I received this notice Friday morning:

> Smithsonian anthropologist Dr. Rick Potts was recently interviewed about discoveries
> made in Blombos Cave, South Africa, for National Public Radio's "All Things Considered."
> We have just been informed that the story, which centers on early human culture, will be
> broadcast nationwide tonight, or at the latest on Friday, January 11.

> More information is included on the NPR web site:

&gt; The audio version will tentatively be available through a wav file on <a href="http://www.npr.org" target="_blank">www.npr.org</a> after 10pm
&gt; this evening.

Unfortunately, I don't know the exact time of the interview.

Blombos Cave sounds like an extremely important and interesting archeological site. The interview should be interesting. Here's some more info that I found after a quick search:

Of course, I'm sure that YEC's will find some convoluted reason to use these findings to support their own ideas, while at the same time maintaining that this site is no more than 6,000 years old...
