Tom,
I believe you have been waiting for this news.  Garrison Keillor is looking for his replacement.

I logged in to see if anyone posted this. Also, Tom asked Ben if there were any good NPR shows. I do like Radiolab on WNYC.

I was going to request Radiolab as well, and then I listened to the newest episode and they talked at length about Tom Waits.

Anyone else think Tom would be hilarious on Sound Opinions?  The tastes are just divergent enough that he'd be polite but biting his tongue the whole time, and they were also super nice in plugging S&W and playing some of Rock, Rot, and Rule when Superchunk was on.
