Oh yes, this should bring out the ladhuggers. Listening to it now. Laughing

I thought it was a pretty fair report. Ira kept referring to Adamu as a petty thief. Who knows, if he knew the financial and psychological damage scammers can cause, his reservations might be a little softer.

Overall, I thought it was pretty fair, but I was a little surprised at the petty thief references too, simply because they are stealing sums of money that would put them squarely in the felony bracket here in the US. But at least he repeatedly reiterated that he was in fact a thief, instead of portraying him as a completely innocent victim.

Well done, guys. Thumbs up

Thanks for the link. I'll go listen.

Edit: Well, I guess I missed it. I thought you could just stream from that link anytime after the broadcast, but you can't. Guess I have to wait longer. I'm really curious to see how this was edited. Did this story get most of the hour, or just a small portion?

about 28 minutes, prof.

Looks like it can be heard here in about 15 mins:

Great job all three of you.

I was actually surprised that a liberal show like that didn't show you in a little darker light (kudos to them for keeping it unbiased) However you held your ground very well when they tried.

Nicely done and congrats. Very Happy

I just caught about 15 minutes of the show. I'll hopefully get to catch it again this weekend at some point. I really have to give it to Ira, Sarah, and anyone else that helped put that together (who are obviously reading this thread, based on what I heard). VERY well done, to all of you, and thanks for everything. Looking forward to hearing the entire show. Thumbs up

Can't wait. I'm going to download as a podcast.

I have not heard the edited version of this yet but I am happy to hear that it was editted fairly. I was a bit concerned while we were doing the interview how this was all going to actually play out.

During the interview, I think that Jojo did a pretty good job of pointing out how overly dramatic the lads can be when they are complaining about starving, being stredded 1400 miles away from home, shot at, injured, etc... I hope that part got in the final cut.

So I guess I'm the first NPR listener to make it to the forums. I was laying in bed, hung over, listening to the story...

When one of you posted something like, "If you don't think this is funny, we wouldn't have fun hanging out together," I was curious. Would I pass the test?

As soon as he got to "In the name of our Lord..." I was already laughing out loud - literally.

The piece was fantastic. Well done.
