	6:27am Brian D: Mr. G! Will!
	6:29am Barbie: Good morning this show is such a nice way to start the day.
	6:33am Brian D: ↳ Barbie @6:29 Thank you, Barbie. Good morning.
	6:35am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @6:26 He's not wrong.
	6:38am morphe': ↳ Song: "Hint of Apology" by "Room 31" Made me think of Frederic Rzewski’s Attica ... [not a request, just an observation ... informative article below] and now we have Black Panther !!!! https://www.blankforms.org/journal/attica-is-in-front-of-me-mingus-rzewski-shepp
	⚡ 6:39am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Brian D @6:35 i knew that trump was coming from somewhere but it was the first time i've seen him linked to the constitution. berman also called bullshit on supreme court justices' fawning over constitution like its some sacred manuscript
	6:41am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @6:39 They do that when it's convenient.
	6:43am Brian D: ↳ morphe' @6:38 Thanks for the link, Morphe. I'll check that out later. I've actually never listened to that.
	6:43am morphe': ↳ tom tom the pipers son @6:39 The right's faux ".. we are strict 'textualist' practitioners" is complete BS...
	⚡ 6:45am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Brian D @6:41 but its also a fawning that fawns over the 'purity' of 'founding fathers' ...it's a kind of idolatry...
	⚡ 6:45am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ morphe' @6:43 yes...
	6:46am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @6:45 Well, it feeds into that whole "America-can-do-no-wrong-and-never-has" deal.
	⚡ 6:49am Michael of Cologne: Good noonday, Brian & all. Pity that my Saturdays are always so busy, busy.
	⚡ 6:49am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Brian D @6:46 yes, and since the founders all fathers, reinforces phallocentrism
	6:50am Brian D: ↳ Michael of Cologne @6:49 Hallo, Michael. Pull up a radio and relax.
	6:51am Brian D: "Men, men, men / This ship's all full with men..."
	⚡ 6:51am NotARealDoctor in Norfolk VA: Good morning from the dog park. Chilly this morning, but we don't mind as long as the ball is flying.
	⚡ 6:52am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Brian D @6:51 ha!
	6:53am Toothgrinder Tom: The good news about Trump is that he’s a proven loser: he and his preferred candidates lose time and again when they run for office. He also lost on Ukraine aid this week - to mild-mannered speaker of the house Mike Johnson.
	6:54am Brian D: ↳ NotARealDoctor in Norfolk VA @6:51 Greetings, sir. No dog park for us... Our Lira had "minor" surgery Wednesday. Her younger "brother" is fit to be tied.
	⚡ 6:55am Peter from Saranac Lake NY: Good morning Brian and assembled news hounds.
	6:56am Brian D: ↳ Peter from Saranac Lake NY @6:55 Good morning, Peter!
	6:56am Brian D: ↳ Toothgrinder Tom @6:53 Good morning, Tom. I hope the losing "streak" continues, but I'm not optimistic.
	⚡ 6:56am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Toothgrinder Tom @6:53 he didn't cave to maga, but don't let the mild manner fool you...check the guy's track record
	6:56am dale: ↳ Song: "Blame Me" by "The Violet Mine" morning. this is lovely.
	6:57am rich in angleton: good morning Brian! Hello everybody!
	6:59am Strandlund: Good Morning Brian!! Good Morning, Afternoon and Evening to everyone tuning in!!
	7:00am morphe': ↳ Toothgrinder Tom @6:53 Saw Johnson talk after the meeting with orangeman and orangeman at his side ... aside from licking orangeman's arse ... Johnson seems quite articulate and seemed to be speaking without extended notes .... he could be formidable in the future now that he has become a known factor ...
	⚡ 7:00am tom tom the pipers son: was going to say how good that heron oblivion sounded
	7:02am Toothgrinder Tom: @morphe I thought at first you meant Orange men as in those people who parade through Belfast …
	7:04am Krys O.: Good morning!
	7:04am Brian D: Rich! Strand!
	7:04am Brian D: ↳ Krys O. @7:04 Hey Krys!
	7:05am Toothgrinder Tom: @Brian my optimism is quite guarded.
	7:06am morphe': ↳ Toothgrinder Tom @7:02 it is an echo compression of idiocy ... 12July is just around the corner ....knuckleheads are getting their supplies delivered for the bonfires ...
	7:07am fred: Good morning Brian and all
	⚡ 7:07am NotARealDoctor in Norfolk VA: ↳ Brian D @6:54 Poor Lira, a speedy recovery to her, and hopefully next Saturday everyone will be back at it
	7:07am Cooh John: Good morning Brian and current eventers.
