I love NPR and Sound Treks is just an example of why. Such crazy stories - bungee jumping, kayaking in Alaska, some kind of new snowboarding, blind Tibetan teenagers climbing a mountain (yeah, I really liked that one!), an ultramarathon in the Death Valley (I've heard about this in Runner's World and I don't get it!) etc. I'm not very adventurous - I'm not afraid of doing new things or falling off a horse, but I'm not very brave either. I live vicariously!
