“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.””

“
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.””

“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.””

“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.””

“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.””

“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.””

“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!””

“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!””

“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.””

“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.””

“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.””

“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.””

“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.””

“Brian Kahn is an extremely skilled interviewer, bringing the best out in engineers as well as he does philosophers and old time Montana residents.””

“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.” ”

“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.” ”

“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.””

“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.” ”

“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.”
