Who?

Usually, my colleagues at NPR are spot on both in hard news and soft features, but yesterday…. not so much.

Robert Siegel introduced an interview with an upstart NCAA tourney team by explaining this group of young men was the “feel-good story of March Madness.”… The first team from their conference to reach the Sweet Sixteen since 1979 … done it without the benefit of any likely NBA top draft picks.
He then introduced the senior forward from….. Cornell University.
East Coast bias? Ivy League elitism? Or maybe the Sports Illustrated with Ali Farokhmanesh on the cover just hadn’t arrived at the NPR offices yet.

Survey Says!

Survey Says!-Dennis

Thanks again to everyone who participated in KCCK’s recent Listener Survey. We had over 200 responses, which ran the gamut from “We love everything you do” to “You suck pretty much all the time” and everything in between.

In years past, we would have shared the results and comments with our staff, and maybe put a summary in a newsletter article. But today, we can post the whole darn thing so anyone who is interested can take a look. So, we’ve done so, down this page. It’s mostly all there, warts and all. The only editing we’ve down is to take out a couple of really uncalled-for personal attacks against a couple of our staff, and taken out one particularly profane entry.
