It is more than irritating. I am losing my hearing due to a genetic trait, the type of noise you describe has made listening to the radio nearly impossible. I only wish the programmers would do a real world study to see how ineffective it is for their listeners.Robynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15676098515413550062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5861130.post-42672496212466691782006-09-11T15:46:00.000-05:002006-09-11T15:46:00.000-05:00My NPR time has dropped since the road trip, but m...My NPR time has dropped since the road trip, but my husband will come home and talk to me about the stories I missed. Wait Wait Don't Tell Me is a must-hear, though, so I subscribed to the free podcast on iTunes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5861130.post-85962971691333469002006-09-10T07:17:00.000-05:002006-09-10T07:17:00.000-05:00I used to listen to NPR all the time.

At work, I had to listen to the store's music, the complaints of sometimes rude customers, and the whining/fighting of children with parents. Once I got to my car, I just wanted to here something soft, smooth, refined, patient, steady.... The voices of Ann Taylor, Terry Gross, Corey Flintoff, Snigdha Prakash, and the like came to my rescue! IBrianJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11141688398007490973noreply@blogger.com
