Default Whir on NPR

Whir was used on New Hampshire NPR, in the background for a minute long filler in during which a few adds were read, the weather was discussed, and a clip from a forthcoming program about how much AIG sucks was played. This happened about 20 minutes ago.

It made me happy to hear it, and to know that NPR would not have paid anything for its use.

This isn't news worthy, but not much is these days.

Much to my surprise, I heard "Pennies" on NHPR about 6 months ago. Same deal.
