Refreshingly smart interviewing -- this is a radio series that you should hear and share: a complement to evening or weekend news programming.
Host/producer Jenny Attiyeh ((ah-TEE-ah)) does her homework and is mindful of her listeners' need for context to better comprehend the intricacies of the issues that touch us all. That comes as no surprise as Attiyeh is a seasoned reporter having worked for the BBC, KCRW, WBUR and WNYC as well as in public television. She counts among her mentors Charles Nesson and Chris Lydon and it shows in her style.
Having queried her at some length, Attiyeh is genuinely interested in reaching listeners with this thought-provoking initiative. She is driven to provide programmers with content they can use -- to better target a specific audience or demographic, making for a collaborative effort that stations and listeners alike will appreciate. If you want to offer the program in a presentation that differs from the current format, Attiyeh is accommodating and professional.
Worth investigating for the autumn season.
