	Pamela 9/3/2010	I've listened to this broadcast a number of times gaining insight about the artist and the music he creates. The program is peaceful and offers a perspective that enlightens my soul and heightens my sensitivity to other avenues of spirituality.
	Sarah Daykin 8/30/2010	Song Of The Soul -Susan Stark's Song of the Soul I forgot to mention... the program I was referring to and enjoyed so much was Song of the Soul, interview with Susan Stark, which aired in August, 2009 (which I found today!). Thanks for such a great website and radio station, please come to AZ soon, we need more progessive thinkers here like you all seem to be! God help us, perhaps some day this state will "see the light"... we do have 2 Quaker Meetings in the Phoenix area and several peace activist groups, believe it or not!
	Sarah Daykin 8/30/2010	Song Of The Soul -Susan Stark's Song of the Soul Yes, I also just listened to your interview with Susan Stark today...I just found your podcasts and website today... WOW, what a great radio station and service you are providing! I wish I could hear your programs live, but I live in AZ (ok, no comments please about SB1070... our racist immigration law, I agree it's a horrible thing and yes, Sheriff Joe needs to be run out of town!). Anyway, it was so great to hear Susan's beautiful voice again and learn more about her story as a singer-songwriter. I haven't seen her for over 25 years when she and I lived at Olney Friends School back in 1983-4 where I taught music, so your podcast has now enabled me to get back in touch with Susan after all these years! Thanks so much, Namaste to all!
	Brian 8/23/2010	Song Of The Soul -Susan Stark's Song of the Soul Susan has an amazing voice, there is a lot of depth in her music.This programme is a real service. Thank you, Brian
	judith herstand 8/20/2010	Song Of The Soul -Ari Herstand's Song of the Soul I feel so very grateful to Mark for choosing Ari in his Song of the Soul radio podcast! The questions were so very thought provoking. The comments of his long time friendship to Ari's parents, especially his father. Ari's voice sounded fabulous over the computer. Best quality I have heard over the airwaves! I liked it so much that I chose to "share" the link on my facebook page with a note that I hoped they tuned in also! I loved the entry song- "Song of the Soul" You are doing wonderful work, and I feel so very grateful that you are in my world. Shabbat Shalom- Today is Friday- Shabbat begins at sundown tonight!
	David 8/19/2010	Song Of The Soul -Steve Deasy's Song of the Soul I am so glad to see to hear music of this Quality on the radio. Good job Mark, in finding Steve D easy. Wonderful music Steve Deasy
	Helene Darisse 8/18/2010	Song Of The Soul -Tom Allen's Song of the Soul This was a great interview. I found Mr. Allen's songs and musical compositions delightful and uplifting. I especially enjoyed what he had to say about his involvement with Transcendental Meditation and how he was helping to establish World Peace through practice of the program. I hope to hear more of his songs in the future. Helene Darisse
	W. Gerald Mustard 8/17/2010	Spirit In Action -Awakening Universe, Emerging Personhood - Mary Conrow Coelho I have read Mary's book and I feel blest by hearing her discussing of it.
	Kelly & Larry 8/16/2010	Song Of The Soul -Steve Deasy's Song of the Soul Thanks for a very enjoyable show. Steve Deasy is a thoughtful and talented song writer.
	Mary Shapiro 8/15/2010	Song Of The Soul -Tom Goss' Song of the Soul Tom Goss' honesty, clarity, and humility in a professional musician is refreshing... and his songs speak to my heart head and soul (especially "Lover"). Thanks for another great interview, Mark!
	Karyn Goff 8/14/2010	Song Of The Soul -Steve Deasy's Song of the Soul Hi Mark, I just listened to your wonderful interview with Steve Deasy. He is an incredibly talented individual. I am glad that you interviewed him, so that more people can hear his music...and learn the stories behind it. Peace and blessings to you and yours, Karyn Goff
	Bob 8/14/2010	What fun! John provided the sound track for raising four kids in a music obsessed household. I loved the music choices. Mercifully not
	Bob 8/14/2010	Spirit In Action -James Mulholland - Praying Like Jesus Great interview Mark! Obviously a practiced interview participant but I think you gave him some questions that were thought provoking.
	Joe Detrick 8/10/2010	Song Of The Soul -Andy Murray's Song of the Soul A great program. I stumbled on to it by "googling" Andy Murray to see if he had any songs recorded for the internet and found this web-site. I have known Andy and Terry for over over 30 years. I also play the guitar and learned to play in grade school, listened to a lot of Chet Atkins records, and also classical guitarist, Segovia. I'll need to tie into NSR again!
	Iris Graville 8/10/2010	Spirit In Action -Training for Change - George Lakey Inspiring, informative interview with George Lakey. I recommend this program for activists and trainers yearning for hope and effective tools for change. What a history George has to share; his work is a model of how we can (and must) continue to evolve in our thinking and actions.
	Anonymous 8/10/2010	Song Of The Soul -Tom Allen's Song of the Soul I loved listening to Tom. He is not the best singer, but he can sure play the guitar. He is a fantastic player. I'm in awe of his playing. He is also a wonderful person.
	Jed Falgren 8/9/2010	Song Of The Soul -Rod Kinny's Song of the Soul Started listening to the show to hear what a former high school classmate was up to and was blown away! Rod was amazing and I had purchased and downloaded his New CD "Higher Self" before the the show was over. I would highly recommend the show for the background it provides and enthusiastically endorse the CD. Beautiful work Rod!!
	SandyStimson 8/7/2010	Song Of The Soul -Tom Allen's Song of the Soul Enjoyed the music and interview. Thanks. Tom shines.
