You can listen to my comments about Obama’s commencement address on Arizona’s NPR affiliate, KJZZ, here. Just scroll down a little and click play on the audio player. It was neat to be on the show, and I can’t believe it was 100 degrees in Phoenix yesterday!
My experience with an NPR affiliate gave me the idea to start listening to local radio of random places that I am curious about.

If all goes as planned, I will be on Arizona’s NPR affiliate, KJZZ tomorrow at 2 p.m. East Coast time and 11 a.m. West Coast time for a show about Obama’s commencement speech style. The president is giving a commencement address at Arizona State University this year. KJZZ contacted me last night to see if I would like to be on Wednesday to talk about the speech Obama gave three years ago at my alma mater Northwestern. As many of you well know and are probably sick of hearing, he mentioned an article I wrote in the school paper and quoted from it. If you’re interested, here is the copy of his speech, and here’s a video of it.
Updated to add: Here is the link to the audio of my interview with KJZZ from May 13, 2009.
