That's so good. Tricia gets Coke and cereal. Ian gets raw oats and sugar. There is maybe some payback going on here? I've seen spit-takes before but never a sugar-spew-take.

Yes, the sugar-spew is a classic! You guys are definitely the best thing to come out of NPR.....ever!

Seeing Ian do a Domino's Powdered Sugar spit take sure does hit the sidesplitting spot when one is seriously jet lagged. We all know how good it is for everything from a simple icing to that festive mixed drink for an ordinary or very special occasion... but who knew watching (full disclosure: my brother) aspirate it is even better than melatonin for this weary traveler's soul. PS I also like Planter's Mixed Nuts (most of them).

I'm impressed that anyone could keep a straight face while filming that.

Could Ian's face have gotten any more red than at 1:30?? Too funny.

What I love the most about the BPP is that you don't take yourself so seriously. Maybe other news programs behind the scenes don't either, but only the BPP lets us the viewers/listeners/Web surfers behind the curtain.

Greatest Rundown, yet.

I wasn't gonna comment, but I'm gonna comment: Informative AND hilarious. Best Rundown I've seen. Thanks for pioneering a consistent rundown of the next day's program for listeners to get excited about the next day's program in the same way that you do. I can't wait until the folks at ME and ATC start doing it too...
