NPR Addict

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.

Ooops, 0.6 has an annoying bug for those who have RealPlayer installed on Windows... It pops up a dialog saying that you don't have it installed. I uploaded version 0.6a on 8/23/2006 to fix this. As usual, you can also download immediately from http://www.evolutedesign.com/html/widgets.html. Or you can just wait until it propogates to this site and 0.6 notifies you of any update.

(Thanks to the other Bill for notifying me of this).
