CONTESTANT INTERVIEWS
Alex: Welcome back. Bill Patschak is a trivia writer from Maryland. And he did something adventurous, something that I don't think I would ever do. And that is, you jumped off a cliff. First of all, where did this take place?
Bill: Yeah, so, me and my friend Chad went to a quarry in West Virginia. Uh, it's illegal to go there. It's trespassing, but we did it anyway 'cause--
Alex: Of course.
Bill: --we were in the mood for an adventure.
Alex: All right.
Bill: So, uh, it was, like, 50 feet. There was, like, a quarry that was 300 feet deep, all water. And we swam across the lake, jumped--climbed up, and jumped off, and it was a blast.
Alex: No problems?
Bill: Nope.
Alex: Okay, lucky for you.
Alex: Katrina Munzinger from--Munds...
Katrina: Mundinger.
Alex: Mundinger, sorry. From Minneapolis.
Katrina: Yep.
Alex: A musician who classifies herself as a clarinet evangelist?
Katrina: Yep. I've been playing clarinet since 1979, um, and majored in it in school. Went to a conservatory.
Alex: But why evangelist?
Katrina: Because I love the clarinet so much that I just want to share great performances of it by others. Um, I want to share with my students how to make different sounds so that they can love it as much as I do. It's just sharing the clarinet love.
Alex: Good for you. That's a great story.
Alex: Annie Moriondo is from Massachusetts. She is a bookseller, who, in her spare time, is a singer/songwriter. So we're back to music here.
Annie: Yeah.
Alex: Now singer/songwriter--what kind of music are we talking about?
Annie: Sort of an acoustic folk type of music.
Alex: Acoustic folk. Do you play guitar?
Annie: Yes, I play guitar and a little bit of piano.
Alex: Of all of the great folk singers, performers from the past, who would you list as your favorite?
Annie: I'm a huge fan of Richard Thompson. And more recently Vienna Teng. She's pretty great.
Alex: Okay, good.
