Perhaps you've always wondered how public radio gets that smooth, well-crafted sound. Maybe you're thinking about starting a podcast, and want some tips from the pros. Or maybe storytelling has always been a passion of yours, and you want to learn to do it more effectively. Whatever the case--whether you're an avid NPR listener or you aspire to create your own audio, or both--Sound Reporting: The NPR Guide to Audio Journalism and Production will give you a rare tour of the world of a professional broadcaster. Jonathan Kern, who has trained NPR's on-air staff for years, is a gifted guide, able to narrate a day in the life of a host and lay out the nuts and bolts of production with equal wit and warmth. Along the way, he explains the importance of writing the way you speak, reveals how NPR books guests ranging from world leaders to neighborhood newsmakers, and gives sage advice on everything from proposing stories to editors to maintaining balance and objectivity. Best of all--because NPR wouldn't be NPR without its array of distinctive voices--lively examples from popular shows and colorful anecdotes from favorite personalities animate each chapter. As public radio's audience of millions can attest, NPR's unique guiding principles and technical expertise combine to connect with listeners like no other medium can. With today's technologies allowing more people to turn their home computers into broadcast studios, Sound Reporting couldn't have arrived at a better moment to reveal the secrets behind the story of NPR's success.Binding Type: Paperback

Soft, well made
Color: 02 - Pink, Size: Throw (50" X 60")
Bedsure GentleSoft Luxury Faux Fur Pink Throw Blanket for Couch, Soft Fuzzy Fluffy Shaggy Gifts Blanket for Women Mothers Day, Warm Cozy Plush Fleece Throw for Room Decor, 50x60 Inches
Our household never seems to have enough blankets or throws, so I decided to try this one for one of my kiddos. Our family is strongly ASD, so I was hoping this would be a winner.
The outer shell has a faux fur that looks glittery. It is soft, but also has a weird coating that went hope goes away with washing.
The inner side is very soft. It's comfortable to use, and for us, did not trigger any sensory issues. It's got a decent weight for a throw, but isn't obnoxious about it. This throw is enough to keep warm without overheating.
At the current price of $39.99, it seems like a good deal. I did remove 1 star for the weird coating, but will update as appropriate.

Quality Faux Fur Throw
Color: 03 - Beige, Size: Throw (50" X 60"), Color: 03 - Beige, Size: Throw (50" X 60")
This blanket is nice and soft. It's an off-white color with one side being faux fur and the other being smooth. It is packaged tight but once unfolded it fluffs out nicely. I have another blanket made by this company and those blankets wash well, although I haven't had this one in the wash just yet. I tend to let the other faux fur blankets I have air dry and that usually works fine. I would caution against high heat on these. Ideally if you follow the cleaning instructions you should be fine though. The cost is on par with most box stores, decent value for what it is. It isn't super heavy and makes a nice throw for various scenarios. It does have a false leather patch on the front side which I am not a huge fan of. That sort of takes away from the authentic fur feel, but it isn't a huge drawback. I show that in one of my photos. Feels nice and cozy and would make a nice book nook blanket or chair covering. No chemical smells or anything like that. Overall very pleased with the product and I definitely recommend this brand from this and prior purchases.

A warm hug from this fantastic blanket!
Color: Cream, Size: Throw(50" X 60")
This is my go to blanket when I want to cozy up on the couch. So soft and warm, it’s like snuggling a hug! Washes well and lasts forever years. I replaced mine after 4 years with the same thing in a different color option! Perfect size to cover up and also a nice accent piece on the back of the couch.

In Awe
Color: Tie-dye Taupe, Size: Throw(50" X 60")
this is one of my favorite blankets I’ve ever ordered from Amazon! We use it on our couch. The colors are absolutely beautiful and stunning. It looks very earthy and kind of grounds my living room decor. It is very soft and cozy as well so it serves as many functions in my room! Probably will order another one soon for the other chair. The quality is superb.

The best ever made by anyone is the super, soft, faux fur throw/blanket by BEDSURE!
Color: Black, Size: Twin(60" X 80")
I received my Bedsure super soft Faux Fur twin blanket on 2/3/26. I ordered the black in the twin, 60” x 80” because I love to wrap a throw around me & a regular throw is just not large enough to keep me comfortable. Bedsure bedding or relaxing throws is never a bad choice. I’ve purchased numerous bedding collections & was amazed at the quality of their collections & I will NEVER buy anything BUT BEDSURE bedding. This Bedsure super soft Faux Fur, double sided twin size blanket is absolutely gorgeous & beyond my expectations even though the brand is BEDSURE. The item came nicely packaged & with instructions to just put in the dryer on low to fluff up the blanket which I did & it came out so super soft & elegant. This awesome faux fur blanket is the softest that I’ve ever had. I’m so glad that I read the reviews to help me decide what size to order & the twin size is perfect for me. You can never go wrong with BEDSURE bedding or throws. The Black Faux Fur twin blanket looks elegant on the back of the couch or chair. If I could give this product 10 stars I would. This item was an amazing value for the money. There was no smell to the blanket at all & the quality is fantastic; I’ve never had anything so super soft & is machine washable & can be dried in the dryer. The gorgeous fabric & depth in color is so rich & awesome.
