Reviews for NPR Laughter Therapy

[murderbydeath · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

A collection of NPR's funnier interviews, April Fool's day gags, news stories, etc. Like in any collection, there were some I found funnier than others and 1 just fell sort of flat.

It's a short, easy listen and it was fun to hear a few voices that aren't with us any more (Joan Rivers, Phyllis Diller). I miss NPR, so seeing this in my local library was a nice boost to the spirit.

These are short clips from various NPR shows. Not the best material...

I'm an NPR fanatic, and I really enjoyed listening to this audio book of interviews with Phyllis Diller, Joan Rivers, Eugene Levy, Mel Brooks, and more; and all the humorous news story -- some real, some not! Only two hours and very enjoyable!
