Earlier this afternoon, I joined an in-studio conversation about the (extensive) news of the week at Maine Public radio for their live call-in show “Maine Calling.”
The discussion — including host Keith Shortall, University of Maine political scientist Jim Melcher, and the University of New England’s dean of arts and sciences Jean Hey — is now available online here. It also rebroadcasts tomorrow morning, Aug. 23, on the stations of Maine Public broadcasting.
I was last in the Maine Public studios to speak with Tom Ashbrook, who hosted his “On Point” program from Portland earlier this month.
