CSPAN just dug up this little gem for us. Carl Kasell makes an appearance at 1:24.

Is it cool if I spend 8 hours watching this whole thing?

Never gonna tire of this story.

Speaking of things I love coming together… Benedict Cumberbatch hearting NPR with Carl Kasell creeping in the background? Be still my beating heart!!!

I’m a geek. I’m a writer. I spent all of my time in my childhood obsessing about Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Who. I was alone, I was an outsider, what do you expect? I was that bullied kid at the back of the class weeping for loneliness. I don’t think, generally speaking, people become writers because they were the really good, really cool, attractive kid in class. I’ll be honest. This is our revenge for people who were much better looking and more popular than us. I was a bit like that, I suppose.

Steven Moffat on his childhood. [complete interview here] (via nprfreshair)

nprfreshair: FYI: My editors in DC are currently fighting over who gets to edit Fresh Air’s Doctor Who/Sherlock/Steven Moffat piece today. Man, I love it so much when my favorite things come together (in this case, it’s Doctor Who/Sherlock/Steven Moffat and Terry Gross/Public Radio). When Terry interviewed Peter Jackson (10 years ago… vom.) I sat right up by the radio speakers to listen.

I appreciate your thoughtfulness, KQED, but why on earth would I want to listen pledge drive free?? Let’s get real: Cynthia Marcucci & co. are the lights of my life. However, is it bad that I am kind of already getting the pledge bug? Even though I’ve already joined and my membership gifts just now arrived (still waiting on that Newsweek sub…)? Though, like… if Wait Wait and/or PHC decide to actually have awesome gifts this round, I may not be able to help myself…
