National Public Radio has Wait Wait Don't Tell Me.

Archive Of Our Own has the recently delivered Yuletide gift exchange.

And in 2009, I don't know if it was requested or what, someone wrote a zombie apocalypse during the opening of a WWDTM broadcast with Peter Sagal, Paula Poundstone, Mo Rocca, and Tom Bodett.

This is a brilliant and very short story, only 1002 words, 5-10 minutes to read, and very, VERY funny if you like WWDTM. The writer captured their voices perfectly. This story truly puts the Fan back into FanFic.

To tell you how far it spread, PETER SAGAL heard about it and tweeted about it! It also made Boing Boing's web site!

Summary: "We're going to be cutting our show a little short today, because, as you may have heard, there's an apocalypse happening! But we didn't let the election of Barack Obama stop us, and we're not going to let the zombie hordes stop us either."

A request has been made to turn one of her Rivers of London stories into a fic podcast! I thought she'd had one or two other stories turned into podcasts, but apparently they were translated to Russian or some other language.


In other Rivers of London news, do you watch the Doctor Who spinoff, Class? Did you catch the third episode, Nightvisiting? My wife recognized the voice of Puddle's father, the actor Kobna Holdbrook-Smith, as the man who narrates the audiobooks for Rivers of London! He's also appeared in Father Brown, Midsomer, Doctor Strange, and in the upcoming Mary Poppins Returns.

Personally, I've been enjoying Class, I'm sad that it was cancelled after one season.