	7:08am morphe': https://www.irishnews.com/news/northern-ireland/hundreds-of-mattresses-dumped-at-controversial-bonfire-site-JZTSXVQN5ZBAPFHNIAIZONYSDQ/
	⚡ 7:09am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Brian D @6:54 sorry to hear about the pup... hope she's ok
	7:10am Brian D: ↳ morphe' @7:06 Was thinking the same thing when you wrote orangeman/orangemen.
	7:11am Brian D: ↳ fred @7:07 Bonjour Fred.
	7:11am Otto: Don’t forget the IDF bombing of those Reuters journalists in Lebanon
	7:11am Brian D: ↳ NotARealDoctor in Norfolk VA @7:07 Thank you! Yes, she's doing well.
	7:11am Brian D: ↳ Cooh John @7:07 Greetings Cooh John.
	7:13am Strandlund: ↳ Brian D @6:54 A speedy recovery to Lira!!
	7:14am fred: ↳ morphe' @7:08 Orangeman has been said to release toxic fumes in the atmosphere during his trial too
	7:16am morphe': ↳ Song: "Interview: Diane Foley" She is so articulate and sanely spot on ...
	7:17am Brian D: ↳ Otto @7:11 And the appalling number of journalists and photojournalists killed in Gaza. And the US killed Reuters journalists in Iraq in 2005.
	7:18am Brian D: ↳ morphe' @7:16 She's as positive and lovely as she sounds. An incredible person.
	7:19am fred: ↳ Otto @7:11 And many others, Shireen Abu Akleh was just the most blatant, yet nothing came out of that murder
	7:25am TDK60: Good morning.
	7:27am Just Jim: Inspiring interview Brian. Beautiful. What a strong person.
	7:27am Otto: Excellent interview, thank you 🙏
	⚡ 7:27am Peter from Saranac Lake NY: ↳ Song: "Interview: Diane Foley" Great interview. Thank you Brian.
	7:27am Brian D: ↳ TDK60 @7:25 Greetings TDK!
	7:28am Brian D: ↳ Just Jim @7:27 Hey Jim! Yes, so strong and positive.
	7:28am fred: ↳ Song: "The Empty Chair" by "Sting" I hope Clint Eastwood won't be talking to it
	7:30am Brian D: ↳ fred @7:28 It's the only conversation partner he has that doesn't intimidate him intellectually.
	7:33am Cooh John: Very nice interview, Brian. No wonder I love your show. We share a love of music, work in journalism, and 4 years of Jesuit education.
	7:35am Brian D: ↳ Cooh John @7:33 Were a select few, Cooh.
	7:36am Otto: As a former soldier I find the issue of reporting in war zones confounding. We need the reporters there, witnessing what is happening, but without the means to defend themselves they’re at the mercy of those with guns
	7:36am fred: ↳ Cooh John @7:33 @Brian: With the current(!) shipping rates I can't in good conscience join this giveaway
	⚡ 7:37am NotARealDoctor in Norfolk VA: Great interview, Brian and great timing because it's time for me to check out and we're gonna go have breakfast with Mom and Dad and let our dogs play together
	7:38am Brian D: ↳ fred @7:36 I might hand deliver it to France...
	7:40am fred: ↳ Otto @7:36 I met a guy from Colombia though the boards, introduced him to another Colombian friend, turned out they attended the same Jesuit school. Apparently the only part of the higher education system that was available to non rich people at the time
	7:41am Brian D: We have a winner of the book. Thank you all.
	7:42am dale: ↳ Song: "Le Christ est dans le bruit" by "Saints Martyrs" thought this was nick cave speaking french.
	⚡ 7:43am Peter from Saranac Lake NY: ↳ Brian D @7:30 I'd forgotten about that!
	7:43am Brian D: ↳ dale @7:42 I'm sure he could pull that off.
	7:45am fred: ↳ Brian D @7:43 I noticed that people have a higher voice speaking French than English
	7:46am Krys O.: ↳ Song: "What Are They Doing In Heaven Today" by "Mogwai" Oooh, yes! Les Revenants! Great series and great soundtrack.
	7:47am Brian D: ↳ fred @7:45 Maybe that's the key to my poor pronunciation.
	7:50am fred: ↳ Brian D @7:47 The most striking difference is Japanese female friends I hear talking in formal situations compared to with each other or in another language. In formal Japanese their voices are way higher!
	⚡ 7:54am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ fred @7:50 i used to know a japanese woman who was tall as well as having a deep voice, which gave her a sort of comedic air
	7:55am Krys O.: ↳ fred @7:50 I wonder if speaking in a higher register is a sign of relaxation or confidence. My voice changes based on who I am speaking to. With close friends I speak faster and in a higher register.
	7:56am Cooh John: Terry Anderson taught at my alma mater, Ohio University, after his release. Thanks for the update, Brian.
	7:57am Krys O.: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:54 I never thought of it that way. Interesting. I'm short, but I have a deeper voice like most of my family. I had a sister who was six feet tall and she spoke with a deeper voice. She was a teacher and a librarian. The kids loved her, as most everyone did.
