I generally only listen to NPR because of the sorry state of commercial radio. If I go through a large city or university town I try to find a college station, they still play unique music at times.

I've ranted many times about the sorry state of radio in the US. That whole deregulation of the airwaves drove the final nail in the coffin of commercial radio, in my opinion. I feel like the radio execs treat us all like we're idiots, spoonfeeding us p
