Text me tonight

Hey all-It's Kat and mine's last show as producers. Tomorrow we just become ordinary old interns again. *sigh*I'm sad it's over but also a little relieved. It was a lot of work! I never expected to be working eight hour days......
Anway, today's show is all about texting! Well, not quite. Elena interviewed a friend of hers who is heavily involved in the Obama campaign. And since Obama plans to announce his VP via text message, Kat and I thought it would be fun to do a Voxpop about the importance of texting. Enjoy!

Barack Obama plans to send his VP choice via text message to supporters, but is it possible to text something meaningful? Kat and Kaitie seek to answer that question. Also, Elena Degel interviews the youngest Obama delegate to the Washington State Democratic Convention.

Weird Food

Today's show seems to revolve around weird food. Elena, Kat, and myself walked around the Ave sampling bubble tea. I had never had bubble tea before.....It's a little strange in my opinion. Listen to today's show and you can hear all about that. We also have an audio postcard from Lillian. She went to china town and walked around the night market. A night market is a staple of chinese culture and apparently sells lots of weird food-including fried scorpions.
Only one more show left and then Kat and I hand over our producing duties.

Two down, two to go

Phew, second podcast done! Lillian and Bryce had warned me about how long it would take to produce a show, but I didn't really believe them. At first. Now I do. But it's still a lot of fun-and very rewarding. Plus I like telling all my friends I work at KUOW!
Today's show we have an interview with Goodspaceguy. No, you didn't missread his name. His name is actually Goodspaceguy. He's running for the 7th congressional district this year. Kat interviewed him about his views on politics and space colinazation. That's right, space colonization. We also have a VoxPop on the history of people's names (thanks Lillian and Elena!)
Enjoy!
