When I was growing up, NPR was the only radio station that my parents listened to. Eventually I quietly rebelled and struck out to expand my horizons by listening to 88.5, the UPenn college radio, but Planet Money, All Things Considered, and CarTalk were the background to many cooking sessions in my kitchen.
So I was saddened greatly to hear that NPR's pet toxic asset, Toxie, died on Friday.
Hats off and a moment of silence.
