Now might be a good time to let you know that, although I am writing in the first-person singular, I am by no means doing this by myself. Sitting one office over is my pal Marie Nelson. She is a former producer and colleague of mine at ABC News Nightline and she came over here a couple of months after I did to help us get this show off the ground. Marie has an interesting background, but the short version is: very international, scary smart, fabulous wardrobe. In short, I hate her. I would have HER tell you a little bit more about herself, but she's too busy editing an interview I just did. So, more on her later.

And working two floors below us is Sue Goodwin, the executive producer of Talk of the Nation, who's also been helping us navigate the rocky shoals of a startup. Sue has worked on just about every show at NPR as well as on the Science Desk. She is amazing: a great listener, super efficient, fun to talk to -- except when she gets all nostalgic about cutting audio tape with razor blades. Spare me!

'Tell Me More' with Michel Martin

"Nothing is assumed." That's the unofficial motto of Tell Me More, the new Monday-Friday talk show with host Michel Martin. Grounded in lively interviewing and compelling storytelling, the program seeks to present diverse new voices, cross borders, challenge conventional wisdom and discover how other people think.
