Timing and Cues
Host intro:
The NCAA Tournament comes to a close tonight with (add team names here) taking on each other. There's sure to be a lot of speculation about the players : who's going to go pro, who will remain in college. In college sports of course most athletes will forever remain amateurs. Independent producer Charlie Schroeder brings us the story of one such man, former Penn State basketball player Nate Althouse (ALT house) and the game when he finally got the chance to play with the big boys. Althouse tells his story with the help of his friend and fan Dan Flavel (FLAY vuhl).

Review of Tales from the Bench
Here's a piece to air during the commute on a Friday afternoon. People are tired but looking forward to the weekend, and this piece is light enough to take you away from the dreariness of the commute. The sound mixing is excellent, and I felt as if I were at the basketball game, amongst the cheering, yelling, and loud music.
