I guess it all depends on your priorities. For me, life's too short for giggly trivia -- I understand it relaxes and entertains folks, but for me, it just makes me feel the brain cells going numb. If the radio's on, it's either news or FRESH AIR or THIS AMERICAN LIFE.

(And it's not that I specifically want to hear about politics -- even though I tend to agree with it, I find the babble on Air America barf-provoking too.)
