I am heartened to hear such thoughtful, intelligent discussions of democracy and the right and responsibility to vote. I appreciate the historical perspective of the founders, interlaced with contemporary issues, such as spotted owls and family farms. I never paid much attention to Montana before and I value the opportunity to appreciate the argument that, maybe, Montana is what the founders had in mind for informed democracy and democratic representation. I came to care for and respect these people in profound ways, and I wasn't expecting this. The sound mixing is very dynamic and I loved the music, both instrumental and vocal. The songs were much more sophisticated and humorous than I would have expected. I never heard a "Hearing Voices" broadcast from start to finish until today, as I've never lived near a station that carried the show. I have to say, if all your broadcasts are this caring, professional, respectful and engaging as this one, "Hearing Voices" will now be one of my favorite radio shows. This close to a midterm election that seems to require screaming, preposterous claims about theologies and misinterpretations of the US Constituition, this broadcast was like cool water on my parched throat. Thank you and best wishes. I did not expect to be so deeply moved by the people in this broadcast.
