Default Who says NPR is boring?

This audio piece is about recently uncovered dirty recordings from the 1890's. That's not a mistype- 1890's:

http://www.npr.org/templates/story/s...131880&sc=emaf

It really reminds me of how the more things change, the more they stay the same-- a new sound technology (wax cylinders) comes out, and right away people record sex and profanity. And we thought people were so prim and proper back then!

I seldom listen to NPR (a friend emailed me the link to the story). Maybe I'll start tuning in...

I listen everyday. My favorite segment are the readings from the writer's almanac and the historical notes.

Frank Deford has some amusing moments from time to time as well.
