Given that I listen to NPR all the time to drown out my immediate surroundings and/or give my brain something maybe constructive to chew on, I can't fault you for doing the same. I just take off the headset when dealing with strangers. Otherwise I just turn it off as needed. Many people are preferable to broadcast, but many aren't.
