Confessions of a college town: Pie Hole

Like the episode “24 Hours at the Golden Apple,” where “This American Life” reporters and producers completed shifts interviewing patrons and employees at a Chicago diner, the Montana Kaimin was inspired to find the “Golden Apple” of our college town. Pie Hole is a pizza place that has been open for about a decade. Seven days a week, it operates from 11 a.m. to 3 a.m. It’s become the go-to spot for the frenzied and famished. So we took shifts to interview customers and employees during the 14 hours of daily operation on a bustling Friday in downtown Missoula.
