What’s your name and where do you live?
Laura Whittemore. Madison, WI.

When did you start listening to TBTL? How did you find the show?
2019? Right before you went to Australia, so I thought world travel was your default, haha! I came from Wait, Wait, Don’t Tell Me, and I am now listening from the beginning.  I love hearing the origin of so many drops!

How would your friends describe you?
Patient, loyal, funny, brave

What was your favorite cereal when you were a kid? Is it still your fav? 
Frosted Flakes but I only got those once in a blue moon.  Definitely not my favorite anymore. I became a loaded oatmeal person in my middle age.

What food do you love to eat the most of?
Ice cream and also garbanzo beans but never together.

What’s the best or worst nickname you ever had?
Laura Bora. By my mom's BF. Hated it, hated him. He didn't last.

If you could play one song on TBTL, what would it be? 
Thanks to several Tens, I'm now a Swifty. I do like the hits,  so I'm gonna say Shake It Off or Blank Space or or or...

What’s a special skill you have that you’re most proud of?
I can identify almost every bird species in the PNW by ear. But that doesn't help me now that I've moved to Wisconsin.

What’s a special skill that you *wish* you had?
I wish i could play the banjo as well as Steve Martin..

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?
“What you do is so important!”
