Click! She gets BIGGER!WFCR, whose studios are located on the campus of the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, is our local National Public Radio affiliate FM station.
On Saturday afternoons S.W.M.B.O. and I have become habituated to listening to its broadcast of a very funny quiz show called "Wait Wait Don't Tell Me," which regularly features famous journalists, politicians, musicians, comedians, entertainment figures, and other very smart, accomplished and funny people in the news.
The Opera today is "Tristan und Isolde."

Hi --
This is the second recent time you have pre-empted "Wait Wait Don't Tell Me" for a Wagner opera.
I know I'm old, but are we the last living people who get creeped out by Wagner? Has he become all Warm & Fuzzy with Gen-X and the iPod People?
As I grow increasingly senile, I find myself very much enjoying this very funny, witty, sometimes even brilliant live current-events quiz show. And I sure like it a lot better than Wagner.
Your website schedule says "WWDTM" is being broadcast now. It's not, not on your Webcasts or over the air.
I've just cruised the educational/public band for Any Other Station broadcasting "WWDTM." No luck, but the NPR website says I can hear it over the Web at 2 pm.
Which we will be doing this afternoon, rather than listening to Wagner on WFCR.
I know it's not Wagner's fault he was Hitler's favorite opera composer. How could the nice fellow possibly know? Thanks for your efforts to make him popular and beloved again.
Sincerely,
Bob Merkin
Northampton
