What To Do When You're Expecting Elephants?

The Brian Lehrer Show | Apr 6, 2010

Q: What do you do when you're expecting elephants in just a few weeks' time?

A: Roll out the red carpet, put the china in the attic, and get ready for a wild ride!

Now that the Democratic Convention in Boston is behind us, we're thinking a lot about how we'd like to cover the Democratic convention. A number of factors make this one different:

>homecourt advantage

>we'll have a 12'x12' space, instead of a 6'x6' one, BUT it'll be much farther from the New York and New Jersey delegations and from the convention floor

>the relative scarcity of Republican elected officials in our area

>major demonstrations are planned

>it's the PRESIDENT, not a senator from Red Sox-land

So...We were wondering what you'd like to hear on our show. We'll be doing a morning and an evening show, just like last week. Tell us what worked or didn't work, who you'd like to hear from and what you'd like to ask them...the good, the bad, and the ugly.Let us know what you think!

Be alert for scams. WNYC never asks for nor accepts money for coverage or interviews. Anyone making such a request does not represent WNYC.
