From: "John Beamish" 

I sometimes think that NPR should refer to themselves as Nation's Precious Resource.

Here's a "fer instance".

On WBFO there's a "Meet the Author" program which I occasionally
catch in the car and now will not miss since it's on podcast.  The most
recent episode is an interview with Michael Wallis, author of "Billy
the Kid: The Endless Ride."  If you do nothing else today, grab this
podcast and listen to the first 10-12 minutes as Michael Wallis reads some
of the book he wrote.

His writing is good, very good.  But the author's voice -- a garrulous,
seemingly whiskey-soaked-cigarette-ravaged sound that percolates and
bubbles up from deep within -- brings a tone to the story that your own
inner voice, as you simply read the words on the printed page, could never
conjure up.

The podcast url is http://publicbroadcasting.net/wbfo/podcasts/275.xml and
I use iTunes to download and listen.
