NPR and all that Jazz

I'm working at KERA, the local NPR affiliate, this summer as an intern for a program called Think and another Anything You Ever Wanted to Know. So far I haven't really done that much for the show except enter rejected books into a spread sheet and shadow my superiors. But today I recorded, edited and uploaded the podcast. That may be a small feat but I feel like it's the first step towards my goal of learning how to operate and use another medium, the web, better.

The program is really fascinating. They have authors and important people come to the show and then interview them and take calls and emails from listeners. These aren't just hokey authors either. Last week they had gubernatorial candidate Bill White and author Isabel Allende on the show. Today they had a WWII vet on to talk about his new book. It was moving.

I'll try to keep this blog updated with all that I'm learning and finding this summer.
