Jill from Lee, MA

The breadth of conversations and people invited on air is exciting, engaging, and educational. In addition, I learn so much from listeners who call in to share their own experiences related to the topic at hand. In fact, in this most recent election, hearing how the different questions on the ballot would impact those directly affected by the law proposed helped me gain a better understanding as a voter. Plus I just love the silliness and friendly banter between Margery and Jim…reminds me not to always take things so seriously. Yes, we have to “pace the rage” but we must never forget to find some joy. Thank you! PS: I’m a sustaining member and LONG TIME listener. Keep it coming! Bravo!
