couldn't wait to get in the car! March 17, 2008
I live in a foreign country, and always missed hearing NPR on a daily basis. But now, I love having this in the car, the whole family does. It's also great to have it so that you can hear it again and again. I find that sometimes the second time around is even better!
NPR gives "moments" period July 19, 2005

I cannot write enough to praise the radio essays that have been broadcast regularly on NPR. I've been a fan for the past four or five years. So, I not only have "driveway" moments, but "parking lot" moments, "at home after work" moments; you name it. If NPR is on my radio, I literally find I cannot leave my car.
My only regret was the CD didn't contain the complete broadcast of the amusing "Santaland Diaries."
 NPR has the best programming January 23, 2005

There is no other radio station that has better programming than NPR. The creativity, humour and complexity of their stories gives them a head up on all other media outlets. This CD is poignant, funny and interesting. The stories really do hold you in the car and in your driveway. There were times where we had to pullover because the story was so funny. In other situations there was not a dry eye in the car. I highly reccomend this CD. Although, "Driveway Moments 2" 2005 is not nearly as good. In fact I was completley dissapointed in the sequal.
I really had a driveway moment with this CD October 2, 2004

This CD is a wonderfully eclectic collection of some of the best stories of NPR. A "driveway moment" is when there is something so compelling on the radio that you sit in your driveway, listening, rather than leave the car.
That's exactly what happened to me when I heard "My So-Called Lungs." It's indescribably touching, and I was left with tears streaming down my face, in awe of how the young girl making this audio diary could be so brave.
The stories span an almost unbelievable arc of emotion, from the drama of the story I just mentioned, to David Sedaris's Santaland Diaries, which is so hilarious that it's commonly played every Christmas on NPR stations across the country.
This is a suberb CD. Listen to it on a long road trip, and I guarantee the miles will just fly by, you'll be so absorbed in these stories. I have just ordered Driveway Moments 2--if it's half as good as this one, it'll be well worth it.
