It is a generally accepted fact that in the world of viral Internet shares – audio alone rarely goes viral.

There is one well known exception and that is the interview by WNPR reporter Jeff Cohen, with his daughters, after a haircut gone bad.

But we noticed an attempt by NPR Wednesday morning to give a boost to some key audio cuts from Tuesday’s Planned Parenthood hearing on Capitol Hill.

Using the well known web technique of offering lists, NPR published the six audio cuts you have to hear. We thought it was interesting and an example of a technique other radio and even TV news outlets might use to get some extra clicks.
