D&D on NPR

[GothamGM]

Rick Karr, Cultural Trends Reporter for National Public Radio (NPR), is doing a report tomorrow morning (Thursday, August 19th) on D&D that will be airing on NPR stations at the following times (all times EST):

5:50 a.m, 7:50 a.m., 9:50 am, 11:50 a.m.

The NYC station (WNYC 820 AM) sometimes pre-empts these segments, alas! An expanded segment will appear at www.npr.org tomorrow afternoon. I believe there will be some photos of us as well at the site--a bunch of guys who belong on radio! <G>

As part of the report, NPR recorded one of our group's sessions and conducted interviews with players and my non-player wife as well. It was a fun night and we played 1st-level characters in Kenzer's Coin Trilogy--albeit set on the Sword Coast of Faerun.

See ya on the airwaves!

7:50 AM, huh? I should still be in my car on the way to work then; maybe I should tune in. Thanks for the heads-up.

Cool!

Combining D&D and NPR? I'm there.

If only I got up before noon ><

My non-player wife and I listen to NPR all the time. I'm sure she'll be interested in what your wife had to say!

Somebody should record it and put it up here!

Drat. I'll be hunting my dorm down at that time. Ah well, glad it'll be out there.
