Awful. Not worthy of public broadcasting. I don’t find this interesting, educational or artistic. Who wants to listen to people arguing? What’s up with the “I’m not Joe Frank” rant? And some of it should not be allowed on air before little ones go to bed.

i absolutely loves listening to this on NPR today. I was driving home from work and i was lucky enough to catch it right when it started. I listened to “God” all the way through “Ragged Claws”. All i can say is that it made me realize alot of things.

Thank you for sharing this with me

Joe Frank has been a profound inspiration over the years. Thank you airing this.

The first 15 or 20 minutes about God were amazing. I couldn’t stop listening. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I couldn’t have used better words myself. You were able to make my inner thoughts come alive with your uttered words.

Joe Frank is an awsome radio personality I admired for years. My buddy turned me on to his show some 25 yrs ago. I used to think he was moonlighting as the voice of the pig on the ‘Duckman’ cartoon. Similar voices though.

God’s a handwarmer on a hunting trip.
