This post was inspired by my Guidebook being a speed dial gift on KQED’s Winter Pledge Drive. I’m so proud to be part of the great tradition of public radio!

Before television (and Twitter) people gathered around the radio for entertainment.  I’m too young to have those memories directly, but I loved the TV drama The Waltons, about a depression-era Virginia mountain family.  Also, firmly in my memory bank is the War of the Worlds Play read by Orson Welles in 1938. (Available as a podcast.)

Today, I’m hooked on radio story-telling.  I love This American Life on my local public radio station, and even if it’s getting a little long-in-the-tooth, Hubby and I still listen to the Sunday edition of Garrison Keillor’s Prairie Home Companion.

There are a lot of interesting new shows on Internet radio but I have a hard time finding them–there are so many it’s overwhelming.  Any suggestion are welcome.  I’ve done a few interviews (audio & video)…fun Tips & Picks from Girl with a Glass!