	7:57am Brian D: ↳ Cooh John @7:56 Yes, he did. A career in journalism education after a career in journalism.
	7:58am fred: ↳ Krys O. @7:55 I think it's a cultural thing, there's even a word for it (which of course I can't remember). Being cultural in Japanese society, I suspect it's not about female confidence
	⚡ 7:59am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Krys O. @7:57 i can't explain why it was comedic really. it wasn't because her height was an anomaly
	8:01am Charles in Chicago: ↳ Krys O. @7:55 It's exactly the opposite with me, my voice goes faster and higher when I'm uneasy, and lower and slower when I'm at ease
	8:03am Krys O.: ↳ fred @7:58 I meant confidence pertaining to the proficiency of language.
	8:04am Brian D: I need a break after that mic break.
	⚡ 8:04am tom tom the pipers son: i wanted to let people know that i have an instagram page with cut up poetry based on headlines from a certain newspaper that i've been posting on the chatboard here and there. it lands with some people, others not so much. if you feel like it, take a look.... www.instagram.com...
	8:05am fred: @Brian: As a rule, any 's' at the end of a word is silent. As is 't', but French is the land of exceptions (silent in bruit, not in Christ)
	8:05am Krys O.: ↳ Charles in Chicago @8:01 Maybe it's more a level of excitement and joy. Trying to get it all out in the brief precious moments of conversation with friends.
	8:06am TDK60: ↳ Song: "Roll Call" by "Elbow" Hmmn.. I've never heard of the band Elbow before. I'm so out of it.
	8:07am Brian D: ↳ fred @8:05 Can you also teach me English? Jaysus, I'm a disaster.
	8:07am Charles in Chicago: ↳ fred @8:05 you guys should just stop writing down the silent letters, it would make things easier for the rest of the world
	8:07am Brian D: ↳ TDK60 @8:06 English. Never really caught on here.
	8:08am Brian D: ↳ Brian D @8:07 England, the country. Not English the language, which definitely hasn't caught on here in Studio A today.
	8:09am fred: ↳ Charles in Chicago @8:07 English is the language of traders, meant to be understood. French is the language of diplomats, meant to confuse
	8:12am fred: ↳ fred @8:09 And sort the haves from the have-nots
	8:13am Charles in Chicago: ↳ fred @8:09 "I speak Spanish to God, Italian to women, French to men, and German to my horse." - Charles V
	8:13am Brian D: ↳ fred @8:09 Shows our priorities, there.
	⚡ 8:14am herb.nyc: Hi all, vg interview, Brian (sorry for posting kinda late). We need more WAR correspondents, and better care and concern for them (word CONFLICT is misleading). Diane Foley spoke v well, stayed on point, and it was so sweet how often she said “Brian”, Brian In her book does she tell us more about her son? I’d like to know more about him Does the book tell us policy recommendations her group made? And what the American policy is now? And has that policy been used? If so, examples of success and failure (re Beverly Griner, for instance.) Wow, it must be catchy, for I feel like a journalist. (Don’t send me into a war zone, coach!) End note- I wonder if David pecker and the National enquirer tuned in. (As if!)
	8:18am Brian D: ↳ herb.nyc @8:14 Hell Herb. Yes, the book goes into detail about the work of the foundation (jamesfoleyfoundation.org) and there's a great documentary "Jim: The James Foley Story."
	8:20am fred: ↳ Charles in Chicago @8:13 Which language did he use to say that? Just trying to ascertain the audience
	⚡ 8:20am Marley P. Dogg: Good morning Brian and friends! Happy weekend!
	8:20am Juli P: Love every person & we shall be free.
	8:20am Charles in Chicago: ↳ fred @8:20 English, obviously! :-)
	8:21am HyperDose: ↳ Juli P @8:20 yasssss queen!
	8:22am Juli P: ↳ HyperDose @8:21 ::::}
	8:22am Juli P: My co teacher from South Africa says Rwanda is by far the most dangerous place in Africa
	8:25am Juli P: We must use AI as a tool not be slaves to it.
	8:25am Brian D: Top of the morning Marley, Juli, HyperDose.
	⚡ 8:27am herb.nyc: ↳ Brian D @8:18 Gotcha, read the book. See the documentary. Otherwise, can’t get no satisfaction.
	⚡ 8:28am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Krys O. @7:57 actually krys, the more i think about it, the japanese woman's "comedy" did come from her being tall from a community of people who were 'largely' short. it was sort of an inside joke to herself
	8:28am Handy Haversack: Morning, Brian, all.
	⚡ 8:28am Marley P. Dogg: Morning Handy and Radio!
