Next to This American Life the BBC's From our Own Correspondent has quickly come to be my favorite radio program.
Always entertaining, witty, and thought provoking, From our Own Correspondent is a style of journalism I enjoy. It doesn't take itself too seriously and provides insights which one would be hard pressed to find in a 'straight' journalistic undertaking. That's not to say that I would want all of my news this way, sometimes NPR has a little too much chattiness for my liking (sorry, Steve Innskeep), but From our Own Correspondent is not trying to be hard news anyway.
Any day in which I am walking to work listening to my iPod and openly laughing is a good day. I'm thankful for those Brits and how Auntie Beeb has taken me under her wing.
