The NPR Radio by Livio promises its users:

Access to more than 1,000 NPR station streams, more than 800 podcasts and audio archives of NPR programs.

Presets for favorite NPR stations with a convenient "my NPR" button on the front of the device.

Access to a comprehensive list of more than 16,000 validated Internet radio stations from around the world through Reciva, in addition the NPR stations and content

Livio is promoting the new product, not yet shipping, with a pledge to donate a portion of each sale to NPR.
