Hi Aimee,
I really enjoyed the interview on race that you did this morning, 9/5, with the authors, a black man and a white man. Would you please give me the name/authors of the book? I’m not able to listen to your archives.
Thank you, Zoe Holder
Thanks, Zoe!
I interviewed the authors of Black/White Divide in America…Still. Here is the link to the book on Amazon

Best!
Re: your response above, would you please refer listeners in the future, to their independent book stores? They need our support, and any store can order the book for her.
I very much appreciate your work on the Morning Show. I’d like you to reconsider your responses to some callers. This a.m. a police officer called to ask for an off-mike discussion re: dealing with violence. You quickly responded adamantly that the entire community needs to be talking with each other. This is certainly true, but I wish you would take a moment to appreciate the caller’s intention, then add your own oppinion.
On another morning, in a discussion about the lack of education and rehabilitation in our prisons, a woman who works in “corrections” called in. She started to say that attempts are being made to implement programs, but that they need to see it they’re effective first.
I would have really liked to have heard about that woman’s first hand experience and what is being done where she works. But you seemed to dismiss her call because it didn’t quite fit into the perspective being expressed in the interview.
I know you have been, and continue to be, a wonderful advocate for causes in our community. In your role as a journalist though, I think you would be more effective if you can stand back a bit from your personal viewpoints, make room for a wide variety of opinions, and really listen and respond respectfully to them.
Thanks again for your fine work.
