9:00 am | Car Talk |
 | Tom & Ray Magliozzi
Will Car Talk keep going forever?
What? It hasn't been forever already? Bet it feels that way to our listeners!
Seriously, Car Talk will keep going as long as NPR wants us. Tom and Ray have a great time talking to all those terrific people from all over the country. And the rest of the staff would really miss the free doughnuts.

11:00 am | This American Life |
 | Ira Glass
It's a weekly show. It's an hour. Its mission is to document everyday life in this country. We sometimes think of it as a documentary show for people who normally hate documentaries. A public radio show for people who don't necessarily care for public radio.
