Yeah, I love NPR. Have you heard their "This American Life" series with Ira Glass? I'm an American sociology major, so it's quite interesting to me to hear about stuff like that. Every week, they cover a different subject. One of my favorites is are when a group of prisoners performed Hamlet, and they put their own spin into the characters and brought surprising insights into the story. I also like the one about summer camp. You can download most of their episodes here.
