My GF has Sirius (she got it for Howard Stern, who I get tired of after about 20 min.). While some of the music stations are good esp. for the lack of commercials, the news channels are pretty disappointing. Listening to NPR news tends to make me want to die and they seem to have dropped the BBC. The CBC is stereotypically dorky but still beats NPR.
I'm holding out for a cheapo digital player that plugs into the cigarette lighter to listen to podcasts.
