Title: NPR Interview with the authors of "Smart Bomb
Post by: Lord Nepenthean on November 22, 2005, 09:22:44 AM
Last week, my dad heard a piece on Talk of the Nation about video games.  He asked me if I had heard it, but since I hadn't, he told me a bit about it.  As an NPR listener, I knew they have audio archives of all their shows online, so I went ahead and found the piece.  It's about 36 minutes long, and worth listening.  Intelligent, unbiased conversation about gaming, and none of the Thompson-esque BS that other news outlets like 60 Minutes have spouted.  An article accompanies the piece, though I can't comment on that because I didn't read it.  Be sure not to miss the "Listen" button at the top of the page, because the text is not a transcript:

I like NPR.
They are pretty good at giving all sides of an issue a chance rather than getting one sided on anything.

Checking this out now.

NPR usually puts me to sleep but I will have to listen to that clip.
