For nearly two years, we developed and produced 47 regular episodes and three special episodes of "First Person, Plural," examining a variety of topics related to how people interacted with each other.  We completed production in October 2003 and stopped regular broadcasting on February 5, 2004.  

Links to descriptions and transcripts for each of the shows is available below.  We hope you will take the time to surf these pages and learn more about how people can get along with each other.

Thanks to the many guests who appeared on the show.  Thanks also to the many people who offered topic ideas, information, training and moral support during our time on this show.

Come back and visit again.  We hope to find a home for audio files that will allow you not only to read about our topics, but to listen to them as well.

  ABOUT "FIRST PERSON, PLURAL"

Making full use of community radio, "First Person, Plural" was a show about how people get along with each other.  Any topic that had to do with two people or more was fair game.  Most of us take for granted the social and cultural resources we use to interact with other people.  

"First Person, Plural" sought to examine the mundane and not-so-mundane ways in which we work and play together.  Combining Pattie's sociological and journalistic background with Carl's business administration and musical (as he composes and performs the incidental music for the show) background, this show was a blend of news, features and cultural coverage on a wide variety of topics.
