For the purposes of this discussion, "public radio" means radio that is in some way financially sponsored by the public, typically through fundraising or support from the
Corporation for Public Broadcasting. They may carry any array of programming, typically from public broadcasting syndicators such as NPR, PRI, or the BBC World Service (there are more).
I would also love to hear international perspectives on public radio, as people in Canada and the UK have more public broadcasting options than we do, especially on the radio.
