We do occasionally have to change frequency when we pass through large cities, but if you stay on the sparse end of the dial it's not too bad. The model I have can override most weak radio signals.

I've heard some people say that they have to change freqs a lot as they drive. I just ordered one for our big cross-Canada trip and I'm hoping that it will work well. Since we'll be traveling through some of the least-populated areas of North America, we shouldn't have too much radio noise to contend with. Have you had success using your FM transmitter?

I hadn't even thought about podcasts (I still haven't received my FM transmitter in the mail). I didn't realize how much content is offered for free online (like http://podcasts.yahoo.com/). This means I can download just the NPR stories I want to hear... excellent! And it looks like most news sites also have free downloads. Jared, thanks for the recommendation.
