The day's most emailed stories from NPR.org. You can configure this widget to autoplay the audio when it loads, which makes it great for use as an alarm. Configure a channel with just this widget and you can wake up to the latest NPR stories. Don't forget to enable Alarm mode in the configuration box. Created by Shawn Rider.

    Doesn't work! Won't load an entire podcast & just keeps rewinding the few seconds it downloads.

    with both autoplay and alarm off,as suggested, the first selection plays normally and then the widget becomes unusable due to voice over from the previous widget.

    I love this widget. I've love to see all the NPR podcasts available as widgets too! You can listen to them through mediafly but I find that interface much more difficult than this.

    @nicpottier: Yes, we're aware of the problem, and yes we're working on a fix. Thank you for taking the time to comment about the issue. This bug sometimes affects playback when the auto-play and/or alarm mode is enabled. Right now the only foolproof workaround is to disable the auto-play and alarm features, which will enable browsing of the full playlist with manual playback. This issue does not affect all chumbys or all playlists, so there is a chance you will never notice it. However, if you do then it is certainly annoying. We will post a fix to this issue as soon as it is available.

    I get a lot of weird behavior with this widget when skipping past a story, many will try to play at once. This is with it in alarm mode and auto play on. Any chance that'll be fixed?
