Hi Mark, 

I just listened to your May 1 interview with Matt Legge, and was again reminded of what a great interviewer you are; ie., you clearly have read and understood the book being discussed and, beyond that, your questions coax responses that stimulate further thought in the listeners and, I suspect, also in the interviewee (that was certainly the case when you interviewed me, way back when, about Refusing to be Enemies ). 

I was also interested in your suggestion that Matt (or listeners?) look into getting Northern Spirit Radio carried by Canadian broadcasters. Although there are smaller, independent broadcasters and podcast producers in Canada, I think it would make sense to approach the CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation), which is heard all over the country and also has an extensive podcast system. It strikes me, for example, that your 55-minute shows would fit nicely with the format of CBC Ideas, as a possible place to start (I notice that they often rebroadcast older series, suggesting that their may well be room for new material).

If you have any suggestions as to how to begin (if Matt isn't already doing this), please let me know. 

 

Thanks again for your skillful and important work,
