About me: Where other news sources offer sound bytes and sensationalism, Irrational Public Radio informs, challenges, soothes and/or berates, and does so with a pleasing vocal cadence and unmatched enunciation. When you listen to IPR, integrity washes over you like lava, with the pleasing familiarity of a medium-roast coffee and a sensible muffin.website, for more info and to check out our PODCAST.

Our premiere CD "Good Morning, You Smell Nice." is now on sale.
Who I'd like to meet: Fans of public radio (we count ourselves among those ranks). We love public radio. We love NPR, PRI, & MPR. We are fans of All Things Considered, Morning Edition, This American Life, and Prarie Home Companion. We like the commentaries, the features, the independent member station programs. We love them all dearly. But we also think they're begging to be made fun of. So here we are.
IPR : Irrational Public Radio's Friend Space (Top 10)
We have gone quite a long time now, listening to public radio without an adjustment of our perspective by IPR. If this keeps up, we will lose our capacity to chuckle cynically during "Morning Edition," thus beginning an inevitable slide down the slippery slope to world Communism.
When considering all things, include the foregoing.
Thanks a ton for adding us & thanks for the nice comment, too.
We hope you like the music that's on our MySpace, songs "4:20", "I Wish I Were Gay", and "On The Green" (a golf rap) -- all from on our upcoming CD (Chubbed Up).
Sorry for littering with self-promotion, but a regional band like us can always use any help, so we really appreciate it & the MySpace Friendship.
Brazen self-promotion: We are happy to announce that some of our music will be on the television version of This American Life, Sunday May 4th and May 11th, Showtime Cable Network
heyy, how's it going out there? Thanks for stopping through and reaching out with some kind words. Keep up the quality out there. Spread smiles... Peace
Listen up, folks! As an arbiter of all that is intellectually and culturally valuable, I can assure you of this:
In the days and years to come, ownership of IPR's new CD -- "Good Morning. You Smell Nice" -- will be the hallmark of a person whose presence in the world is not a waste of precious space.
One caveat: After hearing the CD, you may not be able to listen to NPR without a snicker or, at the very least, a smirk. Sort of the way Monty Python made it impossible for me to take the BBC seriously.
Congrats IPR, I heard you've hatched a new CD. Maybe I can have the yolk? Thank you for letting the little monkey continue to have such a grand hairstyle, it's similiar to mine.
Fran and her minions always gave me the willies. I was a Sherry Lewis and Lambchop man (though in Cincinnati we also had Larry Smith and Batty Hattie, from Cincinnati)...
Greetings IPR! I like your monkey! When you have a chance, check out the "life's a joke" trailer. I think you'll get a kick out of it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lHQtENNNPAw All the best, Chris Mitchell "life's a joke"
Seriously, you guys make me laugh so hard, I soil myself everytime I listen to IPR... which would be quite an accomplishment if it weren't for my incontinent bladder. So as a result, a lawsuit has been filed against you in Seward County Municipal Court for $54 million under the Americans with Disabilities Act for the cost of replacement underwear and shoes... and oh yeah, emotional damages. See you in court, suckers.
And to think, I was going to send you that digital audio longframe patchbay that has been gathering dust in my attic plus five cans of Dinty Moore beefy-like substance smothered in gravy for your canned food drive... but then you had to go and pull a train on my beloved Joan... I hope you're happy...
