Radio Sweethearts

Driving to my parents’ home while listening to “All Things Considered,” I heard a couple stories that I wanted to write about for you guys. I even called Kerry and had her email me the stories I wanted to write about.

I have just decided against them. I discovered “B-Side Radio,” another of the alt.NPR podcasts, which I haven’t listened to, but they have just completely topped us in terms of public radio geekery. This is wonderful. Listen to their story.

And so you know what the panties made you miss:

1. Something about the G-Phone.
2. Something about the use of James Thurber’s “The Secret Life of Walter Mitty” in political commentary, with a reading by none other than America’s Mayor, Mr. Adam West. (Actually, it’s someone named John Pritchett, but I defy you to conclusively prove that it’s not West.)
