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?

[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.
