Polka Dots on the Beeb
Oct. 25 1:36PM
J: I made it on the beeb (BBC) today!
D: ...
J: I have a story on "The World", a coproduction of BBC/PRI/WGBH that airs (I think exclusively) here in the U.S.
D: ...
J: My story on an amazing sockeye salmon river in British Columbia is today's "Geo Quiz" about :45 after the hour in today's live broadcast, which means 3:45 today on KUOW.org, 94.9FM. www.theworld.org will carry it after 5:30 eastern time today.
D: Wow.
J: FLIPPIN SWEET!
3:50PM
J: Salmon were everywhere, all along the river like polka dots...
4:15PM
D: Like "polka dots"?
J: hey, i was ad-libbing during a phone interview in my bedroom at 7:30 this morning, cut me some slack ;-) Sitting in my bedroom on my cellphone... while some producer in boston asked me questions. i recorded my answers and ftp'd them to him. he then cut and pasted them into a coherent monologue.
D: ... [Hey, kinda like I'm doing now]
J: odd process.
D: ...
J: The other metaphor i used is that the salmon-dotted river looks like a long roll of xmas wrapping paper -- with a repeating pattern of red points on a green background.
D: ...
J: too long for radio.
D: I'd say.
J: But someone should totally make that wrapping paper!