	Armstrong O'Brian Ongera, Jnr. 8/7/2010	Spirit In Action -Alums Serving the World - Brydie Hill & Mark Lassman-Eul I salute Spirit in Action Radio program for highlighting real-live stories that would not have been in the airwaves in the mainstream media outlets. I'm in Kenya and I tune in more often into your program especially the one featuring humanitarian areas. Congratulations! Armstrong O'Brian Ongera, Jnr. Executive Director AID Kenya Foundation
	Richard Fuller 8/1/2010	Spirit In Action -Awakening Universe, Emerging Personhood - Mary Conrow Coelho Mark, Congratulations on the interview with Mary C Coelho! This is the first time I've heard her voice, and I am grateful for that added dimension. I've just finished listening to it, and I'm offering superficial responses. I hope I'll have more to offer later. Since we met at Session, I've had a chance to get into discussions with several members of meeting (6-10) who have read the book or have tried to. All but two have said they find the book difficult, many find it daunting. Listening to Mary, especially some of the occasions when she was reading from the book, I had that experience myself. I immediately "explained" it as "well, those sentences were written to be read, not heard; they are too dense to be assimilated in a single pass, as when one is only hearing them once." That "explanation" is probably a good one, but I think, additionally, Mary's presentation, what she offers us, is dense. As an undergraduate I had trouble reading math texts, because --I came to understand-- I had a preconception of not spending more than 15 minutes on a single page. Some of the stuff I was reading required an hour on two facing pages, and if I hadn't turned a page after 30 minutes I felt stuck, bogged down. Personally, I get giddy, reading AWAKENING UNIVERSE EMERGING PERSONHOOD, but in conversation with others in my meeting I have come to understand that is because I have immersed myself in the authors she addresses, for years. Like somebody who understands most of the math concepts being presented, the pages don't seem TOO packed with material.
	Anonymous 7/31/2010	Song Of The Soul -Mary Shapiro's Song of the Soul Mary has a sweet voice that melts stress and allows it to flow from the body. Her words are a gentle reminder of what is really important. Your show is a blessing to all who stop by to listen.
	Cathy Walker 7/24/2010	Spirit In Action -Resisting War Taxes in Southern California Impressive - great music, real people.
	Ardith Tjossem 7/23/2010	Spirit In Action -Spirited Government - Sweden & Pennsylvania's Holy Experiment Since this is the first of your programs that I have heard, I really cannot "compare" it with any other. That said, I can hardly imagine a more interesting and well-presented program; I look forward to others.
	Denise Mitkus 7/20/2010	Song Of The Soul -Lisa Wildman's Song of the Soul Absolutely awesome Lisa! Your talent and your spirit shine through. I am proud to be your friend and your bandmate.
	Nathen Aswell 7/9/2010	Song Of The Soul -Nathen Aswell's Song of the Soul Dear Mark - I don't think that it would be fair for me to rate this show (!). That said, it gave me great joy to listen to it; you're a wonderful interviewer, and I very much enjoyed "dancing" with you. I wish you very well with all that you do, and I hope that I get to meet you in person one fine day. Much love to you, dear man, - Nathen XO
	Wesley White 7/9/2010	Spirit In Action -Amy DeLong - Kairos CoMotion Your interview with Amy 3 years ago is an important marker in the on-going history of The United Methodist Church and sexuality in general - in this case that of gay men and lesbians. Amy talked about the potential of a trial and it appears that is about to happen. Thank you for the good questions you asked of an articulate responder. That combination has and will spark growth the life of both individuals and institutions.
	Elvira Hauschild 7/4/2010	Song Of The Soul -Peggy Seeger's Song of the Soul Thanks for the possibility to listen to what Peggy has to tell us, no matter how far apart we live.
	Jami 7/3/2010	Song Of The Soul -Alivia Biko's Song of the Soul The voice of an angel.
	Iris Graville 7/1/2010	Song Of The Soul -Alivia Biko's Song of the Soul Another inspiring interview with an important Quaker voice. Alivia's faith journey is moving; her conversion story especially spoke to me. She also has a beautiful, clear voice that conveys the presence of the Divine in her own words and music and the interpretation of others'. This is an interview I'll return to, so I've downloaded it on my iPod.
	Carol Clair 6/21/2010	Song Of The Soul -Peter Phippen's Song of the Soul This was great as is everything Peter Phippen does.
	Dallas Brown 6/17/2010	Song Of The Soul -Peter Phippen's Song of the Soul Great interview with peter, he's such a great guy and a great flute player. i feel that his path is quite similar to my own. I can't wait to share the stage with him. thank you for letting me speak my mind, take care and may the spirits be with you...blessed be.
	Les Wilson 6/16/2010	Song Of The Soul -Peter Phippen's Song of the Soul Hi Mark, I live in england and was sent the link to this show by an Estonian friend. I would like to say that quite apart from the wonderful music played by Peter, I was struck by the warmth and intelligence of your presentation - the friendly approach that was able to draw great insights from him. Indeed it was like two dear friends talking in a pleasant unhurried way and made me envious that there is nothing quite like this in england. Perhaps one day when I amass a little more music of my own I may find myself at the happy place of being interviewed by yourself. Wonderful. Best Regards, Les Wilson
	Barbara Turner HarveyU 6/12/2010	Song Of The Soul -Mike Hamer's Song of the Soul Mike Hamer is connected to his soul. His music is centered and has great respect for himself and for his community of listeners. Mike works to embrace differences in a way that is refreshing. He is attuned to the Great Spirit at work within each living being. His work is fresh and vital to the community. Listening to him provides one with time to play, to be sensual, to be nostalgic and to promote healing within. He is a true blessing both to the wheelchair bound and to the persons who are able to walk and to run. Mike's light is a testimony to the richness within his soul and spirit. Just cannot put anymore words into this space that tells you the love for this special human being.
	Rochelle 6/6/2010	Song Of The Soul -Rod Kinny's Song of the Soul Thanks Mark for a wonderfully done interview that guides us down the path of one man's spiritual journey of awakening. I feel nourished by the content of the conversation, as well as, the music.
	Anonymous 6/4/2010	Song Of The Soul -Peter Phippen's Song of the Soul Peter is an amazing artist!
	Anonymous 5/25/2010	Song Of The Soul -David Serotkin's Song of the Soul Lovely music!
	jami magwood 5/25/2010	Song Of The Soul -David Serotkin's Song of the Soul Your music is beautiful as well as your word's, i enjoyed listening. To me there is nothing more beautiful then finding yourself spiritually, as i am on my journey now.
	Opal Wong 5/24/2010	Song Of The Soul -David Serotkin's Song of the Soul David,I appreciate so much knowing how you came to write these songs. The last song carried the beauty of looking up at the incredible wonder of the night sky even without words.And your quote about being in a joyful state realizing we cannot comprehend the Mystery resonated with me 100%. So eloquently said. It is wonderful that you can share your soul with the world through your creative work. Your gifts bring Light and healing energy to the planet and I am happy to know you are being recognized. Thank you and bless you in all of your inspired creations!
