Love the show-bring back the other theme music!

I thoroughly enjoy the Saturday and Sunday AM chats. I do miss the original theme music, though. It was changed sometime in the last several weeks and it’s nowhere near as good as the original music. The vibe of the original music was just so perfect for this show. But overall, a lovely weekend show.
New Song

Love the show. Make sure I tune in every Sunday, since last year. However, the new theme song is terrible. Please go back to the original. Made the topics being covered more motivational. Keep up the great work though.
Interesting Perspectives

Unusual take on the news of the world interspersed with interesting stories not heard other places. The host keeps the pace brisk and the tone bright. Seems to take particular glee in pointing out the ridiculous aspects of US culture which is undoubtedly well deserved though sometimes comes across a little snobby.
Enjoyable, light fare

Interesting perspective of global news. I especially like hearing the views of correspondents from Japan and Switzerland. Too much time is dedicated to wine.
