The Stern show is just another podcast to me. i'd prefer they offer a clean
download, which i'd gladly pay for, but they don't so i come here, or
sometimes the torrents if Hamhand or Sklit have bouts of having a life.
i've got plenty of stuff to listen to, and if Stern goes away, there are
plenty of shows to replace it.
