I think it was Peter Sagal who once told me that there's a difference between funny and "NPR funny." This piece is "NPR funny." Also, there's a really ripe P pop in the middle of it.

Geo whiz!
Paul Slavens and Jim Kuenzer have come up with a couple of good parodies of The World's GeoQuiz segment, and they're fun!
These interstitials are perfect to deploy for fundraising pitch sessions – they're short and upbeat and could be used to encourage listener calls in a mock contest that leads to membership subscription.
The parodies are rich with that endangered Core Value species, Humor, outfitted with perfect "Attention to detail – music, sound elements, language." A bit crisper read would have enhanced the verisimilitude, but, hey, it's not the end of the world.
DDs, download GeoQuiz Parodies #1 and #2 for your next fun(d) drive to avoid those pitch break doldrums.