	8:29am fred: I used readings of Howl by Allen Ginsberg to fix software that was used to disguise the voices of witnesses (both victims and perps) at the Rwanda genocide trials. High self-pressure work. Not many cared (no money in it) but my boss and I did
	8:29am Brian D: ↳ herb.nyc @8:27 Ha! Now Herb...
	8:29am Juli P: Singing along.
	8:29am Brian D: ↳ Handy Haversack @8:28 Greetings Handy!
	8:30am Juli P: To this & the last.
	⚡ 8:30am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ fred @8:29 that's deep fred
	8:30am Handy Haversack: ↳ Marley P. Dogg @8:28 Marley! Had him up and out at 6:30, but we retreated to the couch and under the quilt when we got back and managed to get a lttle more sleep out of a Saturday. Gonna take him on his longest walk yet this afternoon.
	⚡ 8:33am Michael of Cologne: ↳ Song: "I'm Waiting For The Man" by "Lou Reed" Definitely a demo of a demo.
	8:35am Handy Haversack: ↳ Michael of Cologne @8:33 Tape mailed to himself to establish copyright and found in his papers. I really like that collection.
	8:35am pmcWhenever: gah-lorious, haven’t heard them in a looong while -thx
	8:36am fred: ↳ Handy Haversack @8:30 Are you taking him to beer sandwich? Is Voltron warming up to him?
	8:37am Charles in Chicago: ↳ Song: "Is It Really So Strange? (John Peel session 12/2/... Somehow it was inevitable that you would play the Smiths after that Glorious Din.... I could sense it coming
	8:37am Chomps: Greetings from Berlin! Those were 2 fantastic song versions you just played. i love your show and have been listening to it for the past year or two but this is the first time I've signed on here, i think. I saw 2 great bands play last night at a place called Silent Green here that I recommend: Molly Lewis and The Zenmenn. Cheers, Chomps
	8:39am Charles in Chicago: ↳ Chomps @8:37 Guten Tag Deutschland!
	8:39am Re6ecca: Yay!!! The Smiths!!!
	8:40am Charles in Chicago: ↳ Chomps @8:37 Molly Lewis the whistler? She's great.
	⚡ 8:40am Marley P. Dogg: ↳ Handy Haversack @8:30 Haha Radio doesn’t know what he is in for today! How old is he now?
	8:40am Krys O.: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:28 I see!
	8:41am Brian D: ↳ Charles in Chicago @8:37 I'm nothing if not predictable.
	8:41am Brian D: ↳ Chomps @8:37 Welcome to the board, Chomps. And thanks for listening.
	8:41am Brian D: ↳ Re6ecca @8:39 Hi Becky!
	8:43am Cooh John: Hiya, Handy. Taking our doggie camping today. Thanks for the Saturday wake show, Brian.
	8:47am TDK60: Hats off to the "protest kids."
	⚡ 8:48am herb.nyc: Oh, I just walked by wnyc. Had a segment on documentary UNCROSSED, about photojournalist James Hamilton Oh, Brian said “protest kids”. I worked at city college of New York, and they just started a Gaza encampment.
	8:50am Brian D: ↳ TDK60 @8:47 Indeed. Wish I had the same courage of conviction when I was that age. I had other "convictions," unfortunately.
	⚡ 8:52am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Brian D @8:50 it is strange/ disturbing what the institutional trpping point is to draw a hard line on the protesters
	⚡ 8:54am herb.nyc: ↳ Charles in Chicago @8:40 I saw molly, opening for cut worms in Williamsburg. She’s really good. But 30,35’ of whistling was a bit much for me.
	8:54am rich in angleton: wow Brian - the foreign correspondents! a supergroup! I hadn't heard of this. love it. and hello Chris Leo if yr out there!
	8:55am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:52 Both strange and disturbing. I'd add outrageous.
	8:55am Brian D: Hey all, thank you all for joining me today. My thanks also to Diane Foley. Read "American Mother" and check out the work of the James Foley Foundation. Stay safe and have a great week!
	⚡ 8:55am tom tom the pipers son: thanks brian have a good week...
	8:56am Handy Haversack: Thanks, Brian!
	8:57am TDK60: Gracias DJ Brian.
	8:57am Handy Haversack: ↳ Marley P. Dogg @8:40 Supposedly almost 16 weeks, but the vet thinks he might be 3-4 weeks older than that.
	8:57am morphe': Thanks BD and all !!!!
	8:57am Juli P: I am disgusted.
	8:58am Juli P: Ty Brian!
	8:58am Handy Haversack: ↳ fred @8:36 K8 might bring him by -- I'll be volunteering. Voltron tolerates -- within tolerances. I think that's the best we'll get.
	⚡ 8:58am herb.nyc: Thx, Brian. Take care all.
	⚡ 8:58am Michael of Cologne: Herzlichen Dank, Brian, und tschöö bis zum nächsten Mal.

