I listen to NPR on my way to work. One day as I neared the office, I heard what I had assumed was an editing glitch in the story. The reporter repeated the last phrase, as if the audio wasn’t spliced together correctly. The overlap was just a few seconds.

But then it happened again another day. Another case in which the story on the radio went back in time a few seconds.

And then again another day.

If this keeps up, I will probably end up venturing a few minutes into the past.

As it always happens at roughly the same geographical location, my assumption is that the radio station broadcasts multiple signals and that they are out of sync. The spot near the top of the hill is probably where my car’s radio decides that one signal is better than the other.

But it’s amusing to pretend that I have a time machine.
