A Forward-looking Retreat

Your Listening Post is a little tardy this week because most of NCPR has been engaged in our annual staff retreat. Our suffering has been ameliorated by the posh splendor of the fall foliage and the sunny ease of dockside conversation on Lake Ozonia, serenaded by geese and loons (not us--the feathered kind). Too bad we actually have to plan and decide and work.

A few of the questions we are looking at: How do we participate usefully in the national debate (or lack of debate) that is taking us toward war? How can we broaden the range of voices within our programs and the range of ears within our audience? How do we bring along the next generation of listeners and speakers in public broadcasting? You, no doubt, have your own notions regarding these topics, and your own notions of other topics we ought to be considering while we navel-gaze. But we won't know what they are unless you tell us.
