Livio NPR Radio

There's NPR radio. And then there's NPR Radio &mdash as in an actual device named NPR Radio. (Does that make it National Public Radio ... Radio?)

If you're an NPR fan, then you might want to check out Livio's "The NPR Radio," which provides listeners access to more than 1,000 NPR station streams along with hundreds of NPR podcasts and audio archives. Worldly individuals might also be interested to hear that the radio is Reciva Internet Radio-enabled, providing access to more than 16,000 stations around the globe.

The device gives owners the option for both a wireless and wired Internet connection, and can update itself without hooking up to a computer. At $199, the price tag may sound a bit steep for a radio. But broke college students and folks on a tight budget will be happy to know that all the programming you get is free. Part of the sales proceeds from the device also go toward supporting NPR stations and programming.

You can check out the device at the NPR shop or the Livio site .
