NPR ROAD TRIPS: POSTCARDS FROM AROUND THE GLOBE

Armed with a microphone and a tape recorder, NPR correspondents bring the listener along on travels to locations far and wide. Whether riding a bus on China's Silk Road, dancing in the streets of Rio de Janeiro during Carnival, or listening to 1970s rock music in Kathmandu, the listener is instantly transported through the correspondents' lively descriptions and the sounds of everyday life in far-flung locales. Hear the sounds of a creaky long-distance bus, the splash of water against a kayak in the Arctic Ocean, and the din of the markets and back streets of old Beijing. It's an experience not to be missed! S.E.G. © AudioFile 2009, Portland, Maine [Published: JUNE 2009]
