That time “Little Ed” Zotti provided the straight dope on “The Straight Dope” during [a half-hour interview on the late WNUA-FM in Chicago](https://www.popuparchive.com/collections/431/items/134258).

Thanks for the memories **Meyerson**.

I had never heard that. Interesting for the 1996 explanation of the difference between the internet and AOL.  
I have seen a short TV interview somewhere, I believe it was a Public TV recent history kind of thing. I’m pretty sure I followed a link from here.
