NPR is , especially for the jazz and classical music they play.
Their news is pretty good, and it's definitely more in-depth than you'll
get in your 90-second news brief on other stations. Don't particularly
care for their pundits.

Of course, from time to time, I'll listen to "whatever's on" - usually
the Cumulus-owned country station or adult contemporary. Sometimes,
though, I'll switch to Alabama State University's student station - they
play some really good jazz, and it's about the only place on the dial
I've found it.
