I quit my late evening job, but hubby brings me coffee from dunkin donuts every AM like clockwork and comes and checks in on me. doesn't get much better than that. And I have a cool freelancing gig. With The Takeaway starting up and hearing John and Adaora every AM, that's a pretty good change/ upgrade.

When I open The Takeaway site in the morning, I'd like to see the graphic of US sites include the Beautiful Pacific Northwest. :^> Mt. Rainier would fit in perfectly behind/to the left of the California 'palms'.
With or without your acknowledgment of our existence, I'll be listening!
All the best,
Evelyn

Hi! My morning had a new radio show. I'ts good.
However, i would make the subtle humor tone with the news less constant. Also, i would reduce the transition electronic 'bourne identity' music licsk; more likely eliminat it.

i agree with Henry about getting rid of the music transitions, which are also too loud vis a vis the content, and also with getting rid of the subtle humor tone. I also think that there's a too fast and frenetic tone to the whole show. I need a slower, calmer, presentation of your pieces or I'm gone.

"The take away" you are so wrong. Let me count the ways: 1. commentators don't need to talk to one another and 2. laugh at each others comments as in every other morning talk shows. 3. Quiet, thoughtful news stories encourage reflective thoughts. 4. If I wanted music, I would go elsewhere.

I agree with the previous post. A little frenetic for my taste (I need to ease into my mornings ;>)
I also found some of the background music playing during some of the news reports more than annoying.

Sorry, this format was driving me batty this morning. All that bantering sounded like any ole commercial radio, I kept wondering about what the news were. The music got on my nerves too, I ended up switching stations until 7am so I could listen to regular WNYC programming. Too hectic & campy a program for 6:30am! (or any other time for that matter)

Some changes I've been intending to make to my morning ... mmmm ... well, instead of listening to the news, I've felt I should turn off the radio and go get some fresh air (resuming my morning walks). Your program has given me the incentive to turn off the radio. Thanks!
