SacredChaos: NPR Links

I really dislike the incivil form of shouting that many Americans call "talk radio", and generally find National Public Radio a refreshing alternative. As a matter of fact, the radio in my car is permanently tuned to Minnesota Public Radio, the local NPR affiliate in the state where I live. These are links to websites that were set up as online resources to go with some of the most popular shows in NPR. Enjoy.
