[Palindrome] This American Life alert

["David Dickerson" <wordboydave gmail com>]

About a week ago, I got a looking-for-themes e-mail from NPR's This American Life (I'm on their list; long story) and it mentioned that they were interested in doing a show about Quiz Shows.  I wrote back and suggested that the Ultimate Quiz Show was probably the MIT Mystery Hunt.  

Long story short: they're interested.  So they'll be there at the hunt.  And since I pitched the story---and mentioned that our team was sort of friendly and not viciously competitive---they'll probably be coming around to interview a few of us.  The producer is a woman named Julie Snyder, and the actual reporter/interviewer would be a guy named Alex Bloomberg (or Blumburg, or whatever; I haven't seen his name in print and forgot to ask).  They'll presumably be running all over the place covering various aspects of the Hunt, so for all I know we might not see them at all.  But if you get a call or meet them, that's why.
