I almost forgot to listen to this this morning. Luckily I got to tune in to “Weekend Edition” in time to hear Marilyn be absolutely charming with Leane Hansen. Of course I knew this was going to air this morning. What I didn’t know was how nicely they would edit out all our “ums” and “ahs,” making us sound so comfortable and smooth. And Leane has a way of making one feel comfortable and smart, and yes, smooth. As Mo pointed out, the only thing missing was our best line. When Leane asked us if we thought we were on track for “fame and fortune,” I answered that we were just hoping to become “known and solvent.” It was a great experience. Take a listen on the NPR site.