	Anonymous 5/24/2010	Song Of The Soul -David Serotkin's Song of the Soul I am so proud of you, David. I shared this radio show with many friends in China and they love it too. We hope that you bring more songs and surprises to us, and God bless you. Teng @ Shenyang, China 05-24-2010

	Totsie Marine 5/1/2010	Song Of The Soul -Peggy Seeger's Song of the Soul Peggy's life story accompanied by her heartful soul songs creates a charming loving and inspiring experience.
	Pamela 4/30/2010	I loved the interview finding it very informative. Thanks for presenting such an interesting guest.

	John De Boer 4/27/2010	Song Of The Soul -Peter Phippen's Song of the Soul Absolutely Wonderful!!! Peter is the best at what he does there is no one better. john
	Hank Hofmann 4/27/2010	Spirit In Action -Quetico & Awakening - 2 Books Opening Wider I listened to this segment because I had first met Jon Nelson in 1981 when he was a park ranger in Quetico (and then again in Thunder Bay last autumn on my way to my most recent canoe trip to Quetico). He is a fascinating person and has produced an excellent book on the park. This was a very good interview; I thoroughly enjoyed it. (The digression on health care was also very interesting; Jon explained the Canadian system very well).
	Helen Marrs 4/27/2010	Song Of The Soul -Peter Phippen's Song of the Soul Loved it!
	Greg Laszakovits 4/12/2010	Spirit In Action -Grace Goes To Prison - Melanie Snyder Enjoyed hearing Melanie recount the formation of the book and appreciate Northern Spirit taking the time and energy to support informative and inspirational news.
	Forrest Ladd 4/10/2010	Spirit In Action -Grace Goes To Prison - Melanie Snyder I appreciate what Melanie is doing now to make the work of Grace better known, and also the work that Grace has done.
	michelle lynn 4/10/2010	Song Of The Soul -Brahman Shaman/Matt Olson's Song of the Soul I enjoyed hearing indepth explanations about the songs. It is interesting how they take on a life of their own. Also, it is hopeful to me to hear conversations like this going on between people who used to be strangers. Great insights. Thank you both for your influence.
	amy 4/10/2010	Song Of The Soul -Mike Hamer's Song of the Soul Great interview and wonderful to hear Mike talking so much about himself and then playing his music. Brought me back to Greenville days when Mike's music was the heart and soul of a community --definitely brought it all back home. Loved the way he reminded us of Annie Dillard's mysticism, his myth classes and telling now of going back to church. Full circle. Loved hearing about trying a new musical instrument not just for the fun of it but also the therapy, never defeated by his physical ills and even now finding ways to make more and better music when physical limits assailed him. Most of all it was great to hear about his undying love for the world and that beautiful eastern North Carolina swampland, the Tar River by his back doorstep and the sweet blackwater creeks where good friends still paddle him around among the cypress trees and blue herons. Mike and his music are a part of many lives. Lucky am I to be one of them. Amy Hannon, Clinton, NJ
	Jean Moyer 4/9/2010	Spirit In Action -Grace Goes To Prison - Melanie Snyder How wonderful to have a radio program where people like Melanie Snyder can share what they are doing to bring light, peace and justice to our world. Thank you for providing a voice for people who are seeking bring compassion and light to others.
	Anonymous 4/8/2010	Song Of The Soul -Mike Hamer's Song of the Soul Wonderful and inspiring guest, well-interviewed too.
	damian 4/6/2010	Spirit In Action -Quetico & Awakening - 2 Books Opening Wider great 1-2 insight and grounding. thanks mark damian dude
	michael steele 4/4/2010	Spirit In Action -Quetico & Awakening - 2 Books Opening Wider I really like the sound of both voices being heard and was impressed by both the type of questions and also the responses Michael Robins gave...it seems to be resonating that his experience is an awakeing to us also. Having spoken to Michael myself now, I feel that there is truth in what not only he says, but the power in which broadcasts out of him in a form of LOVE. Thanks to both of you for your passion and path that is leading others inwards and resonating out. Peace Michael
	Nichole 4/3/2010	Powerful infomation.
	joan hamer 4/2/2010	Song Of The Soul -Mike Hamer's Song of the Soul Mike is my brother...heard a few things I wasn't aware of!!!!! Good showBLAKOW
	Anthony Reczek 3/31/2010	Song Of The Soul -Mike Hamer's Song of the Soul Mark, Thank you for bringing us the wonderful spirit and music of Mike Hamer. He taught me guitar some 40 years ago with the utmost patience and good humor, and I remember fondly the days of playing music with him. Whatever the venue: bars, coffehouses, nursing homes, or girl scout meeings, and whomever the audience - from the most disconsolate drunk to the most irrepressible kid, Mike brought an incredible joie de vivre and ability to connect, and was always looking to dissolve that stuff that holds us back from one another. And he's been doing that with his music for over half a century! Rock on, my man!
	Anonymous 3/31/2010	Spirit In Action -Honduran Witness & US CO's - Father Melo plus Center on Conscience & War I purchased the CD of Father Moreno's radio interview in Eau Claire and played it in class at Carroll U. on Monday. It was wonderful!
	Bruce Pruitt-Hamm 3/18/2010	Song Of The Soul -Tom Rawson's Song of the Soul What a guy! What a great guy! Thanks for the songs, the inspiration, the humor and the clear delight you carry in having fun while doing good. Great show!
	S. Ann Kessler 3/18/2010	Song Of The Soul -Warren Petryk's Song of the Soul Inspirational, beautiful, brilliant, God-filled! Perhaps this is a biased evaluation as I treasure Warren as a personal friend. While listening meditatively to his words and his music, I couldn't help reliving many of the memories I have shared with the Memories, especially Warren, with whom I have spent many unforgettable hours over the years. His person and his music have always been an inspiration to me--whether we were discussing the place of God in our lives or watching the Gandhi video together, or just enjoying the range of his tenor as he and his friends shared themselves with us decades ago in Aberdeen, South Dakota, my hometown. I miss him and will never forget how willing he was to share his gift of music, his time and energy, and the love of God with this elderly Benedictine nun. Everyone whose life he has touched has profited by the experience. Thank you for having him on your radio show and giving us the opportunity of sharing it on the internet. I loved it all! May God reward him and you.
