My producers and I book interviews that interest us and, we hope, you. But we are, after all, inside-the-beltway elitists* who are allegedly out of touch with America and we don’t know who you are if you don’t tell us. So I’m asking all of you to suggest issues the candidates have not addressed and important matters the media have not examined. What great story is brewing in your community that deserves national attention? The finest hour of radio we’ve produced was suggested by a listener, so I’m open to new ideas. You can share them as comments on this blog post–or send email to [email protected]. Do it anonymously if you like—no one will call your home or put you on a junk mail list. So drop us a line.

*Actually, two of my producers live way outside the beltway and I have no idea what an elitist is. I do know what elite means and all of my producers are elite. I work with the best.
How about an interview with the curator of the Will Rogers Memorial? How is Rogers still relevant today? At the time of his death, he was the number 1 box office star, as well as a columnist and commentator.
My comment wound up in the Garifeld Article for some reason..
While I enjoyed Jim Davis, I’d like to hear from some other cartoonists as well. I’m sure your out there trying, but I love to hear from, Bill Waterson (Calvin & Hobbes), Stephen Pastis (Pearls before Swine), Darby Conley (Get Fuzzy), and Berkley Breathed (Opus, Bloom County), & of course Gary Trudeau. I loved the Stand up comics as well, but I love to hear from Bill Cosby (One of the funniest to see in person), and Bill Engvall. I listen all the time, and our guests alway seem to surprise me, even when I look ahead, and see a guest and subject, and say I’m not going to be interested in that. Keep up the good work.
