I listened to it off and on before that, but never seeking it. I'd flip it on when they would play a lot more classical and I wanted to hear that (KQED used to play a mixture of classical and NPR/PRI, etc., now much less music), or I'd seek out Car Talk after I discovered that.

Now, it's the default on my car radio.

It's on almost constantly in our house now, but we just realized that my mom (and I) didn't start listening to it until the mid/late 90s, and we can't figure out why. I grew up with a lot of classical and sometimes the conservative talk radio station for some reason. So far the best we've come up with is that some people in our community call it "National Palestinian Radio" and won't listen to it, and maybe we were a little influenced by that.
