Whether it's through email, Facebook, Twitter, or via beautifully cut out hearts and collages sent through the postal service (yes, we did receive such creative correspondence), we love to hear from you. And we read everything. Really. Here are a few listener voices commenting on three of our last shows. And, just because it collectively made our day here, one general thanks for the existence of TTBOOK.
Brian Chaltry via Facebook, on "Why Go to War":
"This was a seriously insightful show that opened my eyes to a perspective I had not previously considered (namely, if the West were to leave the Middle East, China and its human rights abuses would fill the vacuum). It's forcing me to examine my generally pacifist, libertarian, non-aggression principle views even deeper. Thanks for this."
Dian Piekarski via Facebook, on "Wintering in the Wild":
"How anyone can look at nature and not believe in a divine creator, God, is beyond me. Science does not explain it."
Paige Roberts, New Hampshire, on "Time Beyond the Clock":
"I just discovered your show/podcast. I loved your" Time Beyond the Clock" episode. Thanks for recording it loud enough that I can hear it through my phone in my car on the highway. I couldn't find the listener survey you mentioned on the Time episode so am writing in here. I am particularly interested in history of science (nature, physics, brain/mind) and scholarly conversations/interviews. My other favorite podcasts are Hidden Brain, Time to Eat the Dogs, CBC Ideas, On Being, BBC The Forum, BBC Inside Science, BBC World Service Discovery, BBC Arts & Ideas, Living on Earth. Thanks so much!"
Susan Sentenac, Florida:
"TTBOOK is consistently inspiring, intelligent, thought provoking, and [a] true gem of radio broadcasting. Thank you."
For the next three weeks, we're re-airing our series on Hope. I would love to fill upcoming newsletters with our listeners' words about hope, whether about the show and your thoughts on it, or your ideas about hope today in your own lives. What gives you hope? Email me at Shannon.kleiber@wpr.org.
