Our listeners are savvy, active online consumers. Wets.org gives them a way to use this favored new medium in an easy, painless manner. Now that I've regained the chance to listen to my favorite station, I'm sending a contribution to help WETS continue to provide quality nation-wide programming. I think this innovation will bring eventual changes to public broadcasting, but I have faith that it will enhance, rather than diminish, the quality of the music, news, and programs available to the listener. I grew up in a small, isolated Kentucky town, and only on certain cloudy days could I find that spot in the attic where our old portable radio would pick up public radio from Whitesburg.
Public broadcasting has at last truly become a public medium.
Thanks for the quality programming. Three years in the making, Home and Away is a collection of stories, recipes, essays, poetry, regional history, and foodlore from over 500 contributors, whose common bond is East Tennessee State University. Students, faculty, staff, alumni, friends, and notable campus visitors have contributed over 1,000 entries, accompanied by some 400 photographs, in an effort to document the rich culinary heritage of this one university community.
