If you go on break with the group at my workplace you'll find a lot of people who listen to NPR and talk about it the same way that you describe. "When Bob Edwards talked to ___ this morning," or "Garrison's monologue Saturday night was so funny!" or "Tom and Ray had a caller who...," referring to Morning Edition, Prairie Home Companion, and Car Talk.
I listen to WBEZ from Chicago, mostly, but can also get WUWM from Milwaukee and WHAD from Delafield. WHAD features "To the Best of Our Knowledge" on Sunday afternoons--excellent 12-minute features about all kinds of subjects. "This American Life" casts its net widely, too.
As a long-time NPR listeners my DH and I were thrilled to be invited to a small (12 people) dinner with Terry Gross (host of Fresh Air). She spoke at the president's program at a conference I attended; the president was (is) a personal friend who asked if we'd like to join them.
