You hit the nail on the head!!
But All Things Considered is my favorite followed closely by Wait Wait
Thanks so much, lulilu, we looked everywhere for one we liked!
Our house was built in the 20s and is a stucco bungalow. It seems so many items are super-sized now, it can be a bit of a hunt to find things that fit the scale of our rooms!
mistikat, I love museum stores! A great place to find books, too. I love art history, and I've found some of my favorites while browsing.
Hi imagineme, the skit where the son would call home, or his mother would call him...the mother was unbearable to me, but when the father would get on the line, it so perfectly reminded me of conversations I'd have with my Uncle from Vermont. He'd literally provide one word answers, and a painful wracking of my mind would ensue about how to engage him further! He was very sweet, but chatty he was not!
I especially love Scott Simon on Saturday Weekend Edition. When he was away recently, I was saying to my DH, "Gee I hope Scott's okay".
We've been listening for so long, they all feel like family!I felt the same, lulilu, I wasn't sure why it needed to be American-ized! Maybe it was purely a production issue. There's talk of another season!
Thank you, Newton, will look it up!
Season 2 of the Durrells is currently on UK TV on a Sunday night if anyone has itv player access.
Hi CapriTrotteur, nice to see you! Glad to hear, hopefully it will come to iTunes, soon! Love it, just so sweet and funny!
Oh my, what is that fabulous green paint? Do you mind sharing?
Hey mistikat, I am also a needlepointer!
I find that I listen to things rather than watch when I am doing a complicated pattern.
My DH is always saying, that I "see" a completely different story to him when I am stitching.
Another couple of Brit drama's which are good:-
Ripper Street
Peaky Blinders
Line of Duty
When my SO and I used to go to the US a lot more a few years back, we travelled a lot through Arizona and California. We spent a lot of time driving in the SUV so we listened to radio a lot. We came across this late night radio program called The Phil Hendrie Show. We had never heard it before and didn't know it was all set up and performed at first. So we thought it was a genuine phone-in show. I remember he had this character who was "a gay man and a gay journalist" would phone in to say some thing with rather radical views and some Christian housewife would phone-in and have a massive argument with him. I remember we sat in our car killing ourselves laughing with tears in our eyes after we already reached our hotel from dinner somewhere. We were debating whether the phone-ins were real or not. Then we decided it simply couldn't be real. We then looked him up and saw that he played all these characters himself! He was so good with different voices. It would be very hard to tell they were done by one person if it wasn't for the ridiculous and hilarious conversations! When we came back to the UK, we looked it up and some of his shows were available as podcasts.
DH & I love Graham Norton, it is our major chat show over here broadcast on a Friday night.
The main rival is Jonathan Ross who used to have the slot but got bounced to ITV after a scandal......
Hey Mind, let me know if you need updating on anything, I will be the British Correspondent!
I love the Amazon Fire stick for when I am cross-training.
Nashville & Empire are my current watches whilst exercising.
I get to watch stuff that DH is not remotely interested in whilst pounding the pounds so to speak.
