Special Programs Planned for Election Eve and Beyond
KGOU and NPR News are planning a week's worth of special coverage for the historic 2008 general election, starting next Monday, November 3. The night before voters cast their ballots for president, they can call in and talk about it with a seasoned group of journalists, analysts, and strategists from both major parties. Neal Conan hosts the special call-in program, broadcast from 9 to 11 p.m. (CT)
 Election night coverage begins as soon as many of the polls close on the east coast, 6 p.m. (CT), and continues until 2 a.m. or longer, depending on how rapidly the results come in. KGOU will add coverage throughout the evening with results from state and local races.
Next Tuesday through Thursday, Talk of the Nation will focus on election topics: on Election Day, TOTN looks at the process of voting and individual voters; on Wednesday, the focus shifts to why the results were what they were; and on Thursday, Talk of the Nation becomes Talk of the World, examining what the US election means in a global context. And if you've ever wondered what happens in Studio 4A on election night, NPR has produced a video with political junkie Ken Rudin as your election coverage tour guide – watch it here.

NPR Reports Focus Attention on Multitasking
 Are we as good at multitasking as we think we are? Scientists say maybe not, and our ability to do more than one thing at a time may diminish with age. NPR's Jon Hamilton has another report on multitasking, complete with an interactive quiz, to test your abilities. His initial report from October 2 ranked high on the Most E-mailed Stories list, along with reports this month on multitasking teens and multitasking while driving.B.B. King Offers 'One Kind Favor'
 At age 82, B.B. King and his guitar Lucille don't have anything to prove, except maybe that age has nothing to do with making a great blues album. Music critic Milo Miles reviewed King's latest offering, 'One Kind Favor' for Fresh Air October 21. Listen at NPR Music.
