Has there yet been discussion of how the BPP is going to put out for podcast or simulcast? Will the web version come out a few hours later, as Morning Edition does, or will we actually have a BPP stream that we can listen to from home?

(Also, who besides Sirius is signed up to carry the BPP?)

i really enjoyed the name that tune video...which made me think about possible literary correlative themes like "name that book" or "who said that" and people could send in their favorite quotes and try to stump the "panel"...and i just read a very discouraging article in the new yorker which was absolutely crushing about how my "extra-virgin" olive oil might not be 100% pure...whatdaya think...worth looking into??? keep it fun and relevant...i like the idea that your shows have not been filled with polarizing, negative tones...jay

Since I see that Win will answer music questions, I would like to know what are the titles and bands of the the two songs play before the Week in Iraq segment (the one during the break and the one during which Alison starts speaking before the guitar/Linkin Park music).

The break music is "Sheep Go to Heaven" from the band Cake. The second piece is "Mr. Bobby" by Manu Chao.
