Prepping for the 'City'

Next week, TMM heads to this place.

Lee, here...

I'm here late with just a small handful of colleagues. Booking and production for tomorrow (Thursday's program) is pretty much taken care of.

So ... why are you still there chomping away?

Well, next week, we're taking the show on the road again. On our trip, we will cover a significant gathering that only takes place every handful of years. We will witness (and maybe participate) in a gathering of a fairly large group of people -- some of them we know, many of them we don't know.

So I'm here wrapping up a few leads on some stories and voices we hope to bring you next week from our time on the road. Sending off a few e-mails, pleading our case for why you might be interested in hearing what these folks have to say.

So, Lee, cut it out. Where are you going?

We're headed to ... a city. And that's all I'll say right now. (I'll defer to Michel Martin spill the beans later this week ... or after we get there).

Let's play the guessing game. Where are we headed, and what for?

Right or wrong, just know that we'll be telling you more, lots more!

Ok I will guess Chicago for the National Black Journalist convention. I see Michel and the staff is nominated for several awards. Congrats and well deserved.

'Tell Me More' with Michel Martin

"Nothing is assumed." That's the unofficial motto of Tell Me More, the new Monday-Friday talk show with host Michel Martin. Grounded in lively interviewing and compelling storytelling, the program seeks to present diverse new voices, cross borders, challenge conventional wisdom and discover how other people think.
