Three fantasias which have real public radio personalities as the subject. First, Amanda Palmer tells the story of her unrequited crush on Christopher Lydon (pictured above), former host of The Connection on NPR's Boston affiliate, WBUR. Next, Jonathan Coulton's ode to WNYC host Soterios Johnson's secret E- and Red Bull-fueled club lifestyle. Finally, Franz Ferdinand fantasize about being interviewed by Terry Wogan, BBC Radio 2's legendary morning radio show host.

Chris is one of the smartest, thought-provoking commentators ever - I listened to his show The Connection religiously in Boston. It's the type of show that always has something of interest for everyone, and you feel your IQ rising just listening. In this episode, we get to hear Eli and Mike's thoughts on the tuba and hear them both play wonderfully. You can listen to the show here.About ten years ago I was a guest on the connection, thanks mainly to meeting Chris at a musicale Eli graciously hosted at his home. I am glad to know that all three of these fine gentlemen continue to advocate for the tuba. For more on Dr. Newberger, check out his website. There, you can learn more about this true "Renaissance Man" (Pediatrician, Author, Musician, Teacher) and don't miss the Tubby the Tuba video with Mike Roylance and the "Cupcake Philharmonic Orchestra." Tuba players will learn a lot by realizing the depth of Mike's tone, his flexibility, and versatility across genres.
