Piece Description

RK:  Hello, I’m Robert Krulwich
JA:  I’m Jad Abumrad
RK:  And we’re here to bring back the romance of pledging.
JA:  Wait, what?
RK:  Well, pledging, Jad, is kind of sexy if you think about it the right way.
JA:  Did you just say sexy?  Pledging?
RK:  Hear me out . . . pledging has all of the hallmarks of a bold romantic gesture.
JA:  It does?
RK:  Sure
JA:  How?
RK:  Okay, imagine, somewhere out there a dashing stranger sits alone by the radio.  He likes what he hears.
[Tape from Click and Clack]
RK:  So he grabs the phone, and, with a kind of devil-may-care grin, he debonairly pledges to the station that he loves.
[Hello?  I would like to donate my money to you.]
JA:  Do you think there are any chivalrous admirers out there right now? 

RK: Well, you never know, but you can tilt your ear, fondly, to the phones here and wait hopefully.
