I'm famous

OK, I'm not really famous. But I was on the radio this morning.

Seriously. The Star Tribune is now partnering with BOB 106FM to provide some news services. Once a week, they'll interview a reporter about a story they have in the paper. Not only was today the inaugural day of this partnership, but they chose me to do it.

I was really stressed out about it 'cause I had kind of been pressured into it. But it was kind of fun.

BOB 106 is some sort of classic country station that's "making a big move in the market" according to my superiors. They just took the Timberwolves away from KFAN and are using the Star Tribune to make some sort of news push.

So the DJ asked me quesions about this partnership, the community news sections, then asked me some questions about a story I wrote that disucssed some south-metro schools' push to add Mandarin Chinese to their curriculum.

Fun.
