UPDATED: On The Radio With John Hockenberry, Friday At 6am

The Takeaway is the new national morning news program that delivers news and analysis on WNYC, National Pubic Radio. Hosts John Hockenberry and Adaora Udoji, along with the BBC World Service, The New York Times, and WGBH BostonInvite listeners every morning to learn more and be part of the American conversation on-air and online at thetakeaway.org.

Friday's show is all about OFFICE CUBICLES! In case you didn't know, it is the 40th anniversary of this egalitarian design travesty. Some history:

In 1968, an entrepreneur named Bob Propst was the first person to sell cubicles to American businesses. Now 40 years later, Propst's inventions are seemingly everywhere. Cubicles are the fences within which we daydream, the walls on which we hang pictures, and incidentally, the desks where we work. To mark the anniversary, John Hockenberry and his team at WNYC are showcasing pictures of the cubicles where you work. Send them a photo of how you've made a cubicle your own. Make sure it's a photo that you've taken and send it, along with your name and a description of the photo to mytake@thetakeaway.org. If you're a Flickr user, you can simply tag a photo or two with both the "takeaway" and "cubicle" tags, and they will find them from there. Then come back Friday to view a slideshow of cubicle life in 2008.

I will be on the air with Host John Hockenberry at 6am (it repeats at 8am for the late risers) to talk about Cubicles, Cube Farms, Workstations, Systems Furniture and Action Offices. Please tune in!
