Book tours by NPR employees

Mary Lousie Kelley (sp?) seems to be on a book tour of many CPB related forums. Tonight it is the NewsHour. Her book was also mentioned on many NPR-related Programs (Fresh Air for one, I think). WOW - Is her book the best and the brightest. Afre there not other books and authors to review time and time again. Please - five the employee one venue. Steve Mangion

Sunday weekend edition NPR

With all due respect, Ayesha Rascoe might be a good reporter, but she does not have a radio voice that’s pleasant to listen to on a Sunday morning. We find ourselves looking forward to the times when a substitute fills in with a more professional demeanor and voice.

The CPB is no longer needed

The CPB is only funding far-left liberal fascist mouthpieces like NPR and there is zero political balance in any of the media outlets that they fund. Furthermore, with the movement away from network-only TV to anyone-can-stream Internet - there's no need to offset network-only programming anymore. Therefore, the CPB should not even exist anymore. I would posit that the only reason they do is because of the mountain of money that they get from our taxes - once you start paying that money, the people in charge are going to fight to keep it.

Ayesha Rascoe

I have listened to NPR for 40+ years. Mostly great! I do not want to hurt anyone's feelings, but this young lady is in the wrong job. I have read a lot of comments on several forums, and I am confident you are aware of how many people are just simply annoyed by her voice, not to mention her lack of command over the basics of grammar and pronunciation. I am sure she is a nice person- she does seem upbeat and enthusiastic. I just can not listen anymore on Sundays. Is there a chance she could be moved to a different role and be replaced by someone who can bring back the Sunday listeners?

I have never (since the 60's ) and realized how prejudiced he was. Keep it up and I'm done with donations and watching. He was a fool. Why I walked to support you back in the 70's !

Ayesha Rascoe

I'm certain that Ayesha Rascoe is a serious and professional journalist. But I am also certain that she does not have a "radio" voice. It is grating and annoying. Please consider replacing her. I cannot listen to NPR on Sunday with her as the host of Weekend Edition.

Creating New Sports For Play During Pandemics

Hi, Why not have a program that establishes a project to create new sports that are low impact and keep players at least 6 feet apart for play during pandemics like Covid-19 to help with emotional, physical, and economic wellbeing? It can be done. Do an internet search for: National Museum of American History New Gender-Neutral Sport That Keeps Players Separate Here is some information for your staff, clients, associates, viewers, schools and communities can use to create new sports.

March 29 2023 News hour

Your segment on Medicaid very nice idea,. Tell me, find out about Medicare and the Lack of Dental Care. I have an appointment with an oral surgeon July 24. 2023. This is my evaluation for what should be done but can i afford these procedures? NO. They have an Opt OUT on any Medicare plans of which I have. So on the advise of my dentist they told me to get Delta Dental insurance. So I did, it will cost me $50 dollars a month of which I still need to pay approximately $3000.0 dollars out of pocket. I do not have close to that amount, pretty sad.

PBS NewHour

Hello. I'm a long-time viewer of PBS NewsHour, and while I appreciate that the NewsHour has a liberal bend and covers important topics concerning disadvantaged groups, it's starting to feel a bit forced-fed. It seems like the NewsHour is today more focused on trying to find stories to fit a narrative as opposed to reporting the news of the day but making sure to cover things underreported elsewhere. And the coverage of Covid, particularly when it came to views opposing universal vaccination, was disappointing to me considering how the NewsHour champions underreported topics.