	Allen Stockbridge 3/11/2010	Song Of The Soul -David Rovics' Song of the Soul I saw David Rovics perform last night at the Whatcom Peace and Justice Center in Bellingham, WA. I was pleased to learn that he had already been a guest on the Song of the Soul show, and I am listening to it now. Thank you, Northern Spirit Radio, for lifting the voice of David, and people like David, to take the progressive and enlightened message of peace and environmental stewardship, among others, to the people.
	Dan Hawley 3/10/2010	i would like to use a photo from your site and i need your permission to use it. it is for my school project and i will not be making any money from it, please and thank you
	Jody Hagedorn 3/7/2010	Song Of The Soul -Gina Citoli's Song of the Soul WOW! Mark, thank you for sharing your gifts through this radio program...VERY WELL DONE!!! I appreciate all you do to promote wellness and love! If you have any more ideas on how we best promote her time here, thanks for letting me know. Are you attending Gina's concert on Tuesday the 16th? Best of bests to you! Jody
	Sam 3/7/2010	Spirit In Action -The Children of Mother Glory - Michele Harris Sounds like a good read. Thanks for bringing this to us.
	Joanna Schoettler 3/2/2010	Song Of The Soul -Tom Rawson's Song of the Soul It is always a pleasure to hear Tom and his music! It makes me want to sing, dance, laugh, and to stand up and take more actions on Peace,Social Justice and Environmental issues! We have known each other through protesting the Bangor nuclear submarine base, Fellowship of Reconciliation (MLK,jr joined this pacifist organ. 12/06/58, 2 days after I was born), Seattle Folklife Festival, taking the photograph on his first album, producing Bill Staines concerts, and attending a recording session on an album. He is a great man and humanitarian! Peace to you, Justice for all and Love to ya' Tom!
	Bob Higgins 3/1/2010	Song Of The Soul -Annabella Wood's Song of the Soul I happen to run into Annabella Wood here in Reading, PA at a Unity Church Service yesterday. Her music touched me a great deal and I purchased a her current CD and asked her for her card where I got her website and. consequently, this interview/performance. I am moved by her story, her singing and her song writing. Thanks for providing her the platform on which to meet many others of the mystery and quest for spiritual truths. Bob
	Dan Lambert 2/26/2010	Song Of The Soul -Tom Rawson's Song of the Soul Great show. I've seen Tom perform several times and have talked to him but this interview gives me a deeper understanding of his background and where some of his songs came from. Thanks
	Cyndi Morrison 2/23/2010	Spirit In Action -Paddle for the Planet - David Abazs Appreciate that efforts like this are being showcased to inspire the rest of us to make a difference. Thanks for your positive news reporting!
	Iris Graville 2/22/2010	Song Of The Soul -Tom Rawson's Song of the Soul An inspiring program that left me smiling, singing, crying, and full of hope. Tom's stories of his spiritual journey and how he uses music to promote peace and justice are affirming of the value of the creative spirit in such efforts. Plus it sounds like he has lots of fun! I also appreciated learning more about the songs, song-witers, and Tom's philosophy about performing music. Mark asked insightful questions, and Tom was eloquent in his responses. I'll listen again (and buy some of Tom's CDs) when I need a lift.
	Crispin Pierce 2/21/2010	Spirit In Action -ENPH - Environmental Public Health At Work Thanks so much Mark for giving my students and me the opportunity to share the important academic preparation and community involvement in our UW-Eau Claire Environmental Public Health Major. I felt that you did an excellent job in bringing out our spiritual values as they guide our efforts to protect public health.

	Katelon Jeffereys 2/18/2010	Song Of The Soul -Tom Rawson's Song of the Soul I love Tom's concerts and music. What a treat to hear more about his life, his influences, thoughts, inspirations! I've never heard about this program and am excited to get introduced to it. Music has been my deepest passion since early childhood. It has been my healer, my companion, my savior, my inspiration. How wonderful to find a program and honors that. Thank you!!!
	Tom Rawson 2/18/2010	Spirit In Action -Hands At Work - Iris Graville Very inspirational and thought-provoking. Thanks, Iris and Mark.

	Julie Hoffman 2/14/2010	Song Of The Soul -Bruce Hecksel's Song of the Soul Patchouli is my favorite music so I enjoyed Bruce Hecksel's Song of the Soul. The site was easy to use and I am likely to listen again. Thank you for having Patchouli on your show!
	Andy Wangstad 2/13/2010	Song Of The Soul -Tom Rawson's Song of the Soul A great show. Tom Rawson is the "real thing." He speaks - and sings - from the heart. If at all possible try to see a live show.
	gale lurie 2/12/2010	Song Of The Soul -Tom Rawson's Song of the Soul Tom is terrific.
	Pat Carfra 2/11/2010	Song Of The Soul -Tom Rawson's Song of the Soul HI, I don't know if my comment was actually sent, so I'm repeating it' I love Tom Rawson. I enjoyed your program featuring him very much and thought that you did him justice in your interview, showing your radio audience what a fine man he is in every way. Pat Carfra Victoria, B.C. Canada p.s. Chris Williamson does a great job on the old song, your theme song, 'Song of the Soul'. The last time I heard it was when my 96 year old aunt sang it to me over the phone with great gusto. Does she have it on a CD? I couldn't find that info on her website. Thanks
	damian dude 2/11/2010	Spirit In Action -Paddle for the Planet - David Abazs outstanding lives and program ! I'm forwarding it to Jim, kate, my friends at the 60th parallel (< : and others..... good work mon d-dude
	Joyce Zerwekh 2/10/2010	Song Of The Soul -Tom Rawson's Song of the Soul Authentic truthtelling. Beautiful music reflecting the human condition.
	Anonymous 2/10/2010	Spirit In Action -Paddle for the Planet - David Abazs Love hearing how people are making a difference on the planet. David is an innovator and I look forward to hearing more while they take their trip. Good interviewer!
	Shirley Robbins 2/9/2010	Spirit In Action -Paddle for the Planet - David Abazs I may be prejudiced, since Lise Abazs is my niece. I liked David the moment I met him, and found the boys (as quite young ones, when I saw them) to be unusually nice, and talented. This interview kept me listening to the end. Well done! What great work that family has been doing for 20 years - puts the rest of us to shame.
