How Do You Settle in For a Conference?


Whenever I enter my room to settle in for a conference, I get a bead on the radio. Can I plug my iPod into it? Will it get the local NPR station? Does it work?

When you arrive at your hotel in the city and before you walk to the conference, tune your radio to 93.9 FM or 820 AM. WNYC is our public radio station. There are some things you can leave home without, but it isn't public radio. WNYC listeners wake to Soterius Johnson's voice. He provides the weather, local news, whether alternate-side-of-the-street parking is in effect, and is a resonant segue to Morning Edition, Carl Kasell, Renee Montagne, Steve Inskeep, and all of the well-known NPR journalists.

This is a great help for those of us who don't feel at home in a new city until we've found the NPR affiliate.
Thank you!
