I am a 56 y.o. African american male and I love listening to NPR. However, I find Ayesha Rascoe, host of Sunday morning Weekend Edition, to be intolerable. Her voice, her enunciation and especially her pronunciations are atrocious. For example, her intro, verbatim, sounds like this: "I Mysha Rascoe an dis is weeken edition". Please NPR, do something!

I seldom feel compelled to complain, but as a sustaining supporter of WITF radio, this host's voice is awful. Her delivery is poor. Her voice is not refreshing nor are her poorly placed comments appropriate. She needs to go. She literally ruins the show. Please replace her immediately.

After viewing Judy Woodruff's report on the demise of local newspapers on last night's PBS NewsHour, I thought she and her team might be interested in some good news from Maine. The Portland Press Herald and numerous daily and weekly papers which had been offered for sale have been purchased by the National Trust for Local News, a non-profit that has pledged to preserve and invest in local news. That followed the resurrection of the monthly Harpswell Anchor as a non-profit in 2021. The Anchor ceased publication in 2020 and unlike most free papers, carried more news than ads and its loss was felt deeply by local residents. According to a report in DownEast magazine, many local residents and businesses contributed to its revival while several noted journalists serve on its board. Just want you to know how much we appreciate the PBS NewsHour. It's been a trusted source of news for us for many years. We particularly like its in-depth approach which is far more informative and satisfying than the brief segments on the network news.

August 3, 2023 To The Corporation for Public Broadcasting: I purchased a portable television with an antenna. I purchased an extra antenna, as well. Both antennas are only receiving signals from three channels. There are 18 free channels in my area. I cannot see Telemundo (14) or Univision (18) which are free channels on 14 and 18. These are the Spanish channels. Sincerely, A****a M******z-S**o

I am disappointed by the new host or should I say new moderator of Washington Week. I do not find that Jeffrey Goldberg acted as a moderator. He is a very partisan person and has long been so in his roll as editor of the Atlantic. The Atlantic used to be a literary magazine, but it lost its roots when it left Boston for DC. Under Goldberg and his immediate predecessors, The Atlantic has become a mouth piece for the left-wing. I cannot imagine Goldberg doing otherwise for Washington Week. On yesterdays introductory show he led the discussion with his own biased point of view instead of eliciting thoughts and ideas from the guests. I have been a long time listener of the show and I long for the kind of discussion and analysis and REPORTING that occurred when Paul Duke was in the lead-chair. I hope for a different outcome, but I expect that Goldberg will be delivering the same old tired 'journalism' that is threat to 'our' democracy.

I want to cancel my membership. All the talk about how great Beyonce is better than church and all the hip hop crap is not for me. How do I cancel my membership?