	Joseph E Fasciani 2/9/2010	Song Of The Soul -Tom Rawson's Song of the Soul Hello! I was given one of his albums b y Bob & Betty McInnes, and enjoyed it then, but now even more knowing some of the background and history! I'm 67, an ex-pat from the USSA [not a typo] in 1969, and now live near Victoria, BC All best, Joseph PS: The colours of the code box make it impossible to read.... Fortunately, I was able to highlight and copy it!
	Diane Pasta 2/9/2010	Song Of The Soul -Tom Rawson's Song of the Soul I do love Tom Rawson's performances and in person he is even better!
	Liz Kohlenberg 2/9/2010	Song Of The Soul -Kate MacLeod's Song of the Soul wonderful show. I was not familiar with much of kate's music and I loved this.
	Marsha Traxler 2/8/2010	Spirit In Action -Goin' Wild - Wild Foods & Fauna I have the deepest respect for Sam Thayer. His knowledge and ability to convey his excitement and reverence for Creation are inspiring and reassuring. It's comforting to know that people like Sam are out there helping Americans to understand the incredible blessings that surround us naturally. Thank you for featuring him.
	Kathy Meyerson 2/8/2010	Song Of The Soul -Tom Rawson's Song of the Soul I like what your show is doing and I like that you found out about Tom Rawson. I used to be in a folk singing group with Tom called The Raging Zephyr in Seattle area and he was a driving force in that group with his wonderful musical and singing ability and the fine songs he brought to our performances. I have also heard him perform throughout Washington state and he gives a top notch show and has a sincerely good heart and mission. I am so happy to know Tom and will continue to attend his shows.
	Karen Kirkwood 2/8/2010	Song Of The Soul -Tom Rawson's Song of the Soul I love it when my past lives collide. After leaving Menomonie Wisconsin, where Dean and I attended Quaker meeting for awhile and met Mark, we lived in Chehalis. We became part of the Fellowship of Reconciliation and got to hear Tom sing and play at Seabeck and various other places. Yay! Blessings, karen
	Jeannie Graves 2/8/2010	Song Of The Soul -Tom Rawson's Song of the Soul Thank you so much for this program. Tom is something of a local hero and it's wonderful to hear a bit of his story as well as his songs. Jeannie Graves
	laurie Childers 2/8/2010	Song Of The Soul -Tom Rawson's Song of the Soul I loved it! Safari let me listen (Google Chrome did not). Glad I persevered and got through. Many thanks. You got the best of Tom Rawson in a lovely radio show. Laurie
	Anonymous 2/8/2010	Song Of The Soul -Tom Rawson's Song of the Soul It is good to hear from the life of someone so dedicated to moving this world ahead a step or two in the direction of peace and rationality.
	laurie childers 2/8/2010	I can't get it to play on my computer! MacBook OS X, using Chrome as my browser. I'll try another browser but . . .
	Liz Kohlenberg 2/8/2010	Song Of The Soul -Sally Rogers' Song of the Soul I have loved Sally Roger's music for years. This interview and its music was a delight -- a lovely introduction to who she is as well as some songs I did not know. It amazes me that she has blended such a steller musical career with such a family and community centered life.
	Liz Kohlenberg 2/8/2010	Song Of The Soul -Tom Rawson's Song of the Soul I loved this interview with Tom Rawson. I know Tom as a friend and musical comrade, and I have been to some of his concerts and own his CDs. I loved listening to him talk about the reasons he selected each song he played here. They do represent his community and nature-centered heart and soul. For Tom, there is not much distinction between doing good caring work in the world and being "spiritual". This is my first encounter with the format for this show, which I really like, by the way.
	mary van buren 2/8/2010	Song Of The Soul -Tom Rawson's Song of the Soul This was wonderful! Tom's fan base extends all the way across country to Connecticut, where his loyal hometown fans remain. What a pleasure to hear his voice and his music.
	Peggy Love 2/8/2010	Song Of The Soul -Tom Rawson's Song of the Soul Wow. Thanks for this wonderful hour with Tom. I have been a fan for years and count him a friend, too. I really enjoyed learning more about his music and his spiritual journey. He really lives a life that is making a difference. Thanks, Tom.
	joe marchbanks 2/7/2010	Song Of The Soul -Tom Rawson's Song of the Soul Great show with Tom Rawson, who is a dear friend of our Family, and a person that we can't seem to get enough of, Musically or Spiritually. Many Thanks to you Mark, for this opportunity.
	Carol Elwood 2/7/2010	Song Of The Soul -Tom Rawson's Song of the Soul Lovely to hear this interview, thanks both Tom and Mark. I loved also hearing it bracketed by an old favorite by Chris Williamson. This almost makes up for not seeing you in Bend, OR last fall. Enjoy your sabbatical but hurry back...we have fish here!
	Jim Moffatt 2/7/2010	Song Of The Soul -Tom Rawson's Song of the Soul Good to hear you again Tom. Hope to see hear more of you soon
	Anonymous 2/7/2010	Song Of The Soul -Tom Rawson's Song of the Soul I'm at a public library... and I wasn't able to connect to the audio link, so I didn't hear it. I know Tom Rawson, though, and I think he's great!
	Nancy Ewert 2/2/2010	Song Of The Soul -Tom Rawson's Song of the Soul WOW!! I listened to Tom Rawson on my early morning walk today and what a treat it was!! Such beautiful music and lyrics. I was uplifted for the day....thank you Tom and Mark!
	Arvy Mack 2/2/2010	Spirit In Action -Goin' Wild - Wild Foods & Fauna Interesting with great content.
	Anonymous 2/1/2010	Spirit In Action -Goin' Wild - Wild Foods & Fauna I always love listening to interviews with Sam. This was both thought provoking and informative. Thanks for the opportunity to hear Sam speak.
	Anonymous 1/30/2010	Spirit In Action -Risë Hunter - Monteverde, Costa Rica & The Cloud Forest School Nice assortment of questions with good informational answers.
	Julie Schmitt 1/23/2010	Song Of The Soul -Mary Shapiro's Song of the Soul Inspiring and Uplifting. Thank you Mark and Mary for filling this last hour with enjoyment and grace.
