I admit it: I like at some level the work that NPR (more accurately various program-producing member stations) does. It's useful information, and it's reliably biased, so you know how to take it. Devil you know and all that. The recently-fired Bob Edwards could report on Presidents Clinton and Bush saving a child, and Clinton would be hailed as a valiant saint for saving that lone kid while thousands others died; conversely, George W. Bush would be excoriated for failure to save them all even if he only missed one.
That being said, NPR's member stations are occasionally useful for something other than entertainment, and today I've found something of value. A program dubbed Radio Times (of which I have never heard) recently interviewed the head of Amtrak, David L. Gunn, and has posted the audio of same on the World Wide Web for all to hear.
I'm not sure how long it is and I haven't listened yet, but it was passed on to me as being a good interview. Without further adieu, click here for the goods. It's a *.ram file, so you'll need one of those cursed RealAudio players.
