For those who cant get enough of NPR and would like to hear my whiny, nasal obnoxious voice, here is your chance! At 12:30 AM every weeknight the NPR network runs the same ad for "Car Talk".
The ad talks about "elegant solutions" to your car problems. My voice is in the second half of the ad. Ray says "You would think that with all this information we would have homed in on the problem". I giggle through "Of course you have". Tom says "You would be wrong!" This relates to a heater problem I had several years ago. I had the same problem in the same model car that was nine years newer! Geez! Thank goodness GM provided a fix.

We are paying for it, but very little. They have a privately funded endowment, semi-annual fund raisers and less than seven percent still comes from the gummint. None from the states, and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting gets its funding from commercial broadcast lincencees. NPR also sells a lot of its programming to overseas ventures.
When you buy a GM product that was advertised on CBS, NBC, FOX or ABC you are helping to support NPR. Isnt Capitalism bizarre?
