There was another similar project posted recently, Godspeed You! Black President, which pitted GY!BE's F♯ A♯ ∞ against Barak Obama's reading of Dreams of My Father.

Oh but yeah, youarelistening.to/ is truly inspired, and I'm glad it's getting the recognition it deserves. Here's hoping the project survives the inevitable scale-up.

Yay! I listen to that podcast but am a few episodes behind.

Good because it's wonderful and everybody deserves to know about it. It makes being at work feel so ... significant.

Hmm...that seemed like a great idea in concept, but in execution I think I was hoping for more Deleuze & Guttari and less spiritual mumbo jumbo.

I think we need a new category for Metatalk : "Vaguely Metafilter-Related."

I love it. I listen to Los Angeles when I'm working and it's fantastic.

We're a veritable treasure trove of public radio content around here lately. They might as well start calling it MPR.