	6:12am Brian D: ↳ Chris Crisco @6:10 Hey Chris.

	6:24am pgalub: Yo Brian and everyone.

	⚡ 6:26am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Brian D @6:23 yes, he also went onto say that trump, dumpster fire that he is not com ing out of nowhere and exploiting undemocratic ideation in tha constittution geared toward protecting the rich
	6:27am Brian D: Mr. G! Will!
	6:29am Barbie: Good morning this show is such a nice way to start the day.
	6:33am Brian D: ↳ Barbie @6:29 Thank you, Barbie. Good morning.
	6:35am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @6:26 He's not wrong.
	6:38am morphe': ↳ Song: "Hint of Apology" by "Room 31" Made me think of Frederic Rzewski’s Attica ... [not a request, just an observation ... informative article below] and now we have Black Panther !!!! https://www.blankforms.org/journal/attica-is-in-front-of-me-mingus-rzewski-shepp
	⚡ 6:39am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Brian D @6:35 i knew that trump was coming from somewhere but it was the first time i've seen him linked to the constitution. berman also called bullshit on supreme court justices' fawning over constitution like its some sacred manuscript
	6:41am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @6:39 They do that when it's convenient.
	6:43am Brian D: ↳ morphe' @6:38 Thanks for the link, Morphe. I'll check that out later. I've actually never listened to that.
	6:43am morphe': ↳ tom tom the pipers son @6:39 The right's faux ".. we are strict 'textualist' practitioners" is complete BS...
	⚡ 6:45am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Brian D @6:41 but its also a fawning that fawns over the 'purity' of 'founding fathers' ...it's a kind of idolatry...
	⚡ 6:45am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ morphe' @6:43 yes...
	6:46am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @6:45 Well, it feeds into that whole "America-can-do-no-wrong-and-never-has" deal.
	⚡ 6:49am Michael of Cologne: Good noonday, Brian & all. Pity that my Saturdays are always so busy, busy.
	⚡ 6:49am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Brian D @6:46 yes, and since the founders all fathers, reinforces phallocentrism
	6:50am Brian D: ↳ Michael of Cologne @6:49 Hallo, Michael. Pull up a radio and relax.
	6:51am Brian D: "Men, men, men / This ship's all full with men..."
	⚡ 6:51am NotARealDoctor in Norfolk VA: Good morning from the dog park. Chilly this morning, but we don't mind as long as the ball is flying.
	⚡ 6:52am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Brian D @6:51 ha!
	6:53am Toothgrinder Tom: The good news about Trump is that he’s a proven loser: he and his preferred candidates lose time and again when they run for office. He also lost on Ukraine aid this week - to mild-mannered speaker of the house Mike Johnson.
	6:54am Brian D: ↳ NotARealDoctor in Norfolk VA @6:51 Greetings, sir. No dog park for us... Our Lira had "minor" surgery Wednesday. Her younger "brother" is fit to be tied.
	⚡ 6:55am Peter from Saranac Lake NY: Good morning Brian and assembled news hounds.
	6:56am Brian D: ↳ Peter from Saranac Lake NY @6:55 Good morning, Peter!
	6:56am Brian D: ↳ Toothgrinder Tom @6:53 Good morning, Tom. I hope the losing "streak" continues, but I'm not optimistic.
	⚡ 6:56am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Toothgrinder Tom @6:53 he didn't cave to maga, but don't let the mild manner fool you...check the guy's track record
	6:56am dale: ↳ Song: "Blame Me" by "The Violet Mine" morning. this is lovely.
	6:57am rich in angleton: good morning Brian! Hello everybody!
	6:59am Strandlund: Good Morning Brian!! Good Morning, Afternoon and Evening to everyone tuning in!!
	7:00am morphe': ↳ Toothgrinder Tom @6:53 Saw Johnson talk after the meeting with orangeman and orangeman at his side ... aside from licking orangeman's arse ... Johnson seems quite articulate and seemed to be speaking without extended notes .... he could be formidable in the future now that he has become a known factor ...
	⚡ 7:00am tom tom the pipers son: was going to say how good that heron oblivion sounded
	7:02am Toothgrinder Tom: @morphe I thought at first you meant Orange men as in those people who parade through Belfast …
	7:04am Krys O.: Good morning!
	7:04am Brian D: Rich! Strand!
	7:04am Brian D: ↳ Krys O. @7:04 Hey Krys!
	7:05am Toothgrinder Tom: @Brian my optimism is quite guarded.
	7:06am morphe': ↳ Toothgrinder Tom @7:02 it is an echo compression of idiocy ... 12July is just around the corner ....knuckleheads are getting their supplies delivered for the bonfires ...
	7:07am fred: Good morning Brian and all
	⚡ 7:07am NotARealDoctor in Norfolk VA: ↳ Brian D @6:54 Poor Lira, a speedy recovery to her, and hopefully next Saturday everyone will be back at it
	7:07am Cooh John: Good morning Brian and current eventers.
