I got a chance to go to Columbus, Ohio and Ann Arbor, Michigan, this past week/end and met LOTS of News and Notes listeners. I actually don't like the word "listener" as much as participant..because what you tell us really does shape what we do.

I was at the Columbus Museum of Art on Thursday night giving a talk on the art of intervention... part of the museum's great annual conference. The speech was linked to the Schiller Collection, works of art that have a connection to society and social justice. Met some great folks who listen in Ohio on WCBE and from the other places they were visiting from.

And in Ann Arbor, I went to a wonderful African-American book club, "In Good Company." It meets at Nicola's Bookstore. Met LOTS of folks who listen on WDET.

Thanks folks!
