I have just watched Judy W. interview the Czech foreign minister. Once again, the questions were sub par, bordering on ridiculous. For example, "is NATO doing everything it can?" Please, have other correspondents conduct interviews. Judy can remain as long as she does not conduct interviews. I have made this comment before. What is the plan?

Regarding Amna Nawaz's reading of the news and her interviewing techniques, it is almost impossible to understand her flat and extremely fast delivery. There is no inflection in her tone with no pause between phrases to allow comprehension of what she just threw at you.
I believe she is very knowledge but her rendition is impossible to listen to her and comprehend. The speed at which she talks with lack of inflection must be addressed or viewers will not be willing to tolerate her.
Judy Woodruff speaks succinctly with intonation and clarity. She is understandable and therefore carries authority. Long may she stay in her position.
So called news broadcast
Do not donate to you will never again until you change back to a non biased program I believe your total funding should be pulled all you do is repeat lies spread by the legacy media why should you get public funding for one sided lies that are getting exposed daily time for you to go what a shame in the seventies and early eighties you did fairly good go woke go away you are twice as bigoted as the normal people you lie about
Benjamin Franklin
It was quite a shock to tune into Ken Burn’s production and not find Closed Captioning. Please tell me why?
Call letter changes, poor reception...., feeling disrespected as a long time supporter of public radio in Cleveland
I am extremely disappointed with the recent shuffle of the three stations in north east Ohio (WCPN, WKSU, WCLV). While I understand there might be an expanded listenership outside of Cleveland, public radio reception in Cleveland is substandard at best. Adding insult to injury, the WKSU call letters are a constant reminder of a college owned small city (pop 30,000) station with poor reception and the abandonment of the urban identity of WCPN.
Upstart crow
There are 3 seasons of this spectacularly witty show (Upstart Crow); I believe PBS in Maine has only run one. When can we expect to see the other seasons on channel 10? They're Wittier than any of your other shows..

Newshour
Re: Brooks and Capehart. While I am sure Mr. Capehart is more than qualified and well informed, he talks too much. I feel like I am getting preached to, and therefore, David Brooks or whoever the other panelist is, doesn't stand a chance to get their views properly aired I used to make sure never to miss this segment...now, not so much.
Washington Week
This program has always been a favorite. Robert Costa brought a level of experience, expertise, clarity in his presentation of topics and interaction with reporters. I love and appreciate Yamiche Alcindor but not for this program. Also I have not been able to access the extra right away as I used to through the pbs website.
pbs passport to nowhere
I contribute to PBS ... but will shortly call them (and my bank) and stop contributing. Four of us ... have spent probably 7 or 8 hours total ... trying to get 'passport' to work so that I can see shows on the PBS app on my TV .... does not work ... I will certainly tell family members not to 'support' PBS ... and I will discontinue my support.
Who Will CPB Support?
Congress just gave CPB another significant increase in its future federal funding, yet there is no public-facing strategy to ensure any of it will reach BIPOC documentary filmmakers who are eager to work in public media. A lot of people who signed on to support bipocmakers.com and publicmediaforall.com are fighting for a post-Ken Burns world. Where can people go to learn more about CPB's plans for its $50M increase?
donation
Two weeks ago I made a $60 donation to WDTV in Detroit. I received a confirmation but did not receive a code to access PBS Passport, as was promised from a PBS telephone operator. She said I would receive the code the day I made a donation. Since then I have tried to contact WDTV by email and phone five times, asking them to send me a code. No one replied. No code was sent. I have been a contributor for four decades but 'm afraid I have made my last donation. I live in Windsor, Canada, directly across the border to Detroit. - Brian Bannon
A1 Radio
Dear CPB Ombudsman,
As a liberal Democrat and someone committed to minority rights, I am dismayed at my own annoyance with the IMO heavy programming about minority & underclass issues on Jenn White's A1 radio show which I listen to most mornings. While Ms. White is clearly very talented and does an excellent job, the mega dose of minorities injustices --- altho valid --- just gets tiresome. Maybe it's not the topics themselves, rather either their repetitive, downbeat slant or their overlay on stories in other news channels about the generally depressing state of the country/world. I'm emotionally exhausted.
I'd love to hear some positive stories on other critical issues as well such as the environment, economy, student loan debt, health care costs/access, the pandemic, etc. --- especially ones looking at progress being made, not just grievances and problems.
Thank you for considering my opinion.
Respectfully, Anne Blaisdell
Ad Council commercial
Can you please stop running the commercial of the Ad Council which starts, 'Should I get it? Is it safe?' This is sending a terrible message about the Covid vaccination. IT IS SAFE! YES YOU SHOULD GET IT! I understand that you need the money but please stop running this one.

Judy Woodruff
Hello, Why doesn’t Judy Woodruff ever do White House fact checks anymore as she always did in ‘17-‘21.

Swan Lake
Please air Swan Lake in protest of Russia's invasion of Ukraine. It was the only program that aired on a loop when the Soviet Union fell. This might be symbolic, but powerful. It could run as a fundraiser for the Ukrainian people.
