The 5:40 version aired locally on BSR Radio (WELH Providence). The original 10-minute version first aired on KBOO. I also attached a 4:30 version, which has aired on Prime Time Postscript.

Timing and Cues

Suggested host intro: Almost everyone has set off on an adventure with high hopes, but sometimes things don't work out quite as you planned. For example, take Stuart Schussel--a college student who spent a summer bicycling across the country. Producer Kiera ("Keer-ah") Feldman has this story.

Incue (0:03): This summer Stuart Schussel bicycled 3,940 miles.

Outcue (5:36): But at least he got a t-shirt that says "Stuart, Nebraska."
