Some of our favorite Think Out Loud memories are made from those little moments no one can plan, produce, or expect. Take, for example, 14-year-old Samara Rodarte, on our show about students defining themselves as multi-ethnic, introducing us to the term "low-key racist." It was new to all of us, though she thought Dave Miller might already be familiar with it because, as she said, "you're Internet Guy."
"Online Host" or "The Guy with the Computer" or now "Internet Guy": There are so many ways we can refer to our one Dave Miller. Well, for the next two weeks, while Emily is on vacation, we'll change our tune a little. We'll call Dave Miller just "Host" and we'll welcome a bevy of OPB reporters and producers onto our air to play the role of Internet Guy (or Gal, as the case may be). They are:
- April Baer: Reporter, OPB News
- Rob Manning: Reporter, OPB News
- Allison Frost: Senior Producer, Think Out Loud
- Julie Sabatier: Associate Producer, Think Out Loud
- Ethan Lindsey: Central Oregon Correspondent, OPB News
- Kristian Foden-Vencil: Reporter, OPB News
Please join me in welcoming them to Think Out Loud — online and on air. I can't wait for the unexpected moments that they will bring us!

Mr. Folding Pencil, Trurl9 loves that guy, especially Kristian's "humour" during pledge drives. Trurl9 thanks you all for your illuminating work on behalf of those of us who skulk about in the shadows.
Trurl Nine,
