What’s a “driveway moment”? It’s when you’re so captivated by a story you’re hearing on NPR that you stay in your car to hear it to the end—even if you’re sitting in your driveway with the motor running. For years, listeners have written to NPR to describe such moments. Now animal lovers especially will want to make sure their tanks are full. Heard on All Things Considered, Morning Edition, Talk of the Nation, and Wait WaitąDon’t Tell Me!, hosted by Morning Edition's Steve Inskeep, these stories will make you laugh out loud and shed a tear or two.

National Public Radio (NPR) is an American privately and publicly funded non-profit membership media organization that produces and distributes news and cultural programming.
This collection of radio features is an eclectic and, at times, charming set of stories about animals and people. Some are funny, like the one about the dog that got intoxicated licking toads and eventually got addicted. Others are poignant, like the one about the woman who inherited a parrot when her mother died. Others are just odd, like the one about the drive-up boar semen dealer. All come from features on National Public Radio programs from 1988 to 2006. As audiobook listeners know, the title comes from the concept of stories you cant turn off. Youve reached your destination, but you dont want to turn the audio off until the end of the story. All the stories are short but complete. Each is presented with a preface that provides any needed context for the story. R.C.G. © AudioFile 2007, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine
