    I was just missing Bob Edwards listening to the radio this morning. His NPR shows were truly the antonym of “puppet words.” That’s why he got fired.

    My little one listens to NPR in the car until she gets bored and demands the White Album (with a particular fondness for Bungalow Bill, which she calls “Hey, bun, little Bill”).
