This was a very delightful exercise, almost like a trip down memory lane, because my days of driving forever to get to a store or pretty much any destination have been left behind since moving to Georgia.\u00a0 Everything is so conveniently located here!\u00a0 I barely drive more than 15 minutes at a time.\u00a0 But back in the days of looong drives on almost a daily basis, NPR was a wonderful companion.<\/p>\n

It was difficult to choose one podcast from the NPR site since there are so many great ones.\u00a0 But, I went with one from the pop culture happy hour, just for fun.\u00a0 I choose a David Greene piece about the Delilah radio show, featuring an interview with Delilah.\u00a0 I\u2019ll confess that I\u2019ve listened to that during at least a few nighttime drives.\u00a0 Schmaltzy but still \u2026 it draws you in!<\/p>\n

So, enough back story. \u00a0One thing I liked about this podcast was its smooth transitions between segments.\u00a0 It\u2019s seamless.\u00a0 For instance, at one point, Delilah says that everyone thinks she\u2019s so nice but she feels like screaming that she\u2019s really just exhausted (a false dichotomy, but this isn\u2019t about logic …).\u00a0 Greene picks up the next segment by talking about all the things she juggles in her life.\u00a0 Another thing I liked was the clarity with no competing sound in the background.\u00a0 Along with that, there was no talking over one another as might be the case on some podcasts in which rapid fire dialogue results in more than one person talking at once.\u00a0 Of course, this is NPR, so we can expect exemplary standards!<\/p>\n

The podcast is available by scrolling down to Aug. 17, 2016 on NPR’s Pop Culture Happy Hour website<\/a>.<\/p>\n
