If you need even more motivation to donate to public radio let's listen again to Tom Hanks discussing our working conditions it's going to tell you it also in your mind's eye you're coming to Wait Wait Don't Tell Me and you have visions of where you'll be working in the office system and the Read it is it is it's a sad little folding table in the middle of a book. In truly the sad little step child orphanage section of w.b. Easy and. I walked up so many stairs in order to get to what you centrally is the attic for you know hacking your way to death in a room that got a big welcome town here let me repeat let me call you are you a cup of Postum as we work over some of the limericks that. I was thinking that it would be like some out a madman you know Secretary said call he a designer or just wanted to marry Radio Tom you know you send in 10 bucks and you get a mug. It's a terrible business model would be a $5.00 profit a they demanded me I said Could I get a cup of coffee and they. Gave me a wait wait don't tell me mug that they then took back. The what do you want me to get a monologue. I took I took a I took a steno pad off the shelf and I started writing notes in my damn 4th the boss of the whole thing says you're going to use the whole thing are you. Not just a couple of page will good men because this is n.p.r. And we're going to need that's not I think it's only reassures our arts importers that we're no wasting money at n.p.r. Why don't I can write you know that they're selling it on E.-Bay it's Tom Hanks notes from his weekend I want them I work I look I don't want that the people were great the hangers phantom I'm just saying that the facilities were not quite as glamorous as one would have thought. And also most would've thought it. I'm also this is my point to you is that maybe we're not living parallel lives. Don't you want public radio to be a place where famous movie stars feel more comfortable whether you want hot and cold running computer for Tom Hanks or just more dumb jokes for me consider donating to your station now now if you don't help us out we have to go to some more questionable sources support for n.p.r.
