So a while back I had this crazy idea - why not do a radio program.  This week, that crazy idea met a reality.

Here is what we are trying to do.  We want to create a program that takes a couple of important issues of the week and kick them around for a bit each weekend.  We would throw in a few odds and ends to make the medicine go down a bit easier but at its heart it will still be a program about the events that are shaping our lives.  The big, the important and sometime the under-reported.  We will look at them through new eyes when we can and stay away from the usual characters that populate the world of modern media.  It is amazing how many smart people there are out there who don't do three minute cable TV interviews.

In some ways it is what I have done for 30 years though the medium is different.  TV is very different from radio. And radio is very different from what I remembered as a kid who hosted talk shows before he really knew much of anything.  But it is not completely different.  Radio remains intimate.  Unlike TV, radio is allowed to breathe, guests are allowed to finish sentences and thoughts, conversations are just that.  The prospects are very alluring.

This week is a start, no more and no less.  No of us involved and there are more than a few have any real idea if we will get to where we want to be.  But that is always the way it is with crazy ideas.  But we have to start somewhere and we start here, this week in this place, and with you.  It's nice to be back.
