Why do your radio people whisper like grade school girls?
How does this channel survive considering the ridiculous topics & and constant talk of racism and sexuality.
What a farce !
Lidia Bastianich

Feedback:
For all her cooking savvy, Ms. Bastianich and her crew need to get up to date on the downside of almond culture... A full gallon of water is required to create each and every almond. Wonderful to have folks immigrating but then engaging in expansive almond cultivation... Not so great... And when included in a PBS presentation downright dumb. Was anyone at PBS watching the store?

Why are you risking your reputation( and thinking audience) by broadcasting programs like Dr. Steve Gundry. Fact checking and verifying "science" ads like his would lead anyone with a computer to find out that he is simply selling and his claims are without scientific merit. This makes me wonder about CPB ethics. I certainly won't consider donating anytime soon due to lack of trust.

Leading the lambs to slaughter
Maine
Feedback:
I was appalled last week by your disregard of the UN appeal for dramatic action on the climate emergency within the next five years. The BBC and DW news broadcasts gave one third of their news time to this crisis. Are you afraid your corporate donors will withdraw their funding? Are you afraid you’ll scare your audience? They SHOULD be afraid and they need to act NOW. And why are stock market numbers more important than the amount of carbon our atmosphere?
Frontline on Clarence and Ginny Thomas
Michigan
Feedback:
This show is such blatant propaganda it makes me sick to see it painted as pure fact. Gunny Thomas is referred to as always having been on the "far right". Just because someone stands for conservative principles doesn't equate them to skinheads. This continuous narrative to make any and all conservatives out to be racist caricatures vastly over simplifies the problems of this country and only helps to contribute further to its spiral downwards. You people at PBS are helping to flush the foundations of western culture down the toilet of emotional knee jerk responses.

Could Nick Shiffrin do a story on whether the citizens held in foreign jails in Russia or Iran might actually be US spies? The assumption always seems to be these are kidnappings without cause and the focus is on the families wanting their loved ones home. What is the rest of the story?
Odd Squad Language
New York
Feedback:
My family are avid PBS viewers of you children's programming, for reference my children are 6 year old twins. We have been watching PBS since they were toddlers with Sesame Street and Daniel Tiger. My son loves Odd Squad. Odd squad based on your ratings is for children 5-8. I have begun to question whether or not some of the content is appropriate for any child in that age range. Some of the language and situations being portrayed are a little older than this age group. What prompted me to write this complaint is a phrase my son has come across from one of the agents. This is just one example but it was my proverbial straw, Agent O'Donahue says "Gag me with a spoon". To most adults this is an innocuous phrase but to an impressionable 6 year old who all but worships the characters of Odd Squad it has lead to some issues at home and school. I am highly disappointed in the writers of this children's show and are out of touch with what appropriate language is for a 5-8 yr old. The development of a 5 yr old and an 8 yr old are entirely different and what is appropriate for one is not for the other. We will no longer be watching Odd Squad in our home and I will scrutinize other PBS kids shows from this point on.

KALW's Mind Over Matter asked listeners to go to KALW website and complete the survey. Well where is it?
When and Why did you change the day/time of Mind Over Matter? It is the only show I know of that offers entertainment while exercising your mind.

Missouri House Republicans want to defund libraries. Here’s why. PBS NewsHour
Missouri
Feedback:
See the article in the 28 January Springfield News-Leader: Missouri lawmakers to get 5% raises over next 2 years, first since 2007. Looks like Missouri Representatives are taking library defunding personally; we should too. Kudos to Gabrielle Hays for her insightful article.

Why would I give to this corporation that lies with your unfair bias for democrats, Biden, and the Woke agenda that is tearing our country apart. It makes me sick every time i hear begging for money when we, the taxpayers, are funding this corporation.

CPB should be making a bid for TikTok. This is the ideal solution for the TikTok dilemma. An acquisition that benefits society, government and CPB.
KQED Article on Oakland, CA Wood St Camp
California
Feedback:
The federally funded KQED posted an April 5 article on the Oakland, CA Wood St homeless camp that contains a key error (the camp is not self-sustaining but relies on theft and services from taxpayers to operate) and shows bias by glorifying the campers who brought violence, theft, drug use and pollution to the neighborhood without getting the neighbors' side of the story. I request that the article either be edited to at least include input from the Prescott Neighborhood Association, be removed, or that federal funding be removed from KQED.
Book tours by NPR employees

Mary Lousie Kelley (sp?) seems to be on a book tour of many CPB related forums. Tonight it is the NewsHour. Her book was also mentioned on many NPR-related Programs (Fresh Air for one, I think). WOW - Is her book the best and the brightest. Afre there not other books and authors to review time and time again. Please - five the employee one venue. Steve Mangion

Feedback:
Love hearing Howie's movie reviews. Today I hear him mention a movie, by name which meant nothing, then reviewed the movie capturing my interest in whatever it was!
His reviews make the classic mistake of identifying the product then selling it then not telling you the name of the product so that, after your interest has been generated you can identify it and then purchase it.
This mistake is made with several products sold on NPR. Come on!

With all due respect, Ayesha Rascoe might be a good reporter, but she does not have a radio voice that’s pleasant to listen to on a Sunday morning. We find ourselves looking forward to the times when a substitute fills in with a more professional demeanor and voice.
