"There's value and virtue in having people in different parts of the country. We are interested to see how this actually changes our show."That's what All Things Considered EP Chris Turpin told the LA Times' James Rainey recently. He was commenting about Madeleine Brand, who previously hosted the late Day to Day from Los Angeles, being part of the All Things Considered team while Michelle Norris is on leave.
Brand told the Times:
They [NPR execs] are really embracing the idea of having the show sound like it's coming from the West and doing something different. I am excited about that.

It's about time! As a Westerner, ATC has always sounded very far away -- unless I'm visiting the Mid-Atlantic -- then the hosts feel like they're right down the street. It's no one's fault, we just need to embrace more of our regional differences, and that's a two-way street. Great to have you back Madeleine!
