I wanted to compliment you on frequently being the best thing in the Talkers daily newsletter. Your current post on getting in front of station gaffes is excellent; as you effectively note, the cover-up is usually worse than the crime!
Your recent column on words and phrases that don’t work on the air is priceless.

Keep up the good work,
