I will talk about non-weather topics with other KPLU reporters and on other radio stations/media outlets...several have offered me the opportunity whenever I would like.

I'd be interested having him comment on this. I thought that that was one of his issues with KUOW. He wanted to express his views on other topics. Nearly all of us shared his point of view, I think.Kalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09164923285735299527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-50981869138765769242011-08-16T08:01:53.837-07:002011-08-16T08:01:53.837-07:00FINALLY!

I'm thrilled to hear about this. I admire and respect KPLU and its professional staff and I think this is a perfect fit. When I heard about the debacle with KUOW, my first thought was: "Come to KPLU!" I do believe this will be a superb collaboration.

I've been wishing they would expand (I know it shrinks the jazz, sorry) and your contribution is a wonderful match.<br />I do agree with previous posts that a podcast would be a great value-added feature. I'm not always able to listen at the appointed time and would sign up for your podcast in a Northwest minute.sewhidbeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15814303827747129347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-51200007554076258552011-08-13T23:58:56.822-07:002011-08-13T23:58:56.822-07:00Great!

KPLU seems to do a good job of splitting out their special segments as separate podcasts (something KUOW hasn't figured out, actually) - it would make perfect sense, especially given your already large following.Westside guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07171473508596734156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-2099602096873887992011-08-13T21:00:42.461-07:002011-08-13T21:00:42.461-07:00I knew KPLU was your spot!

Thought you might like to read it.<br />-------------I never realized that KUOW and KPLU were so different from each other, but I realize the difference now! We have always supported public radio and listen to it almost exclusively. Now we will be even more selective.<br /><br />We love Cliff Mass. He is intelligent and willing to speak his mind - even if it's not popular. His opinions are well-researched and reasoned. He backs up his opinions with facts and encourages others to form their own opinions and take action. <br /><br />Cliff Mass is an educational leader. The US is sorely in need of leaders right now, as is Seattle. And, being a teacher myself, I can say that the K-12 educational system doesn't seem to have any leaders at all, locally or nationally. I try to do what I can in my classroom, but my reach is small. I do not have the ear of the public - Cliff Mass does and he isn't afraid to use it. If people don't want to listen, they won't. I say - let the public choose for themselves.<br /><br />Any adult who advocates for the betterment of future generations is a hero in our book. Go, Cliff, go!<br /><br />Thank you KPLU! We'll be listening!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-28629156242678028402011-08-13T08:14:17.214-07:002011-08-13T08:14:17.214-07:00As a long time listener and supporter of KPLU, and...As a long time listener and supporter of KPLU, and a long time fan of yours (both your segment on that other station and your blog), this is great news!Bradhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13604737834485922238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-29480612954133486042011-08-13T08:02:23.019-07:002011-08-13T08:02:23.019-07:00Congrats on the new show.

He was explaining how they are now using a web based weather info site to make all kinds of decisions regarding crop management. Here is the site they use. <br /><br />http://weather.wsu.edu/<br /><br />If you register I think you get access into more data.<br /><br />Thought it was a good example of public communication and utilization of weather data. It is definitely heavy on Eastern Wash data as you would expect.Donhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11108864457874688399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-60151261375759066402011-08-12T18:31:55.051-07:002011-08-12T18:31:55.051-07:00Excellent!
