this month I donated to LA ist, which I only recently found out has a local radio station! I know I'd visited their website before, though not too often. but anyway, they also play NPR which I'm a big fan of altho, honestly, I don't really listen to too much, lol, since I have my many podcasts to get through. though some of my favorite podcasts are from NPR. it's kind of strange, I think, how little I used to listen to public radio since it totally seems like my kind of thing, but anyway, j listens to it all the time so that's where I developed more of an appreciation for it.
