Suggested by Lori, who listens to WGBP in Green Bay, Wisconsin:
"My 15 year old daughter is in sheer agony every time I turn the radio on to NPR. She rolls her eyes and groans, even when I explain to her how important it is to be informed. She was with me in the car listening to the story about Jesse Jean and she was spellbound."
