, self-motivated women, nay, people I’ve ever met.

While listening to “Books That Die,” the last story in the Nov. 27 episode of NPR’s “On The Media,” Kerry laughed, and said it sounded like a Ken Burns documentary. So I turned it into one. Brooke Gladstone’s “The Civil (Book) War” from Radio Sweethearts on Vimeo. I just downloaded the audio, and threw some [...]

Bob isn’t off this week; he’s just hunkered in a bunker. Brooke sunk her feelings into a clunker of an opening to this week’s episode. Sort of like how I just did, back there. Anyway, I don’t know what’s up with Bob being away from his regular microphone – and I know that coupling a [...]

New York Governor Paterson Makes Rumors Fun Again
New York Governor David Paterson is dealing with rumors that he’s about to be accused of something bad – he’s already admitted ‘marital infidelity’ and cocaine use. The rumors are going crazy, and much like with Britney Spears, we think we know, but we don’t know. It’s gotten to the point that the rumors themselves [...]
