gnomi | Random Fan Shout-Out is Random

I am a regular listener to the Reduced Shakespeare Company's podcast. Every episode ends with Austin Tichenor reading out the credits, which includes a Random Fan Shout-Out. The RSC says:

Every week on the RSC Podcast, we give a shout-out to an RSC fan whose name is plucked at random from our lists of Reduced Reader subscribers, Facebook friends, Twitter followers, iTunes reviewers, and subscribers to our YouTube channel. Sometimes, they’re the names of fans we’ve actually (gasp!) met in person!

A couple of months ago I sent the guys of the RSC e-mail about something that I cannot remember right this minute but that was relevant. And that apparently put me into the mix. Because there I was, sitting on the T this morning listening to the end of podcast #283, and I hear Austin say "Our Random Fan Shout-Out this week goes to [my first and last names, pronounced correctly]. No reason, it's just random."

So there you have it. Random Fan Shout-Out is totally random. But it definitely got me paying attention, rather than tuning out the credits after hearing Matthew Croke's fake title (this episode, Jungian).
