The World
For news' afficianados, I'd highly recommend the program The World, which is broadcast on many public radio stations. It's a world news show designed for American audiences, but without the insularity or self-referential nature of many other public affairs shows on the airwaves. Host Lisa Mullins is one of the best interviewers I've ever heard. She's understated and lets her guest give thorough answers. But she's unafraid to challenge the guest; if I'm ever left asking my radio a question after a guest speaks, Mullins almost always asks it. Although her questioning is pointed, it's respectful. She's not like some broadcast journalists who are aggressive to the point of hostile, who think they, not the invited experts, are the star of the show.

This is a great show. Almost all of the CDs that I have bought in the past few years have come from their music review section at the end of each show. I can't think of anywhere else where you get to hear reviews of so many different kinds of good music.
