Terry Gross and Ira Glass [editor's mistake, corrected] fans, rejoice--now there's an Internet radio just for you, and it's an actual radio. Livio's new device is an NPR-branded system, devoted specifically to National Public Radio programming. The radio lets users tune in to 1,000 local NPR streams and access more than 800 podcasts and archives from the media organization's Web sites.
The radio also features a "my NPR" button, which offers easy access to users' favorite NPR stations. Of course, the device offers more than just NPR broadcasts--there are a total of 16,000 Internet stations available through the device, via Reciva.
The NPR Radio by Livio, which ships in early November, will cost $199. Profits go to NPR stations and programming. Order through Livio's site or at shop.npr.org.
