This was McKibbon's first experiment with audio reporting and he writes about his experience in "The Pen is Easier than the Mic."

"I have spent my life as a writer. By that I don't mean anything too fancy—I've written thousands upon thousands of pieces, most of them short: write-ups of basketball games and city council meetings, Talk of the Town stories and book reviews and editorials. I've also written books and long magazine pieces and so on—but the point is, I'm not afraid of writing short."

"But I was afraid of writing radio."
