Two-way radio!

You are so right, immediacy and intimacy is one of the magic aspects of radio. Great Job and Best of Luck!!

Nice combo, good sampling of your different sides. You feel comfortable behind the mic. Nice to hear it.

I really enjoy your humorous point of view on things, and your stream-of-conscious approach.

Wonderful!

We've got a chance to really open people up to conversing, 2-way, just what the world needs.

There are only two types of people in the world - those that dichotomize and those that don't.

Good job! Good luck!

...for your swell comments. Funny, I've never heard the Elen D comparison before (I think she did a great job at the Academy Awards, directing Spielberg how to snap a shot of her & ol' eyebrows). Although, the first time I volunteered to answer phones for my local npr station during the pledge drive, a member thought I sounded like Terry Gross.

Yeah, the first part of my clip is not my favorite audio moment. The Duo-Tones' appearance on my show *is* a highlight. Other highlights:

*Changing someone's mind: in the medical bioethics forum I produced, the hospital chaplain came to realize that the geneticist had his heart in the right place & was not an evil mutator of humanity. Right there on live airwaves, she recognized her "enemy" as her fellow man.
*the on-air prank a friend and I pulled on April Fool's Day, in which he played a self-promoting and salty private investigator, Joseph Shorpkenoff, and I played his earnest & beleagured interviewer.
*the last installment I did of a late-night spoken word and dreamy music show called Night Ride, about "Questioning Protection," including: a self-proclaimed hobo on cat & mouse games with police; a caregiver of mentally disabled wondering how much control she should have over their lives; a New Yorker story about a man taking extreme steps to protect his family from his neighbor--as a metaphor for America post 9-11--and an interview with the author.
*the music show I hosted a couple weeks ago, when all the transitions fit perfectly, and the tunes cohered into an energetic and upbeat reflection of my heart that day.

Bonnie Jean -- once you played us the piece of you actually "hosting," you really grabbed me. And I swear that I, too, thought of Ellen D. before reading that another listener said the same. Upbeat, spunky and entertaining.!

Thought I was listening to Ellen DeGeneres for a moment. I like her too.

Bonnie Jean Sweet Potato!

Holy Moly! I don't care what your real last name is, if you really moonlight as Sweet Potato. I dig your sound, your voice, and your ideas for more interactive radio. I think you're right, this here is very much two-way radio, but moreover is like hundred way radio, or even dare I say it, X-way radio (as in, we don't know how many contestants and voters there will ultimately be).

Right-o, good luck to us all.
