Sometimes we have those little epiphanies in the shower.. sometimes they come from other places. This is a home for those epiphanies.

Different stations produce different shows and share them among each other. That’s federation, baby.

It took getting into the fediverse for me to learn how NPR works?

That’s actually a great analogy! I’m going totally gonna use that when I explain the fediverse to people

I take pride that a lot of the bigger shows seem to be out of my local affiliate. I wish I had the cash to support it, though.

WBUR Boston?

KCRW, out of LA; they're close with NPR since they're both on the West side. I swear I often hear the same voices.

My local stations small but growing. Plus they recently released The Last Ride which I think did well.