	Joan Sanders 1/16/2010	Song Of The Soul -Bruce Hecksel's Song of the Soul This program is new to me. It came to me from being on Patchouli's listserve and I'm so grateful. Hearing Bruce's journey and his freedom to pursue what he loves is very healing to me. I love the idea of ministering through music. It seems many of us brought up in the '50s and '60s were boxed in by a rather conservative stricture. Even though loving, it could bring a judgmental atmosphere which was easy to take on as baggage. Thank you, Bruce, Mark and Julie for bringing that joyful, loving sense of forgiveness.
	David Abazs 1/12/2010	Song Of The Soul -Bruce Hecksel's Song of the Soul I find this interview to be very interesting and thought provoking. I also think that Mark's interviews are more refreshing than the NPR program Fresh Air. In fact, I think the Song of the Soul program, this one with Bruce Hecksel is no exception, is a cross between Fresh Air and Speaking of Faith. Keep up the good work Mark!
	Kim and John 1/9/2010	Song Of The Soul -Bruce Hecksel's Song of the Soul We thoroughly enjoyed the program and in gaining insight into Bruce's musical journey. Rock on my friend.
	Kimberly 1/8/2010	Song Of The Soul -Kenzie Joy's Song of the Soul Listening to Kenzie Joy's beautiful music makes me feel so happy and proud. As her mother I feel bleesed to be a part of her life knowing she is doing what she loves most.
	Amazed 1/7/2010	Song Of The Soul -Kenzie Joy's Song of the Soul I thoroughly enjoyed the program! The lyrical content and melodies flow so easily from you Kenzie Joy. You do have a song in your soul and please keep sharing!
	Kelly 1/5/2010	Song Of The Soul -Kenzie Joy's Song of the Soul Loved the music and the interview. Such easy-listening sounds that I found soothing. Kenzie Joy has such a soulful voice beyond her years, wisdom that belies her years. Thanks for featuring her on your show, she is truly destined for great things.
	Aunt Sue 1/5/2010	Song Of The Soul -Kenzie Joy's Song of the Soul Finally got it to work - I am so glad! KenzieJoy, it was wonderful and I can hardly wait for the release of your CD. You Go, Girl!! Love, Aunt Sue
	Anonymous 1/5/2010	Song Of The Soul -Kenzie Joy's Song of the Soul Such a beautiful voice and what lovely songs. Kenzie will go far. Thank you for sharing.
	Sue 1/4/2010	Song Of The Soul -Kenzie Joy's Song of the Soul I could not get the link to play.
	Allen Stockbridge 12/21/2009	Song Of The Soul -Kate MacLeod's Song of the Soul I really enjoy all of the Song of the Soul shows. Please keep them coming. Kate's show was particularly interesting since I am a member of the Salt Lake Monthly Meeting, and enjoy her music very much. I think the show gives important visibility to Quakers and their view of the world. The Quaker spiritual approach and testimonies come to light in direct and subtle ways. Continued success with your important work.
	Cindy Peto 12/11/2009	Song Of The Soul -Annabella Wood's Song of the Soul I actually think it's pretty good. This girl should be on the Ellen DeGenerus Show singing that Truck Driven Mama song. Annebella has much to offer and a good future a head of her. She will go far. I will keep her in my prayers.
	Bertie 12/11/2009	Song Of The Soul -Annabelle Wood's 2nd Song of the Soul I'm not a frequent web listener, so hearing this interview with its six original songs was a special treat. Thanks for presenting it.
	Anonymous 12/8/2009	Song Of The Soul -Annabelle Wood's 2nd Song of the Soul Fabulous.
	Ruth ( Marti ) Williams 12/7/2009	Song Of The Soul -Annabella Wood's Song of the Soul wonderful, wonderful, keep them coming
	Ruth (Marti) Williams 12/7/2009	Song Of The Soul -Annabella Wood's Song of the Soul WONDERFUL, GIVE ME MORE. DON'T KNOW WHY SHE DOESN'T GO ON AMERICAN IDOL. I LOVE HER.
	Art 12/7/2009	Spirit In Action -Holistic Development Mission in Rwanda - Debby Thomas I can relate to these young missionaries because they are Quakers and their spiritual perspective. It has much more meaning to me, personally. I loved listening to their involvement with the local agriculture. I agree that it's best to teach someone to fish than to provide fish. Teaching empowers people. My own personal belief is that teaching someone about the spirit within us all is the ultimate empowerment. Conversely, teaching that God is outside and requires a third party for salvation is the ultimate enslavement.
	Terry Reynolds 12/3/2009	Song Of The Soul -Paulette Meier's Song of the Soul Wonderful! I'm so grateful for Paulette and her music.
	Bry Preston Yost 11/23/2009	Song Of The Soul -Russ Downs' Song of the Soul Great program! Russ writes from his heart. His personal experiences have enhanced if not perfected his songwriting talent. Russ, you are a romantic, keep up the great lyrics. Bry
	Miriam Yagud 11/16/2009	Spirit In Action -Fit For Freedom, Not For Friendship - Donna McDaniel and Vanessa Julye I am an English Friend based in the UK. I am reading this book at the moment. Its great that Donna and Vanessa have done all the work to get this VERY important book out there. I have always been suspicious of the holier than thou attitude that crops up again and again among Friends. Recently I suggested we get a copy of this book for our Quaker meeting library but was told it was not an appropriate book as it was about American Friends. I reminded people that most early Friends who went to the US were English! It is our history too. Having attended Meetings in the US, I have found little difference in attitudes among white Friends regarding reasons why Black people are not among us or are so few. The same goes for working class people. The patterns described are the same or very similar as described in the book. This work will serve the cause of anti racist Friends in the UK as much as in the US. It is a very very important myth buster...Your interview was very good. Thankyou for your inspiration. I will definately stay tuned from afar
	damian 11/11/2009	Spirit In Action -Injustice in Latin America & In The Church: Father Roy Bourgeois, SOA Watch Founder Great Work Mark and very Timely. SOA watch is one of the most exemplary Christian and Humanistic endeavors going. To hear about it from the founder Fr Bourgeois is inspiring damian
	Daniel Zwickel ben Avram 11/8/2009	Spirit In Action -Injustice in Latin America & In The Church: Father Roy Bourgeois, SOA Watch Founder Dear Spirit In Action (certainly preferable to spirit inaction), Thank you for including my music in your podcast last week, in your interview with Fr. Roy. Here are a couple of good reasons it's always a good idea to contact the artist: First, I've added orchestration to the recording since it first came out, and fixed a couple of things that were annoying me. I would have been happy to send you a wav file of the latest version. Second, my name is pronounced "ben AH-vrahm" (son of Abraham.) However, wonderful interview, and I feel honored to have been a small part of it. For you listeners who would like to hear the later version, here's a link, and it includes a link to another version where it is in a medley with another song, one I wrote at the beginning of the Gulf War ("From the jungles of Central America to the deserts of the Middle East, Empire marches on ...." www.Lagrimas.ws/lagrimas_candle.htm By the way, the recording is part of a larger work, "Metanoia -- a Universalist Mass", a musical call for radical transformation and social justice. YOu may hear a sampling at: http://www.MetanoiaMass.com/SacredJazzSampler_09.htm, and, should you wish to contact me, my e-mail address is Daniel@PeaceHost.net. Peace, Daniel Zwickel ben Avram
	Nancy Ewert 11/2/2009	Spirit In Action -Sacred Activism - Andrew Harvey This morning I listened to your interview with Andrew Harvey. I really enjoyed the interview and found the interview really spoke to me, especially on the heels of a worship sharing we had yesterday. I could not figure out where I had heard his name before but I knew I had..... Came home and looked into my emails (where I thought I had seen it) and found that he is coming in November to Lopez!!!! I just signed up to spend the day with him!! So once again, Mark, thank you!!!!
