Elissa Adelson

What’s your name and where do you live? 
Elissa Adelson. Bellevue, WA.

When did you start listening to TBTL? How did you find the show?
I listened in the radio days. I had this a.m. radio I used to take into the backyard while my kids ran around so I would listen to KIRO a lot back then. I got a little lost when podcasting started to happen, but I figured things out and have been in a constant state of time banditry ever since.

How would your friends describe you?
Quiet. Silly. Creative. A picky eater. Somewhat nerdy.

What was your favorite cereal when you were a kid?Is it still your fav? 
Cap'n Crunch Crunchberries, but I would take anything sweet because my mom usually bought "healthy" cereal, so I would have to go to the neighbor's house for my sugar fix. It isn't my favorite now because I don't eat much cereal and my sweet tooth is less demanding these days. I will definitely indulge every so often for nostalgia's sake, but then I get a tummy ache.

What food do you love to eat the most of?
Tomatoes.

What’s the best or worst nickname you ever had?
The worst is Ratcake. My maiden name is Rettke, and when I was in the first grade some kid misread my name and then was super pleased with herself and just kept saying it.

If you could play one song on TBTL, what would it be?
Maybe something by Duran Duran because I am a bit of a Duranie. Or maybe "Boing Boom Tschak" by Kraftwerk, because that's always fun to hear.

What’s a special skill that you have?
I can clap with my very flat feet. The pride level is low, though.

What’s a skill you *wish* you had?
I wish I had a beautiful singing voice in order to bewitch the masses.

If you were driving down the street and you saw Luke and Andrew on the sidewalk, what would you yell at them as you drove past?
I would probably stop. Maybe clap the ol' feet?

Can other Tens find you on social media?
I'm on facebook and I am @elissa.adelson on Instagram
