I’m Paisley Seeger, filling in for Steve Innskeep.
My IRL maiden name is a classic NPR name, though. It’s hyphenated, and the first name is uncommon and its ethnicity is not obvious, while the second name is a less common spelling of a more common name, that identifies it as a different ethnicity (think -ski vs -sky in Slavic last names). My sister’s got a funky first name that really sells it. My married name is incredibly normal and it feels a little weird to not have a distinctive name anymore, but I love not needing to spell it for anyone.

Hello, I’m Singleton Uematsu, welcome to NPR. Prepare for a major release of applause for the architect behind a truly class-ic framework, a gem of a developer: David ‘The Rails Alchemist’ Heinemeier Hansson!
What do you mean “we were not talking about software programming patterns”?
You made me look it up. Uematsu isn’t dead
Singleton is your favorite pattern? We can’t be friends anymore
That’s fine, they can only have one instance of a friend at a time anyway.

Live, from Chicago’s famous Studebaker Theater, I’m Herringbone Winehouse sitting in for Peter Sagal on Wait Wait, Don’t Tell Me. Today’s guests have all been rounded up by ICE, so Bill Kurtis and I will exchange obscure yet witty barbs while a sad trumpet plays a downtempo version of the Wait Wait theme in a minor key.
