Tuning In

    NPR is now pushing 194 podcast feeds.  One that’s particularly intriguing is the "Most E-Mailed Stories" feed.  Each day, the folks over there edit together a collection of the stuff that others are recommending through e-mail.  That’s a neat way to select the "winner" stories.  I like it because they have so much good programming — and I have so little time.
    Today’s first story was amazing.  Here’s a snippet:

 "If you saw me you’d never know I’d had a lobotomy," Dully says. "The
only thing you’d notice is that I’m very tall and weigh about 350
pounds. But I’ve always felt
different — wondered if
something’s missing from my soul. I have no memory of the operation,
and never had the courage to ask my family about it. So two years ago I
set out on a journey to learn everything I could about my lobotomy."

    Breathtaking.
