You're Getting Older...

I often do chores such as laundry, cooking, washing dishes, etc downstairs where the TV is. I like to put on a recorded TV program I can listen to while doing this stuff. In the past it was usually Jim Rome is Burning. A few months ago I switched it to news. I have been going with CBS Evening News With Katie Couric but feel like there might be a better option available. My aunt recommended PBS NewsHour with Jim Lehrer, which I'm sure is excellent, but is also a full hour long. It has to be a half hour for me. I also prefer more of a world view. Any recommendations would be appreciated.
