Well, we knew it was too good to last: KWMU's Tom Weber has accepted a reporter post at Minnesota Public Radio, to begin just after the start of 2008. He'll be back in familiar morning-drive territory, as a general assignment reporter. He was curiously mum about any interesting tidbits, so all we know for sure is: Yogi the cat travels north, too; this will be Tom's third position with a direct supervisor named "Bill"; and he swiped one of Garrison Keillor's famed red sneakers from a dressing room while in the Twin Cities for his interview at the station.
Watch out, Weber; we hear Keillor's got a nasty temper behind that Everyman bonhomie...
In a greater blow, St. Louis' #1 live, non-broadcast talk show is now without a co-host. Again.

I'll co-host with you anytime I'm in town. We are also losing the best head of hair in St. Louis radio. Sigh. We'll miss ya, Tom.

just have a rotating cast of co-hosts / auditioners until you find your Roper. Roper's no Siskel however. Siskel's shiny pate would have been a good foil to Tom's coiff.
