  1. Hi guys,
    great show as always. I have a quick comment about one item in the “One minute news” segment. You spoke about Canada’s biggest trial going on right now. I wanted to point out that the man on trial is named Pickton, not Pinkton. :)

    The coverage of this trial is also all over the news in British Columbia and Canada overall. It’s raising some heated debate actually as to the level of detail the media should report, because a lot of it is quite gruesome. So the coverage is already out there.

  2. Shel: I hope you have a good reason to go to Rochester - it’s cold as hell in Minnesota this week. If you - being from California - need a nice warm jacket, let me know and I’ll have one waiting for you in our office, right near the airport. -Mike
