SHOW TYPE: Talk/Arts

HOW THE SHOW GOT STARTED: Both Tostig and Caffeinated started out as dedicated listeners to almost every show on WTFR's schedule. Inspired mostly by the radio dramas during Cinemascapes, they came up with an idea to play audio books. After speaking with Taylor Blade, and Maxpower, they officially came on staff in April. What Books Do A Night aired for the first time in early May, 2006. Despite the thoughts of several critics the first show proved to be able to hold the attention of the listeners. After only two shows it was clear; What Books Do At Night was a contender for WTFR's top show list.

Tostig and Caffeinated are both avid readers. Indeed, Caffeinated is rarely, if ever, found without a book on hand and will read any text put before her; or will at least make a valiant attempt. Between the two of them, they’ve read several thousand books ranging from mysteries, to horror, to fantasy, to sci-fi, to biographies, from the classics to modern tales.

Several years ago they began to listen to audio books as they went to bed. Often times, Tostig wouldn’t be able to sleep, so engrossed in the story was he, and would go through several CDs or tapes. Of course, they would have to repeat them for Caffeinated the next evening. They’ve also found them a great diversion while taking long trips on the road and have often ended a trip sitting at their destination waiting for a tape or CD to finish.

Since discovering the joy of audio books, they’ve built up quite a collection which still continues to grow as more literary works become available. They won’t name any specifics here, as many of them will eventually make it onto the air. They hope to offer our listeners as much aural pleasure as they can handle.
