NPR Listener Acquires Kick-Ass Tote Bag

VENICE BEACH, CA—An avid National Public Radio listener, 48-year-old bicycle repair-shop technician Steve “Hozzie” Hasaji pledged $30 to 89.9 KCRW and “scored a kick-ass tote bag,” Hasaji reported Tuesday. “Check this out,” he said, showing coworkers a navy denim bag emblazoned with the KCRW logo. “If I knew listening to Morning Edition every day before breakfast was gonna get me this cool bag, shit, I woulda sent them money a long time ago.” Hasaji added that Renee Montagne’s insightful interview with author Diana Abu-Jaber was “totally off the hook.”
