NPR (free)

There is an NPR app for the iphone and ipad. After reading all of the reviews, they suggest using the iphone app since it has been updated and you can listen while doing other things. They said the ipad has yet to be updated.

"NPR for iPad: Experience NPR in magazine style with a focus on News, Arts & Life, and Music content that’s broad, deep, and timely. It’s NPR like you’ve never seen us before.

And, we are already working on future enhancements for our next release.
