I love NPR's choices of inter-story music on Morning Edition and All
Things Considered. There's usually some connection to the story just
ended, however indirect, and it's great fun to figure out what that
connection is. Sometimes it's easy. A story on a musician will often end
with some music by that person. The story on the controversy over
Homo floresiensis this morning ended with a few bars of the Shire
theme from the Lord of the Rings soundtrack, and I laughed out loud.

Do they still do "All Songs Considered"? I can't remember if it's broadcast on some stations, or if it's web-only, but it seems to me that a couple years back it was a weekly show, and they'd play the full pieces and sometimes explain the more obscure ones. I agree they do a great job with that--what fun that would be!

I wish I had heard that!
