NPR’s Carl Kasell on the way

Carl Kasell, the veteran NPR newscaster and “Wait Wait … Don’t Tell Me” announcer and judge, is on the way to the Bing Crosby Theater in Spokane on May 9, 7:30 p.m.

Kasell will regale the audience with stories about broadcasting — and even perform a few magic tricks. Yeah, he’s also an amateur magician.
