June e-Newsletter

	Here and Now in June		All Things Considered... Reporting in a Crisis Zone When the 7.9-magnitude earthquake hit China's Sichuan province on May 12, NPR reporters Melissa Block and Robert Seigel were already in Chengdu preparing to launch an All Things Considered series about life in this vast nation. Now they're providing eyewitness accounts of the destruction and stories of survival, with compelling insight into the mindset of the people they have been collecting stories from weeks preceding the disaster. Listen to their stories on npr.org and tune in for continued coverage of the aftermath on All Things Considered, weekdays 3-6 p.m. and weekends at 4 p.m. on KJZZ. Wait, Wait... Wins Peabody *Wait, Wait...Don't Tell Me* judge and score keeper, Carl Kassel had an extra special birthday on April 2, 2008. It was the same day the Peabody board included Wait, Wait... as an honorary inductee. The Peabody board described the show as follows: "A zippy update of one of broadcasting's long-ago staples, this live quiz show reminds listeners of the week's news even as host Peter Sagal and various panelists make witty sport of it." It's no surprise that the show's irreverent host, Peter Sagal would take a slightly different stance, "Everyone benefits from hearing the week's news treated with the lack of respect it deserves. We are thrilled and grateful for this honor and with this kind of encouragement, will probably behave even worse in the future." The producers of Wait, Wait... wish to thank the 2007 newsmakers and celebrities for providing the fodder. KJZZ wishes to thank its listeners for providing the dough to bring this one-of-a-kind show to the Arizona airwaves. Tune in Saturdays at 11 a.m. and Sundays at 5 p.m. Delicious Donations Please join us in thanking KJZZ food donors for providing refreshments for volunteers during recent pledge drives Bashas' Family of Stores Bashas', Food City and Eddie's Country Store bashas.com Cactus Refreshment Services cactusrefreshment.com Einstein Bros.
