Wendy Reed — Thu, 06 Jun 2013 15:27:09 +0000

Last year, in fact almost exactly a year ago, PBS Digital Studios released the first in a series of remix videos featuring different shows from the stations history. The first video released was Mr. Rogers' "Garden Of Your Mind", which I found to be a bit creepy, but catchy all the same. Since then, they've gone on to remix the likes of Bob Ross ("The Joy Of Painting"), "Reading Rainbow", and more. Well, they're back at it, and have decided to feature everyone's favorite neighbor again. Check out Mr. Rogers' "Sing Together" after the jump!

Unfortunately, I've fallen asleep at the wheel a few times. In one instance, I worked overnight and had a 70 mile drive home. I don't remember about 40 minutes of that drive, but I must have been in some "sleep functioning" state because I didn't wreck or hit anything

See A Tornado From the Inside

Tom Cook — Tue, 28 May 2013 22:11:23 +0000

I'm kind of a weather geek. Having grown up in eastern Iowa and then living in Wichita, Kansas, I always had an appreciation for severe weather and strong storms.

Since Wichita is right in the thick of "tornado alley," some of my days on the radio included covering severe weather, some days included actually chasing down rotating wall clouds (that's what tornadoes are before they become funnel clouds) and other days spent in the basement waiting for storms to pass
