Over here at KUT and KUTX, we love a good prank, and we hope you do as well. That's why we want to let you know about our April Fools' Day special: the KUT "Sit and Listen" whoopie cushion. A first, and maybe last, in public radio.
If you are interested in getting a whoopee cushion for your prankster repertoire, just make a gift online.
To get you in the spirit, here's a link round-up of our favorite whoopee cushion stories from NPR and PRX:
- Makin' Whoopee: A sound portrait of 2,500 baseball fans simultaneously sitting down on whoopee cushions.
- Etude For Squeaky Toy, Other Compositions: Composer Carl Schimmel's quirky compositions.
- Serenaded by Pipe Organs at the Heights Theatre: A historic theatre, pipe organ, and our friend, the whoopee cushion.
We've also produced an instruction video in case you're rusty on how this works.
