One of the first things I do when I rent a car or check into a hotel room while travelling is to set the radio station to the local National Public Radio affiliate station. This way I can keep up with All Things Considered as well as discover some of the great programming offered by NPR that isn’t offered on my local public broadcasting station.
So I was especially pleased to discover that Public Radio 88 FM in Harlingen, Texas not only carries my favorite NPR programs from home but one of my favorite podcasts as well – BirdNote. Broadcast at 7:04 AM as well as 7:58 AM Monday through Friday, Public Radio 88 FM’s presentation of BirdNote ensures that all the birders living in as well as visiting the lower Rio Grande Valley have the opportunity to be both informed as well as entertained with the wealth of bird-related information contained in every BirdNote broadcast.
For those, like myself, who don’t always have the opportunity to hear episodes of BirdNote broadcast on their local radio stations, their daily podcast can be easily downloaded and enjoyed on their computers or MP3 player of choice.
Peace and good bird watching.
