I also love "Wait! Wait! Don't Tell Me".

I LOVE Mike McGrath and his "You bet your garden" I get so much good info from him. But I think my ultimate favorites, and I hope your station playes these as well, my favorites are the Story Corps project that the Library of Congress is archiving. Ordinary Americans and their wonderful stories. <BR/>:)tarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00607051535384391653noreply@blogger.com
