You're right, if it's not a passion you have no business in it. Public radio is a space for voices beyond the boring, standard fare we get on commercial radio stations. Your husband, Greg, is a sterling example of what a terrific show a real voice can produce. I'm happy to share a little of what I have to encourage voices like his to speak out and share their messages.<br><br>Thank you for devoting some space and attention to this cause, Johanna. Your voice rocks, too.<br><br>Take care,<br>JCJC Rosenhttp://jessrosen.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8150322794779933406.post-3810711211088817842011-10-28T06:37:00.000-06:002011-10-28T06:37:00.000-06:00Thanks, John!

In this model, DJs are local volunteers and the stations grow from and are supported by community members. The flavor is much more home-grown and the shows much more diverse than programming found elsewhere.<br><br>Radio Boise has only been on the air here for six months and I'm listening to the radio all the time now. I love listening to shows w/out that canned feel and I'm always finding new music I like (and old music I'd forgotten about). <br><br>If you lived here, I know you'd have a show. You'd be perfect.Johanna Harnesshttp://www.johannaharness.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8150322794779933406.post-73803543927934303092011-10-28T05:48:50.000-06:002011-10-28T05:48:50.000-06:00I kicked myself Wed because I overslept & miss...I kicked myself Wed because I overslept & missed Greg's show. It's always so good, I hate to miss it. You're right that Public Radio folks generally and I'm sure Radio Boise folks specifically give huge amounts of time and energy to making such good stuff available to us all. I can't do much of course(it's the economy) but I will certainly get over there to do what I can. <br><br>Thank you for donating your time and blog space to the effort. ;-)John Ross Barnesnoreply@blogger.com
