Blooper on WHYY's Fresh Air

C

cawasinnj

Was anyone listening to WHYY's Fresh Air today (Fri 7/22)? At the beginning of the segment on Carole King, Dave Davies misspoke when referring to whom Ms. King wrote her early songs. He then said something to the effect of "wait, wait sorry. Take 2" then started the segment over. Normally such a mistake wouldn't be a big deal, execpt that this was the way the show actually aired on my local NPR station (KUER). I'm wondering if any other stations (particularly WHYY) aired the show that way. If I were the editor who made the error, I'd be a little fearful right now.

Unfortunately, the air version on the website is properly edited.
 
Maybe Amy Salit took the day off.

I didn't hear Friday's show. But I have heard unedited edits in Fresh Air before. Always makes me wonder what other editing they do.
