Attentive listeners likely have determined that we’re revisiting some of our earlier programs this week. We do this because the show eats interviews as fast as I can do them. Once in awhile, we have to take a breather and re-run some old programs while building up a supply of new interviews. We’ve also learned that our newer listeners enjoy hearing the interviews they missed before discovering our show—and our older listeners enjoy hearing early favorites all over again. I feel the same. I loved hearing Frank McCourt’s stories of teaching high school in New York. I cherish the privilege of talking with Richard C. Hottelet, one of the pioneers of broadcast journalism. Jules Feiffer has found multiple outlets for his fertile imagination–cartoons, plays, films and now, children’s books. Robert Klein has been making me laugh for decades.
Next week, somethings old, somethings new, and our long-promised documentary on homeless children which will feature amazing stories you won’t want to miss. I’ll have much more to say about that in coming days.

Exactly so, Charlie. And since the show is only three years old, no one can be an "older" listener.

Hey! I prefer to think of those of us who are young in spirit as "loyal" or "long-time" listeners!
Happy holidays to all!
