Review of Elephants and Sex


Air this piece right now. Especially now. Can't believe it hasn't aired anywhere. Producer Karen Michel has created a provocative, sound-rich report on the sexual habits of Republicans during the convention. Not exactly scandalous but it isn't what you normally hear about conservatives though hey please this shouldn't be a surprise. Michel went to several sex clubs - amazing - and got people to talk - even more amazing! There is an NPR news tag on the story which would need to be cut to air locally. So stations might cut out the Outcue and back announce the producer credit. This is fun, upbeat and makes you ponder. Might be an unsual way to balance all the pro-Bush victory rhetoric on mainstream media now.
