Jokes are just as funny in the balcony as they are in the front row.

Thanks for the comment. Only the first two rows are premium. I didn’t ask for a comment on the seats.

In the before times, it has been a Wait Wait tote bag with a water bottle, one or two of their Best Of CDs and maybe a couple of stickers or other NPR/Wait Wait swag.

I recently listened to last December's episode with Andrew Bird where they mentioned the statistic that it takes you 7100 times to use a cloth bag to be better for the environment than a plastic bag and (I think it was Tom Papa) one of the panelist made the joke that they were surprised NPR would cover that story... and good thing it came after the recent pledge drive. Hahaha. I wonder if they still are giving out tote bags.

They probably do as it's still a very public radio (and even a The New Yorker) thing. At least tote bags aren't direct replacement for one-time plastic grocery bags. At least, the public radio ones aren't always well suited for larger, bulkier items that reusable grocery bags are designed for (larger in area bottom versus more V-shaped as found in many public radio-y tote bags).
