An old name in a new place

Sitting in my parents' kitchen this weekend, I had a chance to hear NPR, since they listen to NPR, and as they listened to "Wait Wait...Don't Tell Me," I could've sworn I heard the announcer say the guest host was Luke Burbank. Now, when I lived and worked in the Seattle area, Luke Burbank was a radio intern and producer who wanted to be like Bill Radke. Burbank would show up at open mics at the Comedy Underground. Seemed like a nice enough guy then. Sure enough, it was that Luke Burbank. Good for him.
