i saw how the sausage was made

wait wait was so much fun. we got to see how radio shows are made and saw mo rocca. i laughed so hard i had trouble breathing. as usual for a show they turned the air off once the recording began so it got a little warm toward the end. after they go through the entire show they have to re-record a few things that the producers think did not come out clear. the re-recording at the end only took a few minutes and then we got to ask questions of the radio personalities. peter sagal was there of course and cory flintoff filled in for carl kasell who had to be in europe for his son's wedding. the panelist were mo rocca, amy dickinson, and roy blount jr. our show will air on this saturday evening, check your local stations for times! and for all of my dorky friends hoping i could be a contestant...it is all previously decided who is on. as one would expect the entire thing is as scripted as can be with a live performance. joshua thinks that it must be pretty hard for the panelists because they are set on stage and told to be funny, no script, just be funny. i know people who are good at that so i thought it would be fun. several people asked how to be on npr during the q&a session. i am sure it would be fun to be a panelist.
no more babbling for now. i am off to work and then joshua is taking me to see a prairie home companion tonight.