	Liz Oppenheimer 10/27/2009	Hey, Mark-- It's GREAT to see how far a reach Northern Spirit Radio has these days! I have some serious catching up to do, looking over the number of topics covered and people interviewed. Blessings, Liz Opp(enheimer) - thegoodraisedup.blogspot.com
	Catherine Hix 10/22/2009	Quaker Quotes -George Fox's Breakthrough I would not want to rate your show, as I have only listened this time; however, i applaud the intent of your program. Through this medium you may touch many that we in the clergy do not reach in the church.
	Chloe Wolsey 10/21/2009	Spirit In Action -Building Bridges Anti-racism Training Enjoyed the show. We love what you are doing with Northern Spirit Radio. My wife & I live in Holland and attend the Amsterdam Meeting. We are encouraged by hearing the about lives well spent: we are trying to make headway toward living totally sustainable lives, with many family & friends thinking we are scare-mongering, or batty. So, thanks. We believe faith is empty without action. Much Love Chloe & Helen
	Anonymous 10/19/2009	Spirit In Action -Alums Serving the World - Brydie Hill & Mark Lassman-Eul I loved every bit ofthis radio interview. Brydies crystal clear voice, the giggles and the occasional laughter were very familiar .This is a practical example of Illuminating the connections between the roots and fruits of the Spirit. Brydie is a wonderful woman, and a blessing to many. May God Bless your work and fill your baskets.
	Mark Helpsmeet 10/18/2009	Spirit In Action -Body, Mind, Spirit (Moving) - The Oct 30-31 Conference at UW-Stout Thanks, Bob, for the interview and the correction on the phone number - I tend to be somewhat dyslexic - by the way, did you hear about the dyslexic devil-worshipper who screwed up and sold his soul to Santa?
	Bob Salt 10/17/2009	Spirit In Action -Body, Mind, Spirit (Moving) - The Oct 30-31 Conference at UW-Stout thanks, Mark. Nicely done. I appreciate your efforts. 1 minor correction the phone number is 232-2793. You had the numbers out of order in the box. many thanks!!!!
	"Mom" Ginger Erdman 10/15/2009	Song Of The Soul -Brian Bethke's Song of the Soul I am Brian's mom and his music is awesome. I never get sick of listening to it. I am so proud of him. Great interview!!
	Sarah Bethke-Erdman 10/15/2009	Song Of The Soul -Brian Bethke's Song of the Soul Great interview! I have had the pleasure of listening to Brian since he was a young boy and watched his evolution into an amazing artist and man. The interview was very tastefully done and got to the core of what Brian stands for. Great Job both of you!!
	Jamey D 10/14/2009	Song Of The Soul -Brian Bethke's Song of the Soul Brian Bethke rocks. If you have a chance to meet Brian and listen to his origanal music you will quickly become a fan. Brian is a very real person and so is his music. He playes a lot between Eau Claire and Osseo, make sure you check out one of his shows you won't regret it.
	Antoine Smith 10/13/2009	Song Of The Soul -Brian Bethke's Song of the Soul Very nice music!
	Holly 10/12/2009	Song Of The Soul -Brian Bethke's Song of the Soul I am very lucky to be the cousin of such a wonderful musician and I am glad he is letting the world hear his music. Brian's music is very personal and Song of the Soul is a great program that lets artists share the personal story of their songs.
	Anonymous 10/12/2009	Song Of The Soul -Brian Bethke's Song of the Soul This young man has a grasp on things far beyond his years. his music transports you to the places he sings of. Keep an eye on him, he will go far with talent like this....
	Willis Sage 10/12/2009	Spirit In Action -Alums Serving the World - Brydie Hill & Mark Lassman-Eul I really liked the interview. I was actually on the electrical mission with Tim. I really enjoyed my time there, it is really hard to see just how bad these people have it compared to the way we live. I would recommend a trip with Brydie to anyone. I would like to return there some day myself.
	Grace of God 10/11/2009	Song Of The Soul -Brian Bethke's Song of the Soul I absolutely enjoyed listening to Brian Bethke”s interview! It was nice getting to hear some Bethke favorites and to hear what they mean from the heart of the artist. Brian has a unique style that is deserving of great things! Thank you for taking the time to share your journey! For His Glory and by His Grace, Nancy

	Barbara A. Dixon 10/2/2009	Song Of The Soul -Russ Downs' Song of the Soul This is a most wonderful introduction to your show. Russ Downs is the consummate artist--performer and creator. You have truly brought out his spirit. I love his music, and I thank you for having it on your generous show. Yours truly, Barbara Dixon
	Suzy Grindrod 9/26/2009	Song Of The Soul -Ed Feeny's Song of the Soul One of the best concerts Ed and I ever attended was Johnny Clegg in Madison on Halloween, 1992. They performed Asimbonanga; it was going along nicely and then, the female vocalist stepped up to the microphone and belted out her part of the song -- it was a POWERFUL moment. That part of the song never fails to give me goosebumps! Thanks for this program. It goes w/o saying that I think Ed is a pretty special person.