	7:08am morphe': https://www.irishnews.com/news/northern-ireland/hundreds-of-mattresses-dumped-at-controversial-bonfire-site-JZTSXVQN5ZBAPFHNIAIZONYSDQ/
	⚡ 7:09am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Brian D @6:54 sorry to hear about the pup... hope she's ok
	7:10am Brian D: ↳ morphe' @7:06 Was thinking the same thing when you wrote orangeman/orangemen.
	7:11am Brian D: ↳ fred @7:07 Bonjour Fred.
	7:11am Otto: Don’t forget the IDF bombing of those Reuters journalists in Lebanon
	7:11am Brian D: ↳ NotARealDoctor in Norfolk VA @7:07 Thank you! Yes, she's doing well.
	7:11am Brian D: ↳ Cooh John @7:07 Greetings Cooh John.
	7:13am Strandlund: ↳ Brian D @6:54 A speedy recovery to Lira!!
	7:14am fred: ↳ morphe' @7:08 Orangeman has been said to release toxic fumes in the atmosphere during his trial too
	7:16am morphe': ↳ Song: "Interview: Diane Foley" She is so articulate and sanely spot on ...
	7:17am Brian D: ↳ Otto @7:11 And the appalling number of journalists and photojournalists killed in Gaza. And the US killed Reuters journalists in Iraq in 2005.
	7:18am Brian D: ↳ morphe' @7:16 She's as positive and lovely as she sounds. An incredible person.
	7:19am fred: ↳ Otto @7:11 And many others, Shireen Abu Akleh was just the most blatant, yet nothing came out of that murder
	7:25am TDK60: Good morning.
	7:27am Just Jim: Inspiring interview Brian. Beautiful. What a strong person.
	7:27am Otto: Excellent interview, thank you 🙏
	⚡ 7:27am Peter from Saranac Lake NY: ↳ Song: "Interview: Diane Foley" Great interview. Thank you Brian.
	7:27am Brian D: ↳ TDK60 @7:25 Greetings TDK!
	7:28am Brian D: ↳ Just Jim @7:27 Hey Jim! Yes, so strong and positive.
	7:28am fred: ↳ Song: "The Empty Chair" by "Sting" I hope Clint Eastwood won't be talking to it
	7:30am Brian D: ↳ fred @7:28 It's the only conversation partner he has that doesn't intimidate him intellectually.
	7:33am Cooh John: Very nice interview, Brian. No wonder I love your show. We share a love of music, work in journalism, and 4 years of Jesuit education.
	7:35am Brian D: ↳ Cooh John @7:33 Were a select few, Cooh.
	7:36am Otto: As a former soldier I find the issue of reporting in war zones confounding. We need the reporters there, witnessing what is happening, but without the means to defend themselves they’re at the mercy of those with guns
	7:36am fred: ↳ Cooh John @7:33 @Brian: With the current(!) shipping rates I can't in good conscience join this giveaway
	⚡ 7:37am NotARealDoctor in Norfolk VA: Great interview, Brian and great timing because it's time for me to check out and we're gonna go have breakfast with Mom and Dad and let our dogs play together
	7:38am Brian D: ↳ fred @7:36 I might hand deliver it to France...
	7:40am fred: ↳ Otto @7:36 I met a guy from Colombia though the boards, introduced him to another Colombian friend, turned out they attended the same Jesuit school. Apparently the only part of the higher education system that was available to non rich people at the time
	7:41am Brian D: We have a winner of the book. Thank you all.
	7:42am dale: ↳ Song: "Le Christ est dans le bruit" by "Saints Martyrs" thought this was nick cave speaking french.
	⚡ 7:43am Peter from Saranac Lake NY: ↳ Brian D @7:30 I'd forgotten about that!
	7:43am Brian D: ↳ dale @7:42 I'm sure he could pull that off.
	7:45am fred: ↳ Brian D @7:43 I noticed that people have a higher voice speaking French than English
	7:46am Krys O.: ↳ Song: "What Are They Doing In Heaven Today" by "Mogwai" Oooh, yes! Les Revenants! Great series and great soundtrack.
	7:47am Brian D: ↳ fred @7:45 Maybe that's the key to my poor pronunciation.
	7:50am fred: ↳ Brian D @7:47 The most striking difference is Japanese female friends I hear talking in formal situations compared to with each other or in another language. In formal Japanese their voices are way higher!
	⚡ 7:54am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ fred @7:50 i used to know a japanese woman who was tall as well as having a deep voice, which gave her a sort of comedic air
	7:55am Krys O.: ↳ fred @7:50 I wonder if speaking in a higher register is a sign of relaxation or confidence. My voice changes based on who I am speaking to. With close friends I speak faster and in a higher register.
