Saturday mornings are the best. I have NPR on all the time except when I've got the TV on, which means I've got NPR on all day and much of the night.
My station is KPLU, the all-jazz award winner out of Tacoma.
But Saturday mornings are the best. That's when the national crew shows their talents. Scott Simon always asks good questions in in-depth interviews of fascinating people with compelling stories.
This morning it was a wonderful new singer musician named Danielia Cotton, whose music stopped me cold. Follow the link and you can read it, listen and hear her music.
And then there's the delightful, hilarious — of course — Mel Brooks interview (not available until 9 a.m. PST).
Then there's the story I missed until I checked out the NPR Web site, which is one of the best of the best, right up there with the New York Times, in my opinion.
Uh, got carried away there. The cool missed story? Netflix keeps track of customer movie preferences by city. I can hardly wait to read it — also not available until 9 — follow the link and get a glimpse of the regional trends. How does Seattle compare to New York, or Houston?
