First, i'll say I'm african-american. I heard your show on my local NPR station, WAMU, 88.5 in D.C. Is the show really hosted by a young black man? Really? If so, I'm absolutely elated, and will e-mail to my assoc. & post on FB!
Congratulations, and much success. The first episode I heard was about the mid-West town that rebuilt following a devastating tornado.
I'm elated to hear you; I'll let WAMU know also!
