A reminder how early some @NPR journalists get up for you. This is when my alarm will go off tomorrow so I can host @MorningEdition & @UpFirst with @NPRinskeep. The show is staffed 24 hours, so some of my colleagues will have been up all night. Support public radio & local media!

Happy holidays to all!
