We ain't sayin' you're a golddigger. But you are reading this blog. And today, for the first time ever, we're bringing you two whole hours of brand new BPP audio content. News and information? Check. Live music? Check. Random hilarity? Of course. Human interest? No doubt. Child sex predators? Always. Quality radio? That's for you to judge.
— In The Big Story today we cover two big reports: The GAO report on benchmarks in Iraq, and the report on the VA Tech shootings.
— As always we'll do The Ramble, and we'll do The Most. My submission for The Most is this piece about fried clams, while MJ brings a piece about a Chinese girl who runs 40 miles a day and Matt goes all Britney on our butts. We'll also talk to NPR's Joe Palca, whose piece about perfect pitch is number four in the Most Emailed rankings on NPR.org. Listen to Joe's piece and forward it everywhere, until he takes over the top ranking from that NPR story on Burmese quilters' struggle for soft drink equality. Go Joe!
— Musician Mark Olson, formerly of the Jayhawks, will be in the studio to perform live and talk about his new album and a new documentary that follows him on tour after his divorce from Victoria Williams.
— Mo Rocca will join us to talk about a contest on his web site which encourages people to rewrite the immortal and unintelligible statements of Miss Teen South Carolina. BPP staffers took their own cracks at an actual audio remix as well.
— We'll cover sports with Alison's husband Bill, some tiny presidential debates you didn't know existed, and several obituaries in the news.
— Plus we'll talk about the growing controversy surrounding Dateline NBC's "To Catch A Predator," and the phenomenon in Miami known as "Castro Fridays." Basically, random street parties seem to break out there every Friday, when unfounded rumors of Castro's death start spreading. We'll find out how much champagne is on ice for the real deal.
