Jeannie As My Co-Pilot
By Kate McNally on Thursday, January 14, 2010.During our fall fund drive, NHPR’s Folk Show offered a special opportunity to donors. We offered a fun incentive for donors giving $500 dollars or more: an opportunity to be a guest d.j. on The Folk Show. Jeannie Dismukes took us up on our offer and joined us Sunday night as our guest. It was a telling experience for me, because it gave me a bit of a glimpse of who is listening to The Folk Show. I determined that there is no “typical” Folk Show listener. It is a mistake, I think, for anyone, like a consultant, to think they can stereotype our Sunday night listening audience.
