I love the Diane Rehm show and listened to the one you mentioned. I also liked the way she handled a caller who wanted to digress from the topic. She was professional but firm. I like listening to shows like this on NPR because they are in depth, the guests are always polite to each other even when in disagreement, and a wide breadth of topics are discussed. To do something like that on this forum would be . . . epic.

That's the idea.
Today was a great show. I learned quite a bit a bit about how the mind works and is affected by technology.
I had no idea that reading a book is not the same as reading the same information on a screen.

Susan is a neuroscientist who studied how frequent exposure to social media sites, search engines, video games and other digital technology affects our brains.The discussion touched upon some of the topics in an active thread and some that were discussed in other threads.

This gave me an idea.

Anyone can listen to her show[s]. Here is the link The Diane Rehm Show - One of her guests is always you.

Anyone can pick a show to be discussed on TOTV. If there is a rule about who
can participate it would be anyone who listened to the show could participate.

Diane from time to time gives an opinion but the show is not about her. She asks good questions. I will warn you that her speech pattern seems a little off, too slow. This is a condition she has. Quite frankly I like the fact that she speaks slowly and clearly. And she's our age.

What do you think? Could a topical discussion where we all listened to the same show before commenting be interesting?

I find it more fun to post and give unsolicited advise on things I really know nothing about.
