I always have the radio on. I listen to conservative talk radio during the weekdays, my favorite programs being Charlie Sykes and Mark Belling, but I listen to Rush and Clark Howard too. It drives my husband crazy...he prefers it quiet, but likes that I have something to talk about besides peanut butter sandwiches and princess stories when he gets home.
When I am driving in the car with children we listen to bluegrass music or their catechism music. When I am driving by myself I listen to pop music--my brother made me a mixed CD of rap music for Christmas which he titled: I Got It From My Momma. It is not appropriate for little ears (or big ears for that matter, but I listen anyway).
On the weekends I listen to NPR. I absolutely LOVE Saturday morning radio on NPR--which I consider the adult equivalent of Saturday morning cartoons: pure entertainment (albeit with a helping of Bush slander and anti-war songs, but somehow I am able to ignore those comments). So my morning chores are accompanied by Zorba Pastor on Your Health, the Car Talk guys, and my favorite program Whad'ya Know with Michael Feldman. My husband got me tickets to his show in Madison for Christmas and we went this past Saturday. It was really a fun time (though it was strange to sit next to a woman wearing an Obama 2008 button). We went for sushi afterwards--raw fish is a rare treat in my house.

I also enjoy conservative talk radio during the week (Clark Howard, Sean Hannity, and Neal Boortz) and NPR on weekends. I love bluegrass, too!
What is the catechism music your kids listen to?
Phil Magness has been setting the texts of the Small Catechism (Primary and Secondary Texts) to child-friendly music. Sections have been released in CPH's new Sunday school curriculum. A separate complete CD with book will be released this summer. We've sent copies home with the kids. Parents who might not normally teach the catechism by route have been using them.
