NPR: Happy Birthday TMM!

Happy Birthday TMM!

Happy Birthday to us. Now begins Birthday week. It's the week we celebrate our first anniversary.

I am a believer in Birthday week. Don't you think you deserve a whole week to celebrate yourself?

So for the last few weeks we've been collecting comments from you about what you are enjoying - and what you aren't (we can take it) and we will play them as the week goes forward.
Meanwhile we'll be visiting with some of the people who we met over the course of the year. We started today with Holly Adams Sherman. She is the mother of Leslie Sherman, one of the 32 people killed by a fellow student at Virginia Tech last April. We wanted to know how she is doing and she was kind enough to tell us. Rock on Holly. what she has decided to do might really surprise you.

And we are following the news ... because that's what we do. The Sean Bell case - the verdict came in on Friday in the case of the three New York City detectives who were charged collectively with eight crimes in connection with the shooting of an unarmed Bell and two companions on the eve of Bell's wedding ... including first and second degree manslaughter, felony assault and reckless endangerment. We had several interviews on this story. Check it out.

Happy Birthday TMM! I've throughly enjoyed the show this past year, and I've been listening since the show was in development. Keep up the great work! I hope to continue to listen for many years to come.

Kudos to the all of the Tell Me More staff!

H.B. TMM!!! From the moment I heard that Michel Martin was joining NPR I knew my news & info life would be brighter. What I didn't expect what the amazing team would create TMM. From the diversity of views to the show's apparent love and interest in brownness & otherness without a tinge of exclusion. Mostly though, TMM affirms for me that intelligent inquiry can lead to a life more fully viewed in all directions. Thanks for all the hard work! P.S. I would love to hear more show concerning USA Asian American life.
