NPR Addict
by Bill Lee
For you NPR addicts out there, you can use this Widget to select an NPR program by date to stream via Windows Media or RealPlayer on Windows or Mac. There are several other public radio streams and archives that are added over time (e.g., CarTalk, A Prairie Home Companion, and others).
Note: this Widget does not play the streams, in simply invokes your audio player to do so.
See comments section for late breaking announcements.

November 16, 2007 · version 0.9c wrleeWell, we should almost be past the bug that some people are incurring... not able to open the widget, this new year.

For Car Talk (only Real Player, no MS Media Player option), for any date selected, I get a repeating RealPlayer error message (until shutdown or crash) for ANY episode date:

November 16, 2007 · version 0.9c wrleeThank you for your rating!
I just checked... Car Talk is having some problems--I could not even get to their audio from their web site! Car Talk is a bit of a weird bird. They only make their most recent show available. My widget expects that shows stay posted once they are available, so the older dates for Car Talk will probably not be valid.
