Can your panel discuss (and explain) the ban on “naked short selling” that Germany has made, and I guess the EU finance ministers agreed to it this past week.
Two suggestions.
1) I would enjoy the show more if topics on Friday were not ones covered Thursday. Like Tom Gjelten pointed out during the Afghanistan discussion, Susan Page had done a great job of that topic on The Diane Rehm Show the day before. A country in need of an hour show would be Iraq. The elections were in March and still no government is an hour long topic.
2) With the ombudsman calling out NPR's news shows lack of equality in sources, I would like to see Diane's show lead the way. That would mean the Friday round ups would not have 4 male guests and 2 female ones each week but that is how it works out currently. I am sure that the show with its talented host and strong staff can find 3 women to feature as guests for the Friday news roundups.
One congratulations.
Diane Rehm earned the Peabody by having the best show on radio. Congratulations to Diane and her staff.
One thanks.
Susan Page is my favorite guest host. Whenever she's filling in, I always know the show's going to run smoothly and be time well spent. Thank you.
