On those lines, while both
of you have done on-air segments on your shows, you
were both primarily producers. You know about the presenter’s role but it hadn’t been
your main responsibility, but
now it is. What is it like to become the voices of this program, as opposed to being the
occasional voices for the others?
Alix: That’s an interesting question, but I don’t know how interesting an answer I have. I can say
that Lulu and I did a lot of experimenting with what would work
for us as hosts - what the right
position for us was. In the beginning we talked about it a lot and
even did stuff like - we both took
a comedy improv class together
- which was really fun, but who
knows how it’s affected the end
product? But after a while I think
we just kind of forgot about it
and just focused on trying to be
ourselves, and do things that we
found funny or interesting, and
that’s when I think that it started
to work.
What kind of pitch did you
have to make to get NPR on
board?
