Dan Rylance on Last Radio Commentary
Radio Commentary will be on hiatus for the summer, and maybe even longer. The final interview was conducted tonight with regular guest Dan Rylance. That interview can be found here. We talk about a variety of local issues including the recent school board recount election, the Miller's Bay Pier, the garbage tax, and many others.
I teach Communication Studies (First Amendment, Classical Rhetoric, Civic Engagement, Rhetoric of Rock Music) at UW Oshkosh. Served two terms on Oshkosh City Council. Originally from Brooklyn, NY.

I was only able to listen to a part of the show since I am dogged by aggressive and persistant reality these days.
Surely you can find some minion, I mean, volunteer talent to deal with the technical aspects and continue the show.
But why not both of you? You seem to have a similar perspective on issues, and yet, not. I'd guess the "not" part comes from different personality structures. Anyway, an interesting chemical mix. Not as tedious as a "point/counterpoint" thing - those get to be endless harangues with no real interaction (Jane, you ignorant slut! You have to be old to get that one). I think it would have a stabilizing influence in that some guests are more "vibrant" than others, etc, and the two hosts would even out the show. You know, like the legendary and dynamic Regis and Kathi Lee team or something. If things get slow you could compliment each other's outfits....
I bet the show will be back in the fall. May 2 hours even if you ask.
