A new reality show of sorts has come to the Internet. It's called Reality Run. The idea is to set someone loose on the streets of a major city wired with a microphone and very little money. It is then up to people listening to that live microphone over the 'net to pick up hints about where the person is. The first person who finds the man or woman with the mic wins $10,000. The first "Reality Run" was played in Berlin and will come to the United States soon. Noah talks with "Roger." He was on the run in Berlin until a young woman found him in a Berlin library yesterday.
