Review of NPR GeeksAnother example of why listeners tune in to Public Radio. Well produced and makes me want to 'tune-in' especially if I have never heard of Ira Glass or TAL! Well done. A great example of how stations can use this to help promote-fundraise other programs. |

Review of NPR GeeksI enjoyed this piece as I felt that I could identify with other listeners as they confessed their crushes on Ira Glass. It was fun to listen to other TAL listeners who also succumbed to some type of infatuation with him. |

Review of NPR Geeks
What about the Neil Conan groupies!? Doing a vox pop about This American Life fans is a good idea, because for most listeners public radio equals TAL, and if not TAL than ATC. It would be interesting to hear from the serious NPR geeks though... the people who want Terry Gross to run for president, or think Garrison Keillor is a great singer.
