It was in elementary school when Lorna White said she decided on becoming an audio engineer. The Illinois State University alumna from Livingston County said as a child, she’d stick her head right between a set of speakers and listen. White is the technical director of Wait Wait… Don’t Tell Me!, NPR’s weekly quiz program that taped Thursday in Normal to help mark WGLT’s 60th anniversary, in an event that drew thousands to ISU's Braden Auditorium. The morning before the show's taping, she met with about nine ISU School of Communication students to share how she and her production staff get ready for the show.
