We asked Reporter Sean Cole to look into the story, but instead of doing a radio report about it, he wrote a sci-fi movie-type drama, and cast himself as the reporter. So grab some Jujubes. Sit back. And enjoy the show. http://weekendamerica.publicradio.org/display/web/2009/01/31/saving_the_story/ Sat, 31 Jan 2009 00:00:00 -0600 Sean Cole's best friend in the world, Aaron, has stopped using a cell phone. He says it was too expensive, kills gorillas and that he didn't want to be reachable all the time.
