The youths think this is cool now (much like calling them “the youths”)! When I did it in grade school I was mocked. Turns out I was just two generations ahead of my time. #mismatchedbeforeitwascool #unwittingsockhipster

It usually takes coercion…or me being fed up enough about walking through slush that I just go get it out of the way.

So here’s the discussion we’re having at KBIA: I tend to agree it seems the ethical thing to do to drop X (as NPR and many other member stations have done). But is there a risk that, in so doing, we give up on reaching audiences who might not be served by public media yet (and NEED better info)?

P.S. big fan of your work!
