Slainte!

Happy St. Patrick's Day! We had a blast putting together today's holiday show. If you missed it, thank your lucky charms, because you can listen to the show in its entirety here: FATY 3.16.08.

Also, don't forget about our LIMERICK CONTEST:

Give us a limerick for the day of St. Patty
Because it's time for us to hear your poetry
Audience participation
From your favorite station
Here on WHRB

This wonderful limerick of both questionable rhyme and meter is brought to you by today's marvelous host, John Selig. Remember: we think YOU can do better! Please send us your original holiday limericks to news[at]whrb[dot]org. All submissions will be posted on our blog, and the best one will receive a $10 gift card to Starbucks!

This week:
  • The Life of a Harvard Athlete: Kate Mills - Continuing with our series on Harvard athletes, reporter Leah Schwartz sat down with Kate Mills, currently training for Beijing's Olympic Swimming Trials.
  • Harvard at War - A commentary from Harvard graduate Joe Linhart '03 who registered for the U.S. Army upon graduation. Serving in Iraq from January to December of 2005, Linhart gives his perspective on his time as a troop.

From Across the Yard will be on hiatus for spring break on our March 23 and March 3o shows. However, in their place we will be broadcasting some Old Time Radio classics, so be sure to tune in!

From Across the Yard will return, at its regularly scheduled time, on April 6. For now, we hope you are having a safe and enjoyable St. Patrick's Day weekend. Slainte!
