Just listened
to your broadcast. All I can say is OUTSTANDING! – Joe L., Missoula
Thank you for your
interview (11/29/11). I found myself cheering for the radio as you pursued some entirely fair but tough questions.
I write this encouragement and thanks. There are many of us out here, cheering you on for what you do. – Thad
A., Helena
Just wanted to thank you for continuing to educate and inform us with Home Ground. I am always amazed at your ability
to help us all see more than one side to so many different issues and topics you cover. I have been a listener for many years
and you have always been able to widen my perspective on the issues and the people you present, all the while
I feel like I'm sitting at the kitchen table with you and your guests in a discussion over a cup of coffee. – Daniel
Durnam, Belgrade
Thank
you for your program about Sheila Devins, at the Liz Claiborne preschool. We need this joy for all people in these difficult
times. Thank you for this wonderful program. – Shirley Harrison
I've
listened to the show several times. It's one of the best interviews anybody ever did with me...ever.
Amazing how much ground you got over...and you did it so seamlessly. – Patricia Nell Warren,
Novelist
Through
thoughtful selection of folks from rural communities with diverse backgrounds combined with excellent preparation of insightful
questions Home Ground Radio has successfully advanced the linkage between economy, ecology, social needs and community
vitality, helping to create “common ground” in the Rural West. – Gordy
Sanders, Pyramid Lumber Company, Seeley Lake, Montana
When I carefully listened to the CD it was quite apparent how you evoked (through
persistence) responses from us to your penetrating questions. Twas a joy to be a participant. – Quentin
Schroeter, National Association on Mental Illness – Montana
I listen to you every Tuesday while
I run a saw in a lumber mill. I usually find your interviews fascinating because they put a person into the story,
rather than just the facts....when the program ends, I wish for another half hour – Dan Kostelnik, mill
worker, Belgrade, Montana
Every week I mean
to thank you for exemplary inteviewing; now, after Chief Justice Gray's time with you, I really want to thank
you. –Bob Filipovich
The fact is that 'Home Ground' is a wide-ranging, very interesting
show that gives people here a better sense of what is going on, who people are and what they're thinking about, than
any other show on either radio or television, public or private. – Gordon G. Brittan Jr., Professor
of Philosophy, Montana State University, Bozeman
Brian seems to have his finger on the pulse of the West
and find people and subjects not always widely known but so integral to our daily lives. I especially appreciate his non-patronizing
interviewing style. He asks penetrating questions. – Ellen Dudley, Sheridan,
Wyoming
Brian Kahn is an extremely skilled interviewer, bringing the best out in engineers
as well as he does philosophers and old time Montana residents. – William Shropshire, President,
American Chemet Corporation, East Helena, Montana
A dark and bitter story, Chris Dana, but I reckon his death, followed up as
it was by his brother and the (National) Guard, was not in vain. A strong intelligent interview –
Kahn didn't pull punches…. He just always gets more depth as well as more synthesis than most folks do. – Mary
Scriver, Browning, Montana
Thanks, as always, for your insightful interviews of the movers, shakers and
shapers of political, social and economic thought in Montana. It is a privilege to hear people interviewed with
such diligence. – John Snively, Missoula, Montana
Home Ground renewed my appreciation
for public radio in general and, particularly, for your special contribution to reasonable discourse on significant public
issues here in Montana. No other radio or, for that matter, television program that I'm aware of comes anywhere near
providing the focus, depth and objectivity your interviews provide. – Gordon R. Bennett,
Retired Judge, Helena, Montana
I listened to your interview with Sheila Devins this evening....she was fantastic,
but you also have a great knack of asking the right questions. What a wonderful program. – Rand
Herzberg
Fascinating,
informative shows.. How valuable I have found your program to be these past several years. It's given me more insight
into the history, culture and economics of Montana than any other media offering. Actually, no one else even seems
to be trying to do what you've been doing. You have a knack for conversing with your guests in a way that brings out the average
Montanan's point of view. – Jim Murphy, Butte, Montana
I just wanted you to know how much
I have enjoyed your program over time; I really like the way you are willing to talk to just about anyone with any
point of view and help your listeners to understand where others are coming from. Keep up the good work! – Dorothy
Patent, Missoula, Montana
We are terrifically impressed with Brian's interviews on Home Ground. His style is unique. He probes and asks
all the pointed questions we want asked, but does it in such a non-threatening way that the person he's interviewing
is put at ease and talks honestly and candidly. – Pat Tucker and Bruce Weide, Hamilton, Montana
I
am so grateful for your ‘Home Ground’ programs. You have been my Tuesday evening engagement for
a really long time…You are an excellent host, commentator, interviewer, and have wonderful (interesting) guests.
Thank you! – Mrs. A. C. Wallace, Billings, Montana
Thanks for doing Home Ground Radio every
week. It's one of the few media outlets where important but complicated issues get the intelligent, in-depth coverage
they deserve. Keep up the good work. – Michael Regan, Bozeman
You do an absolutely
uncanny job and I am flattered to be the subject of your craft. I think your producer also contributed a lot
to make me sound articulate beyond the reality. The results were very gratifying. – JG,
Guest
I
just listened to Home Ground… I thought it was excellent and that you asked all the right, hard questions. Bravo!
– Dick Thweatt, Helena
