Stories from and for the road: NPR Road Trips
If you're like me, you already think that an NPR story is a good listen. But add a quirky travel destination or persona to the mix, and you're one happy NPR-listener. A new CD series--NPR Road Trips--has just been released by NPR and HighBridge Audio. It includes: Roadside Attractions, National Park Adventures, and Postcards from Around the Globe.
I imagine the stories being enjoyed best at the source of their inspiration: on a good cross-country trip--the kind where you're six hours in, and the only thing keeping you from insanity is counting sheep and sucking down that mediocre cup of coffee you picked up from the last truck stop.
Travel along to the World's Largest Ball of Twine in Cawker City, Kansas or camel-racing robots in Dubai. And to keep things lively, the stories come in short bursts--eight minutes at most.
You can pick up one of the CDs from bookstores--either the real thing or online--or the publisher or NPR itself.
