NPR is actually quite influential in the edutainment section. Some really good content came out of their works.
A bunch of successful media empires owe their success to NPR and PBS.
So many shows modeled after This Old House So many cooking shows. So many podcasts modeled after This American Life and Radiolab.
It goes on and on.

#6I listen to NPR’s podcasts a lot and would love to pay a monthly subscription just to pay them back. I just wish there was an NPR+ subscription rather than a per-show subscription through the Podcast app. I have no problem paying $10/month for commercial-less shows but I don’t want to pay that much just to hear Wait Wait Don’t Tell Me without ads.

The way to do this is just to become a member of one of NPR’s member stations, which provide the network its main source of funding (with the Corporation for Public Broadcasting being a distant second, IIRC). The member stations are also responsible for creating much of the content distributed by the network, though National NPR in DC produces the major drive-time news shows (Morning Edition and All Things Considered).
