[PW] totally off-topic: I'm on Wait Wait Don't Tell Me

[Nichael Cramer]

In an effort to stay remotely on-topic by citing a useful reference source:

This is a really nice website for finding information about programs
on Public Radio stations.  (Grouping is by station, show type, etc.)
http://www.publicradiofan.com/

In particular (relevant to the current discussion) is the fact that the site
also has listings, by shows, which shows when the show is broadcast
at various places around the country (particularly useful for stations
that do web-broadcasting).

For example, here is a listing of all the times that "Wait, Wait Don't Tell Me"
is broadcast, at various locations, during the week:

[P.S. Congratulations to Hilary.   I was on WWDTM a couple of years ago
(the "limerick" segment).  It was slightly unusual in that it was one of the
"special" shows, taped for play during fund-drives.  (It was also a 
bit peculiar
in that one of the panelists wasn't actually present during the taping.   I had
to talk to a person whose voice was punched in later.)  Also, as it turned out
we didn't own an answering machine at that time; so I donated my Carl Kasell
recording to my local NPR station --Vermont Public Radio-- so that they could
give it away as a fund-drive premium.  --N]
