Ira's voice, and those of his guests, are sent to National Public Radio from the hotel on an ISDN link. This allows transmission of high-quality audio over souped-up phone lines. If the first ISDN system fails, there's another line into the room, too. If that fails, the engineers use a plain-old phone line -- which is avoided whenever possible, since it sounds like everyone's on the phone.
