Hey dude! You don't get the love you deserve for the questions you ask brooks and shields. It's very informal and it's really fun to listen too (via podcast) Keep it up and I'm sad they don't have it on podcast as often, or maybe i've just missed your last couple. At any rate... right on!

That said, why does Shields always get like 30 - 60 sec. more than brooks? (not when you interview them, more on the political wrap)

I love it as it is now. I don't really care if it's live. It's something I look forward to all week a few hours aren't going to make a difference. If anything I think you should ask more hard ball questions rather than laid back questions. After all you are talking to brooks and shields. Don't let brooks get away with dumbed down answers to your education questions, he is an authority. Ask him about child development in relation to education. Ask shields hard questions about the future. Shit the guy should know, he has the experience to answer anything. Ask him point blank if he thinks Palin will run. Shields is old enough to answer anything. give him time to answer, but ask. No one else does, he's wasted if people don't ask.

Makes sense. Btw, wow, you love your job! Keep it up! You may not think that people watch what you do, I do. I watched your first week drawing shields and brooks aside for questions. I like the setting, I like the candor, keep it up.
