NPR has a term for those moments when radio stories prove so compelling that listeners remain seated in their cars, engines idling in driveways, unable to leave until the final word. For years, people have contacted the network to share these experiences. Steve Inskeep from Morning Edition has gathered animal-focused stories that originally aired on programs including All Things Considered, Morning Edition, Talk of the Nation, and Wait Wait Don't Tell Me. These tales span the emotional spectrum. Some will trigger uncontrollable laughter. Others will bring tears. All center on creatures that captured the attention of NPR's audience so completely that normal routines stopped. The collection represents those radio moments when the outside world fades away and only the story matters.
