Julie Schmitt's Song of the Soul |
I just finished listening toI just finished listening to the julie Schmitt show twice over the last couple of days. I think this is a wonderful show and you are the right person to be doing this. Hearing Julie 's song picks and info about her life showed me there are still ways to connect i nthis crazy disconnected world. It is so hard for me to find like-minded people. Hearing Julie speak about her life made me think-i have to meet this person. I loved her chanting music picks and it was a delight to my soull and heart to listen. Thanks again! | Colleen (not verified) | |

Patti See/Kidney Donations |
With all the clutter that canWith all the clutter that can occur on commercial radio, I love to listen to Mark's program to remind me about the positive vibes that are occuring in our community. The program with Patti See was particularly inspirational. Each and every one of us has an opportunity to make a difference in this world if we choose to do so. Thank you Mark! | Barbara E.

Dan Nerhaugen - Civic Engagement and Literacy |
Listened to Dan Nerhaugen'sListened to Dan Nerhaugen's interview via the internet. My first time listening to northern spirit and i was impressed. Yes, an informed and engaged citizenry seems likely to bring the best chances for securing life, liberty, and happiness in a democracy. I was glad to hear Dan and see the work he is doing. I visited his website as well. I appreciate this program for providing concrete examples of action: things I, my chldren, and others can use for inspiriation to move from thinking and complaining to doing. I was impressed that the host pressed Mr. N about his condemnation of television. Facile condemnations of TV are too easy. And a bias towards the benefits of reading is likewise too easy. Mr. N was led to clarify his position about TV by avoiding the question of content and describing instead the way TV steals time from people that could be devoted to civic engagement. Over my life I've developed a fair amount of skepticism about the general benefits of literacy. Despite being an avid reader of literary fiction and non-fiction, the last time i got politically involved it was due to an invitation from a high school educated neighbor with little time for reading but plenty of passion for a cause. I seem to find that skepticism and and critical thought are not necessarily linked to literacy. Nor, I imagine, is caring enough to get up and do something. Though for someone with the drive to get politically engaged, literacy may be a powerful tool. At any rate, enjoyed the show, and look forward to hearing more of them. | steve berman (not verified) | |

Dan Nerhaugen - Civic Engagement and Literacy |
I heard the recent progamI heard the recent progam with Dan Nerhaugen, Civic Engagement & Literacy, and I was thrilled to hear the perspective of the connect between literacy and democracy. I was shocked, however, at the statistics he cited about the appalling lack of literacy in the US and the degree of apathy. For many years I have been a proponent of the "blow up your TV" idea because of the passivity I had witnessed in myself and others while watching TV. A life-long reader, I have encouraged and modeled reading, curiosity and civic involvement for my children. We have the power to change ourselves, which is a profound spiritual practice. Thank you for this program. | Bruce O'Brien (not verified) | |
Bonnie Tinker - Love Makes A Family |
Keep up the great programing!Mark, I'm enjoying the programs I've listened to immensely. Particularly for the program done with Bonnie Tinker, I felt empowered by her description of Quaker values in action. I learn from stories of how people live their lives about as well as from any source. I plan to share these programs with others and look forward to hearing more myself. Keep up the great programing! | Esther Hinshaw (not verified) | |

The gift of many voicesNorthern Spirit Radio brings the gift of many voices, many perspectives, but all speaking of our common humanity. I've enjoyed listening to programs both over my radio as well as through the web site through the archived interviews. Most recently, I enjoyed the interview with Anna Sandidge in which I learned of her work with the remarkable Friends Peace Teams. | Tricia Duyhuizen (not verified) | |

A great & admirable jobDear Mark, I have just listened to your interview with Anna Sandidge. It is indeed a great and admirbale job that she is doing and it is also great that you are managing to arrange this sort spiritual interviews which also are of global concern while being in Eau Claire. (I always felt like there was something special about Eau Claire and people there.) These broadcasts surely contribute indirectly to more strives for peace in hearts of people who listen to them. So, thank you for doing this and good luck to you! Madina. | Madina -from A… (not verified) |
