Wait Wait... Don't Post Me!
"How are things in Vancouver?" "Ummm... kinda like Seattle, only metric."
Source: This exchange happened when Anthony, a caller from Vancouver Canada, was a contestant on NPR's Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me!
Explanation: Wait Wait is rapidly becoming my favorite podcast, which is unfortunate, because I'm burning through all of my past episodes. Soon I'll be stuck waiting for a new episode each week like the rest of the world. It's like "catching up to reality" on a TiVo-delayed program. You suddenly just don't feel privileged anymore, because you have to watch commercials like the rest of those non-TiVo-owning commoners out there.
Here's a behind the scenes look at Wait Wait:
Special Blog Bonus: Here's a Good Eats parody. "See how much easier it is when we work in metric?"

NPR is National Public Radio - No commercials. Just the semi annual fund raiser.
semiannual? more like bimonthly. but we forgive them this, b/c they're worth it.
of course we NPR lovers are always thrilled to welcome another to the fold. It's a slippery slope from "Wait Wait" to "Car Talk" to eventually crushing on Nina Totenberg. JOIN US, JEREMY!!!
Wait don't tell me Wait Wait Don't Tell Me is my favorite program as well program as well.
