This video, directed by Ian Kibbe, is just one of a series of video shorts that NPR is releasing to show what really happens behind the scenes over at Navy Pier, the headquarters of local NPR affiliate WBEZ. Beginning at noon today, you can look for more of the videos on your local NPR station’s website.
