I started my daily media consumption today with "Performance Today," a classical music program on NPR. I find that classical music helps helps with early morning concentration and the commentator has an extremely soothing voice. It is a great alternative to the typical shock-jock morning hosts on other stations.
When I arrived on campus I picked up a copy of The Traveler and The New York Times. I scanned the comic strips and opinion pieces in The Traveler, though I didn't find much that could keep my attention. I moved on to The New York Times, specifically focusing on politics and sports. I also skimmed the front page, specifically I read into a story regarding Gov. Andrew Cuomo's relief operations in New York after Hurricane Sandy. I was particularly interested in this story because I have a few friends who live in the area affected by Sandy.
After class i tuned into "Talk of the Nation" on NPR. This particular edition dealt with the psychology of people who live in dangerous places, especially those near hurricane and earthquake prone areas. I thought that this was extremely interesting, the way risk and rewards are weighed inside the human brain is amazing.
I concluded my media consumption by watching the Daily Show. The segment talking about CIA Director David Petraeus' resignation due to his infidelity was hilarious. I always like to wrap up my night with some comedy.
