Oh! I forgot to tell you about my other new podcast obsession: Wait Wait, Don’t Tell Me (the NPR news quiz). At first I was a little annoyed by the smug liberal intellectualness of it (I’m a self-loathing smug liberal intellectual), but I was won over by the fact that it’s the FUNNIEST THING EVER. Tonight I made the Snook listen to an episode from February when one of the “fake” news stories was about women in Fort Wayne, Indiana who had an irrational fear that dingoes would eat their babies. Good stuff.

A friend of mine is assistant producer/director on the show. She friended me from Carl Kasell’s Facebook account and I chuckled.

I became a fan when I visited my MIL a few years ago – Regan will dload the shows and we listen to it in the car now 🙂

That is the show that finally sold me on NPR when Nathaniel kept trying to get me to listen. It cracks me up! But he still can’t make me listen to Prairie Home Companion.
