The past couple of weeks, our local NPR station has been holding a fundraising
drive. It seems that this is going on nation-wide, and the PHC broadcasts
have been tailored to support this -- last week's had a preceeding half-hour
of rebroadcasts of special bits from earlier shows, interspersed with gk
pushing for donations. There were long local interruptions during the show
also, however.

What I want to ask is: "What is going on at the theatre during those long
interuptions?" Are there all sorts of great acts and skits and music which
we local listeners have missed due to the fundraising babble? Or does the
entire cast and audience go out for coffee and doughnuts during this time?

Did anyone out there hear the last two broadcasts on a station which was NOT
doing fundraising? What sort of differences did you notice in the program?

Please post answers/comments.
