I hope you’ll get a chance to describe and discuss just what the NFB is and what it stands for. This morning show with Mr. </span>Dankosky is generally quite focused on political and local headline related topics as I recall. Another good venue, if it could be arranged, would be the Collin McEnroe show in the afternoon. This is another local NPR show that’s often more geared towards interesting causes, perspectives, and peoples the public doesn’t usually get exposed to. If I do say so myself, the NFB, though robust, consists of people with valuable perspectives and causes the general public doesn’t ordinarily hear. Dr. Maurer in fact took a jab at an episode of the Public Radio show “This American Life” during his banquet speech this year. This is a show I rather enjoy, but in this instance, it presented a comedian all too willing to play to popular blindness stereotypes in order to get attention. What we need instead is positive dignified attention.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Best of luck to Justin<span style='font-family:Wingdings'>J</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Trevor A.<span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #B5C4DF 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>From:</span></b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'> Ct-nfb [mailto:ct-nfb-bounces@nfbnet.org] <b>On Behalf Of </b>Justin Salisbury<br><b>Sent:</b> Tuesday, August 06, 2013 2:49 PM<br><b>To:</b> NFB of Connecticut Mailing List<br><b>Subject:</b> Re: [Ct-nfb] NPR/Connecticut Public Radio<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal>Thank you, Beth!<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>This accomplishment is not only mine.