	7:56am Cooh John: Terry Anderson taught at my alma mater, Ohio University, after his release. Thanks for the update, Brian.
	7:57am Krys O.: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:54 I never thought of it that way. Interesting. I'm short, but I have a deeper voice like most of my family. I had a sister who was six feet tall and she spoke with a deeper voice. She was a teacher and a librarian. The kids loved her, as most everyone did.
	7:57am Brian D: ↳ Cooh John @7:56 Yes, he did. A career in journalism education after a career in journalism.
	7:58am fred: ↳ Krys O. @7:55 I think it's a cultural thing, there's even a word for it (which of course I can't remember). Being cultural in Japanese society, I suspect it's not about female confidence
	⚡ 7:59am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Krys O. @7:57 i can't explain why it was comedic really. it wasn't because her height was an anomaly
	8:01am Charles in Chicago: ↳ Krys O. @7:55 It's exactly the opposite with me, my voice goes faster and higher when I'm uneasy, and lower and slower when I'm at ease
	8:03am Krys O.: ↳ fred @7:58 I meant confidence pertaining to the proficiency of language.
	8:04am Brian D: I need a break after that mic break.
	⚡ 8:04am tom tom the pipers son: i wanted to let people know that i have an instagram page with cut up poetry based on headlines from a certain newspaper that i've been posting on the chatboard here and there. it lands with some people, others not so much. if you feel like it, take a look.... www.instagram.com...
	8:05am fred: @Brian: As a rule, any 's' at the end of a word is silent. As is 't', but French is the land of exceptions (silent in bruit, not in Christ)
	8:05am Krys O.: ↳ Charles in Chicago @8:01 Maybe it's more a level of excitement and joy. Trying to get it all out in the brief precious moments of conversation with friends.
	8:06am TDK60: ↳ Song: "Roll Call" by "Elbow" Hmmn.. I've never heard of the band Elbow before. I'm so out of it.
	8:07am Brian D: ↳ fred @8:05 Can you also teach me English? Jaysus, I'm a disaster.
	8:07am Charles in Chicago: ↳ fred @8:05 you guys should just stop writing down the silent letters, it would make things easier for the rest of the world
	8:07am Brian D: ↳ TDK60 @8:06 English. Never really caught on here.
	8:08am Brian D: ↳ Brian D @8:07 England, the country. Not English the language, which definitely hasn't caught on here in Studio A today.
	8:09am fred: ↳ Charles in Chicago @8:07 English is the language of traders, meant to be understood. French is the language of diplomats, meant to confuse
	8:12am fred: ↳ fred @8:09 And sort the haves from the have-nots
	8:13am Charles in Chicago: ↳ fred @8:09 "I speak Spanish to God, Italian to women, French to men, and German to my horse." - Charles V
	8:13am Brian D: ↳ fred @8:09 Shows our priorities, there.
	⚡ 8:14am herb.nyc: Hi all, vg interview, Brian (sorry for posting kinda late). We need more WAR correspondents, and better care and concern for them (word CONFLICT is misleading). Diane Foley spoke v well, stayed on point, and it was so sweet how often she said “Brian”, Brian In her book does she tell us more about her son? I’d like to know more about him Does the book tell us policy recommendations her group made? And what the American policy is now? And has that policy been used? If so, examples of success and failure (re Beverly Griner, for instance.) Wow, it must be catchy, for I feel like a journalist. (Don’t send me into a war zone, coach!) End note- I wonder if David pecker and the National enquirer tuned in. (As if!)
	8:18am Brian D: ↳ herb.nyc @8:14 Hell Herb. Yes, the book goes into detail about the work of the foundation (jamesfoleyfoundation.org) and there's a great documentary "Jim: The James Foley Story."
	8:20am fred: ↳ Charles in Chicago @8:13 Which language did he use to say that? Just trying to ascertain the audience
	⚡ 8:20am Marley P. Dogg: Good morning Brian and friends! Happy weekend!
	8:20am Juli P: Love every person & we shall be free.
	8:20am Charles in Chicago: ↳ fred @8:20 English, obviously! :-)
	8:21am HyperDose: ↳ Juli P @8:20 yasssss queen!
	8:22am Juli P: ↳ HyperDose @8:21 ::::}
	8:22am Juli P: My co teacher from South Africa says Rwanda is by far the most dangerous place in Africa
	8:25am Juli P: We must use AI as a tool not be slaves to it.
	8:25am Brian D: Top of the morning Marley, Juli, HyperDose.
	⚡ 8:27am herb.nyc: ↳ Brian D @8:18 Gotcha, read the book. See the documentary. Otherwise, can’t get no satisfaction.
