	I read the news blogs a few times each week, and check out my friends' blogs three or four times per month. The other blogs I check out once or twice a month. Aside from these I listen to NPR and the BBC for about an hour or two each day, and I catch Frontline or other PBS current events programming fairly often (two-to-four times a month). Newspapers? I have subscribed to Springfield's State Journal Register, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, the Champaign-Urbana News Gazette, and the New York Times, but currently the only newspaper I read regularly is the Friday edition of the Christian Science Monitor.

	Other programs I enjoy: This American Life Le Show Schickele Mix
	And for reading, here are the popular magazines to which I subscribe (or have subscribed), or which I read in the library: The Atlantic Monthly Mother Jones Harpers Monthly The Nation Smithsonian Science News Discover The New Yorker Prehistoric Times The Economist New Internationalist Wild Earth (this journal no longer exists, but The Wildlands Network still does.) I occasionally find the liberal bias in magazines to which I subscribe (such as Mother Jones and The Nation) to be annoying, but more often I think it gives the reporting and commentary a better insight to the truth.
