I'm so thrilled to have an outlet for my hero-worship for Marc! I came to Baltimore in '84 for school, and returned in 93, until 2000, and then came back in 2005, probably for good. I found Marc on the radio in probably '94 and have listened constantly since then. I do listen to the podcasts, but I miss the community. I miss Gerry from Pikesville, I miss the men of Rose & Ashland...but Marc & Jessica are still at the top of their game...winning the Peabody and all. It's awfully nice to see something I find so essential recognized by the rest of the world for a change...usually, if *I* like it, no one else does.
I hope CEM tackles higher education in MD sometime soon. We need to talk about how hard it is for people to complete their educations at good schools and how some of the diploma mills are taking students for a ride.
