I didn't forget that because I didn't know it to begin with.

You said NPR, which one would reasonable assume means "National," not just NYC shows.

So maybe it's not that you're hearing what you want to hear, and you do know exactly what you're hearing. But not everyone else in the country listening to NPR is hearing what you're hearing.
