Bon Bon: Wait, Wait!
I do a lot of MediaNotes that are derived from National Public Radio stories. So I'm pretty sure that the MC101s are sold on the idea that NPR is very informative. But I'm not sure they know that it can be darned entertaining.
Wait, Wait ... Don't Tell Me! is a great example of the lighter side of NPR. It's a comedy show based on current events, and it is at its best when skewering political stories. Given that the midterm elections are next week, this might be a perfect time to listen to the web version of the program.

Three other great, lighter side shows you can hear are "Car Talk," with Tom and Ray Magliozzi; "Le Show," with Harry Shearer; and "Says You!" with Richard Sher. You can hear both on NPR station 89.9 KCRW, or online at www.kcrw.com.
