I wonder if we're thinking of the same one, which I believe was by some
famous character actor...or maybe he was just British.
NPR has come up w/ its own *Peter* which it played during its pledge
drive and offered as a gift premium. It's presented as a breaking news
development in Vienna, Virginia, just outside Washington, w/ many of NPR's
famous announcers like Noah Adams, Bob Edwards, Pam Fessler, Silvia
Poggioli, and others giving their takes on the events as they develop.
