You're invited!
I'm sorry that I didn't hear your entry before they pulled the voting apparatus, because I would have given you five stars. The fact that you posted that yours was the last entry you listened to made me click over to hear you - because I understood where you were coming from, and I sensed that your entry would have great meaning for me personally - and it did. Keep on fighting the good fight on many levels - you have the spirit and the soul to shine and light up the dark places in the world.

Whew. On so many levels ... whew. This is the one that stopped me cold. Had me listening, really listening. You had me with your submission. That would have been enough. You further sealed it with your bio ("Daddy could *sing* ... Every word that came from his mouth poured from his soul, and he navigated the difficult turns ... with ease.") That says as much about you as him. But what cemented it was going to your website and reading your piece about J. Falwell. Your explanation of why you would weep - legitimately weep - for a man who "...did some f**ked-up, downright evil things in the name of Jesus..." proved to me yours is a voice we need to hear. Judges ... just do this. Reserve a slot. This is the first, and I anticipate, only time I will write that. The very, very best of luck to you - patrick
Definitely very hosty. I bet you throw a great party.

i like what you're attempting here but it could be much better though...try a little harder next time
that I didn't try hard enough is insulting. How the hell do you know how hard anyone tried? Criticism is fine and can be valuable, but if it serves only to poke a finger in someone's eye, I don't see the point. Do you have details as to how, specifically, I fell short in your eyes?
Warmth and humanity really shine through in you presentation. You have a great way that's really down to earth and super easy to listen to. Thanks so much. Good luck!
I would LOVE to hear you on the radio! Good luck to you. :)

this contest means the world to me. any kind words given, by extension, mean the world to me. no exaggeration, no hyperbole, no BS... you have to understand: this means ALL to me. so please accept the comment and the thanks as being totally sincere, because they were and are.
It doesn't matter, the quality of your recording. What matters is the quality of your personality, and your voice, both of which are very high. Good luck, ma'am and I look forward to hearing more.
Shameless self promotion time!

I really liked this... sounds professional yet personal/relaxed. VERY nice style:
quibbles:
* I know this is intro to self & stuff, but would have preferred an excerpt of an actual interview.
the grammarian in me can't help but comment on "Your" in place of "You're."
the quibbles are minor...
I hope you advance...
and thanks for your comment on mine- defending the lack of production @

I was working from the documented notion that in the first round, all they wanted was to hear us, that adding elements would come in later rounds. Yes, this is keeping me from sleeping, and June 4 is a long way away... (ya-a-awn, stretch...)
As for your vs. you're, where did I make that mistake? The title, as written by me, includes "you're." (I'm a bit of a grammar freak too.) I ask you to look at it again.
Nice entry, nice voice. I'm not glad you are poor but I am glad you didn't have any bells and whistles! I like your idea. Listen to my entry and you will see why. I give this entry lots of stars!

I am glad to see that you know have a clear idea of what your roll as a host would be. I know many people who have no idea what it means to be the voice behind the radio dial.

Dear Natalie,
You appear to be someone who understands this sight more than others, not to mention someone who is willing to help out. What the 'hey' is an affiliate point, how do you get them and what are the "worth"?
If it helps public radio, I'm in...but can you point me in the direction of that elusive secret garden door?
Thanks, Sally
PS I just read your bio and you ROCK!
Let's keep in touch.
The affiliate points are for people/stations/organizations who get the PRTQ web graphic and post it on their own web sites to bring traffic to the Quest site. When people click from, say, my site to come to the PRTQ site, I get points. Now, those points are separate from the user points that we get for voting and posting and commenting. I believe the powers that be are still determining what the points, both affiliate and user, will bring to those with the most at the end of it all. 'Tis a mystery.
If you have a web site of your own or one with which you are affiliated, I am sure the Quest crew would appreciate your becoming an affiliate -- it all helps public radio.
And you rock too!
Natalie, I hope you win! Wow. I would listen to you anytime or anywhere. Great voice, great heart, great philosophy.
very insightful glimpse into what "hostiness" is all about!
You do have really nice delivery. I'd be interested to see what direction you'd take a show if you won this thing! Best of luck!
wait 'til round two. If I make it there, heh heh.
Seriously, I have tons of ideas. Tons. That's the beauty and curse of having lots of interests, a wide range of skills and boundless curiosity.
