Hi,
My name is Jon and I have many thoughts on our shrinking animal poulation. I see many animals displaced by construction and development and it is a crying shame. Thank goodness that the economy has slowed things down for now.
I live in a dev...
The Animal House is a weekly discussion that explores the latest in animal science, pet behavior, and wildlife conservation.
I had an epiphany of sorts last night related to my quandry over why there is so little attention given to how doctors practice medicine and so much attention given to funding health care.
It seems no one has been able to quantify patient outcome...
Just saw your response. You've given me quite a bit of homework to do for which I am most grateful.
I had my second visit with the infectious diseases doctor who is prescribing oral penicillin for my actinomycosis this afternoon. At my last visit...
Thank you Slumburbia,
Your work here is extremely appreciated, I am sure!!
It is about time that these issues are addressed in the open and investigated, as they should be. Health, is number one in my book and should be the focal point of all go...
SlumburbiaResident,
If I ever need a spokesperson, I know where to find one. Your commentary brought relief in knowing someone else realizes what the h*** is going on. So many of us wear blinders and don't even realize it. We're caught up in ever...
Jon and SlumburbiaResident, Thank you both for the kind words and support. I am absolutely astonished at the number of people I encounter that are having or have had traumatic experiences at the hands of their doctors, yet this continues to go on ...
The thing about the Medial "Indusrty" in this country, is that it is an industry. I was shocked when I visited my first doctor after emigrating to this country; he actually pulled out a book and consulted it for my diagnosis. After wrongly diagnos...

Ria Misra, WAMU 88.5 said… - Welcome to The Conversation, the online meeting place for WAMU 88.5 listeners, producers, hosts, and reporters. This is the where the conversation continues after the show -- the place for you to give us ideas, comments, and start conversations of your own with other public radio fans. (You probably already know this, but in case you're visiting from out of town, WAMU 88.5 is the leading public radio station for NPR news and information in the greater Washington D.C. area.)
Before you post your first comment or start your own discussion, please take a moment to familiarize yourself with our Community Guidelines.
There is a "Tips for New Members" discussion.
We have one forum, called "Participate in the Process," for our producers and reporters to ask questions and solicit idea from our listeners. You can reply to any topic here, but you won't be able to start topics of your own.
The other forum to visit is "Start Your Own Conversation," where members share ideas and ask questions of us and of each other. You can start topics here. We prefer they be show or station related, but you'll see we actually do host a variety of discussion topics.
Thanks for joining the Conversation!

But if it’s slam poetry, that’s a different beast entirely.

I am a childless adult with little creative output so little of me will survive. That’s okay with me as long as there is any art and memory left in the world.

- Hi there, is this you?

If so, I feel for you if you emigrated from England, whose housing market, as you know, was by no means left unscathed by the global credit crunch.
If you are in fact a writer/freelancer, feel free to deplore my customarily awkward sentence structure. I studied up in a tech field (where I am no longer employed, incidentally).
As you may know, many of us Americans are ardent Anglophiles, including a hell of a lot of Marylanders. Witness the inexplicable re-runs of "As Time Goes By" and "Keeping Up Appearances" on WETA-26 here in the D.C.-metro area. I'm more of a "Fools and Horses" fan these days myself, but I sense that all the slangy Southender racial slurs and references to early Thatcher-era British pop culture wouldn't go over too well with the Bethesda / Arlington crowd.
If you worked for MPT, have you applied to WETA? (Let me emphasize the aforementioned point about American PBS viewers being Brit-loving fiends. I don't know how far this sentiment extends within public television organizations, though.)
