I like to listen to talk radio/news radio at work. For whatever reason, the talk doesn’t distract me but music does. I have recently discovered the power of streaming audio. I was hoping that similarly inclined Dopers could provide me with links to their favorites.

To get things started, here are a few of mine:

[CNET Radio](http://www.cnet.com/cnettv/0-1519376.html?tag=dir)

[Comedy Central Radio](http://channels2.netradio.com/windowsmedia/comedycentral/ccRadiot.cfm)

[ESPN News Audio](http://a68.a.kamai.com/7/68/52/52a4e628dba7d4/www.apple.com/quicktime/favorites/espn1/espn1.mov)

Anything interesting would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Go to [KTRS.com](http://KTRS.com) and listen to the Frank O. Pinion show. It comes on at 2:15 and goes until 6:30. It’s a great comedy show from St. Louis. It takes a while to catch on to all the gags, but once you do, it’s hilarious!

I’m a [NPR](http://www.npr.org/) junkie, so here are my favorites:

[Michigan Radio](http://michiganradio.org/) will give you the Todd Mundt show, which is usually interesting. Diane Rehm often hads really good guests, though the dear sounds like she’s about to die. My local NPR station only plays half of Talk of the Nation, so here I can hear all of it. Then there’s all the usual NPR stuff.

Catch up with [Whadya Know](http://www.notmuch.com/Show/index.pl) whenever you want and hear our own **Rastahomie** win the Big Kielbasa.

[This American Life](http://www.thislife.org/) is priceless and they have nearly every episode ever on their site.

That should give you a start.
