Publisher Description
Most NPR listeners have experienced at least one “driveway moment”: You’re so captivated by a story, interview, or essay you’re hearing on the radio that you sit in your driveway, motor running, to hear it all the way through. Even if the ice cream is melting in the trunk.
The latest collection of this best-selling series features memorable tales, bits, and commentary from NPR favorites, regulars, and guests. Smartly chosen, sincerely hilarious, this collection will leave you in stitches.

"I listened to this in the car on the way to and from work. There are parts of this CD that I laughed so much I thought I would have to pull over. Some parts are sort of sad because the person has passed and we will never hear them live again. Overall, a very good listen."

NPR More Funniest Driveway Moments Listener Reviews
-
" Funny. But, not leaving a lasting impact on me. "
— Kristin, 1/9/2014 -
" Some interesting interviews with comedians, but not really driveway moments. I think the David Sedaris piece, which I'd already heard was the best. I think that This American Life has more driveway moments. This was fun, but pausable. "
— Catharine, 1/9/2014 -
" A great car trip book. Loved the Dame Edna portion. "
— Niki, 12/19/2013 -
" This audio is for lovers of NPR. Some funny segments. Mostly interviews with comedians. "
— Harley, 11/24/2013 -
" I think that Funniest Driveway Moments is a bit of a misnomer. Most of the stories were on the topic of comedy, but they weren't all hilarious. My favorites were Dame Edna, Justice Bryar, Jonathan Winters & Billy Connelly. "
— Mimo, 11/19/2013 -
" Mainly interviews with figures made fascinating by their unique sense of humor. Didn't find it as captivating as advertised, but still very fun listening, worth checking out. "
— Albert, 10/24/2013 -
" Great to listen to. A collection of interviews with various comedians including Dame Edna, Steve Martin, and Rob Reiner. "
— Jessi, 10/16/2013 -
" Many of these interviews were, well, not at all funny. Sorry, Jonathan Winters, but I don't think I even cracked a smile during your interview, yet alone a single laugh. At least most of the other interviews were tolerable. Definitely a disappointing audiobook. "
— Ben, 10/16/2013 -
" This was not funny. It was just interviews with comedians where they just talked about their childhoods which were mostly depressing. "
— Kathryn, 9/19/2013 -
" I listened to this audio book CD and enjoyed it! "
— Sara, 9/10/2013 -
" The audio clips were mostly interviews with comedians or people who write about humor. My favorite clip was about Lily Tomlin. I really liked her in 9 to 5 and it was great to hear her talk her experiences. Not my generation, but she's great. "
— Chrissy, 9/8/2013 -
" I have to agree with other reviewers; I definitely don't agree with NPR's assessment that these are the funniest moments. I only found the interview with Billy Connolly worth listening to. "
— Beth, 7/12/2013 -
" Some great stories, some stories that I could not believe were included. "
— Sean, 6/30/2013 -
" Perfect for a long car ride or a rainy day, these stories lift your spirits and teach you something new. "
— Jacqueline, 5/31/2013 -
" I was disappointed in this. I found very few of the comedians nearly as funny as the interviewers did, I didn't learn much about them, and I didn't gain much insight into the immortal question "what is funny". "
— Philip, 5/14/2013 -
" Not as funny as I expected "
— Linda, 4/21/2013 -
" NPR can be way funnier than this. Frankly, a let down. "
— Jess, 3/3/2013 -
" I enjoy these 2-disc segments to no end. The opening with Dame Edna is classic... "
— Bryce, 2/19/2013 -
" for an audio book full of funny moments, I am disappointed in the lack of humor thus far. Update, I only found Dame Edna funny, "
— linnea, 1/20/2013 -
" Really not all that funny at all. It was just radio interviews of comedians reminiscing about their past career. "
— Beth, 12/25/2012
