Yet nothing ended up in the show :( . When you listen to the show, it's a lot of "Tiki this" and "Tiki that" but no actual mention about the Tiki as a symbol, what a Tiki is, and WHY the name is now used for all the things that are talked about in the report. I don't think that ever occurred to the guy. I thought NPR would be more interested in culture, not just the party aspect, but their big revelation was: "The heart of tiki, it turns out, is in its cocktails".
