Phone interview with guest Ted Yoder about his viral hammered-dulcimer video
A host phones guest Ted Yoder, introduced on-air as a good friend of the show who had been in the studio a few months earlier playing the hammered dulcimer. They discuss a video of Ted playing that has gone viral (around 800,000 views). Ted, a father of seven, says life feels unchanged except his iTunes checks may be louder. He notes the remarkable lack of online hostility toward the video, the pet raccoon people ask about in the comments, and that Tears for Fears' lead singer Kurt Smith and drummer Jamie Woolham/Woolman noticed it. The hosts congratulate him and let him go back to his family.