	⚡ 8:28am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Krys O. @7:57 actually krys, the more i think about it, the japanese woman's "comedy" did come from her being tall from a community of people who were 'largely' short. it was sort of an inside joke to herself
	8:28am Handy Haversack: Morning, Brian, all.
	⚡ 8:28am Marley P. Dogg: Morning Handy and Radio!
	8:29am fred: I used readings of Howl by Allen Ginsberg to fix software that was used to disguise the voices of witnesses (both victims and perps) at the Rwanda genocide trials. High self-pressure work. Not many cared (no money in it) but my boss and I did
	8:29am Brian D: ↳ herb.nyc @8:27 Ha! Now Herb...
	8:29am Juli P: Singing along.
	8:29am Brian D: ↳ Handy Haversack @8:28 Greetings Handy!
	8:30am Juli P: To this & the last.
	⚡ 8:30am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ fred @8:29 that's deep fred
	8:30am Handy Haversack: ↳ Marley P. Dogg @8:28 Marley! Had him up and out at 6:30, but we retreated to the couch and under the quilt when we got back and managed to get a lttle more sleep out of a Saturday. Gonna take him on his longest walk yet this afternoon.
	⚡ 8:33am Michael of Cologne: ↳ Song: "I'm Waiting For The Man" by "Lou Reed" Definitely a demo of a demo.
	8:35am Handy Haversack: ↳ Michael of Cologne @8:33 Tape mailed to himself to establish copyright and found in his papers. I really like that collection.
	8:35am pmcWhenever: gah-lorious, haven’t heard them in a looong while -thx
	8:36am fred: ↳ Handy Haversack @8:30 Are you taking him to beer sandwich? Is Voltron warming up to him?
	8:37am Charles in Chicago: ↳ Song: "Is It Really So Strange? (John Peel session 12/2/... Somehow it was inevitable that you would play the Smiths after that Glorious Din.... I could sense it coming
	8:37am Chomps: Greetings from Berlin! Those were 2 fantastic song versions you just played. i love your show and have been listening to it for the past year or two but this is the first time I've signed on here, i think. I saw 2 great bands play last night at a place called Silent Green here that I recommend: Molly Lewis and The Zenmenn. Cheers, Chomps
	8:39am Charles in Chicago: ↳ Chomps @8:37 Guten Tag Deutschland!
	8:39am Re6ecca: Yay!!! The Smiths!!!
	8:40am Charles in Chicago: ↳ Chomps @8:37 Molly Lewis the whistler? She's great.
	⚡ 8:40am Marley P. Dogg: ↳ Handy Haversack @8:30 Haha Radio doesn’t know what he is in for today! How old is he now?
	8:40am Krys O.: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:28 I see!
	8:41am Brian D: ↳ Charles in Chicago @8:37 I'm nothing if not predictable.
	8:41am Brian D: ↳ Chomps @8:37 Welcome to the board, Chomps. And thanks for listening.
	8:41am Brian D: ↳ Re6ecca @8:39 Hi Becky!
	8:43am Cooh John: Hiya, Handy. Taking our doggie camping today. Thanks for the Saturday wake show, Brian.
	8:47am TDK60: Hats off to the "protest kids."
	⚡ 8:48am herb.nyc: Oh, I just walked by wnyc. Had a segment on documentary UNCROSSED, about photojournalist James Hamilton Oh, Brian said “protest kids”. I worked at city college of New York, and they just started a Gaza encampment.
	8:50am Brian D: ↳ TDK60 @8:47 Indeed. Wish I had the same courage of conviction when I was that age. I had other "convictions," unfortunately.
	⚡ 8:52am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Brian D @8:50 it is strange/ disturbing what the institutional trpping point is to draw a hard line on the protesters
	⚡ 8:54am herb.nyc: ↳ Charles in Chicago @8:40 I saw molly, opening for cut worms in Williamsburg. She’s really good. But 30,35’ of whistling was a bit much for me.
	8:54am rich in angleton: wow Brian - the foreign correspondents! a supergroup! I hadn't heard of this. love it. and hello Chris Leo if yr out there!
	8:55am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:52 Both strange and disturbing. I'd add outrageous.

	⚡ 8:55am tom tom the pipers son: thanks brian have a good week...
	8:56am Handy Haversack: Thanks, Brian!
	8:57am TDK60: Gracias DJ Brian.
	8:57am Handy Haversack: ↳ Marley P. Dogg @8:40 Supposedly almost 16 weeks, but the vet thinks he might be 3-4 weeks older than that.
	8:57am morphe': Thanks BD and all !!!!
	8:57am Juli P: I am disgusted.
	8:58am Juli P: Ty Brian!
	8:58am Handy Haversack: ↳ fred @8:36 K8 might bring him by -- I'll be volunteering. Voltron tolerates -- within tolerances. I think that's the best we'll get.
	⚡ 8:58am herb.nyc: Thx, Brian. Take care all.