	Judy Miner 9/20/2009	Spirit In Action -WNPJ Awards - Esther Heffernan & Prison Reform Thanks for this interview on the Lifetime work and awards coming up with WNPJ!
	Mark Helpsmeet 9/18/2009	Essay & Thoughts -Free From Hell I'll toss my 2-cents-worth here in about Lawrence's comments - I appreciate the feedback. While I don't expect that Lawrence will agree with me, I can provide ample evidence of my statements. One of statements that Lawrence apparently ignored, is that the Bible contains statements on both sides. In other words, in some places it implies that NO ONE will go to hell, and in other places (more popular for hell-fire and damnation oriently preachers) it definitely refers to people going to hell. The Bible is NOT of one mind on this issue. There's a lot more to be said, but the essay was limited to 800 words, for my local paper. If you want a full, thoughtful, careful treatment of the topic, read Gulley & Mulholland's books, "If Grace is True" and "If God is Love" - my comments are a weak echo of what they have to say. And I thank you again, Lawrence Felip, for your comments, and I promise to be as faithful to God's Word as I am able. Mark Helpsmeet
	Anonymous 9/17/2009	Essay & Thoughts -Free From Hell Dear Lawrence Felipe The U. S. A. is a free country last I knew ...that would mean freedom of or from religion. It is not right that you impose your religious views here. I for one thought "Free from Hell" was a Great read and quite true.
	Nancy Ewert 9/12/2009	Have you ever met Tom Rawson? I wonder if you have....I love Tom and he adds SO much to our Quarterly and Yearly meetings....He might be a great one for Song of the Soul. here is his site.... http://www.tomrawson.com/folksinger.html
	Nancy Ewert 9/12/2009	Spirit In Action -Books to Heal the World - Buddha's Wife & Quaking I just posted a comment but forgot to also tell you that I immediately bought Quaking for myself and my daughters...can't wait to read it....
	Nancy Ewert 9/12/2009	WOW!!! Where do I start?????? I finally got the kinks worked out and began to download your podcasts and I just can't get enough!! It is blackberry picking season here in the Northwest and I have loved picking with Marcus Borg!!!! Mark, you asked so many of the questions I would have wanted to ask him!! And then I went to Rwanda and had my heart filled, remembering Florence who talked to North Pacific Yearly Meeting about HROC last summer. I could go on and on. Then, of course there is Song of the Soul.....I DID wonder what had ever happened to Claudia Schmidt! Now I know! I had heard a few of Susan Werner's songs before and always wondered about her. And I am learning about so many others....thank you for this rich, deep work you are doing and for enabling me to add so much to my daily tasks!!! Can't wait to hear more and more..... Thank you, thank you
	Joyce Akayesu 9/10/2009	Spirit In Action -Rwandan Witness - Friends at Ground Zero I have tried to listen to your voice,Sizeri,my self and Gaston today and Iam sheding tears of joy as I write this message to you, becouse I extreamly missing you and Gaston.It also made me remember the time you were in Rwanda as a group.thank you very much for every thing especially the simplified English which made me listen to peace makers Radio.Blessings to you,and the whole family.
	Alex 9/6/2009	Spirit In Action -Matt Hunter - Mindful Methodist & Friend of Non-violence This is a great example of the Spirit of God at work as we seek to live lives of peace. Thank you for sharing this great work! I've known Matt for many years and am so thankful for the way Matt allows God to use him.
	Lorna Reese 9/3/2009	Spirit In Action -Hands At Work - Iris Graville Iris is both thoughtful and articulate in this insightful interview about her astonishingly-beautiful book. I'm delighted to know that her thinking and her work are going out to a wider world and urge listeners to go to her website and see the book for themselves.
	Ron Metcalf 8/31/2009	Spirit In Action -Hands At Work - Iris Graville A very interesting and inspiring interview. Both Mark and Iris did a great job. Thank you.
	Lawrence Felipe 8/29/2009	Essay & Thoughts -Free From Hell sorry "Wrong direction" Using your secular "rationalism" will always send you in the right direction
	Lawrence Felipe 8/29/2009	Essay & Thoughts -Free From Hell Wow. just Wow. Do you even believe in Jesus? Your article assumes second guessing the Lord, do you know how dangerous this is? Especially if the unsaved take your point of view seriously. The main reason most people who follow Jesus "get it" ,(meaning what the Bible means in scripture) is through the Holy Spirit, who gives us discernment. The Lord loves completely, and he has a completely opposite plan for those who reject him. You cannot attempt to understand the Lords' plan/intentions in human terms- far from it. We live by faith and trust in Him, regardless of our human reservations. Allow yourself to trust COMPLETELY in the Lord. It will Indeed set you free. The Spirit does seem to be within you my brother. Using your secular "rationalism" will always send you in the right direction. Choose which promises to believe? Wow. I'll seriously ask the Spirit to speak with you my friend.
	Rose Marie Cipryk 8/28/2009	Song Of The Soul -Paulette Meier's Song of the Soul The interview is totally engaging. It is encouraging to hear how Paulette persisted through challenges, guided by her dreams. The interview flows smoothly from one topic to another. I love Paulette's humility, light tone and great stories
	Dhaivyd Hilgendorf 8/24/2009	Song Of The Soul -Magic Mama's Song of the Soul Hi, Mark- I ran into Magic Mama yesterday, just after your Song of the Soul show was broadcast. Small world. Beautiful people. A Marriage Clearness Committee at TCFM just recommended that the meeting take my marriage under its care in June of next year. Almost done with that masters program. Hope you're well. Hugs, -Dhaivyd
	Sooz 8/21/2009	Song Of The Soul -Mary Shapiro's Song of the Soul SO PROUD OF YOU, MARY!!!!!! What a wonderful show. I truly enjoyed listening to it and cannot wait to see you here in Cleveland soon!
	damian 8/18/2009	Spirit In Action -Books to Heal the World - Buddha's Wife & Quaking Hey mark another great program. it's great to see you evolve as an interviewer and to listen to such comforatable and insightful dialog. you always were good (< : hasta manana damian
	Donna McDaniel 8/8/2009	Spirit In Action -Fit For Freedom, Not For Friendship - Donna McDaniel and Vanessa Julye Of course, I think it's "best" because I'm one of those interviewed. I do want to thank Mark for asking great questions and, best of all, leaving time enough to answer them without having to talk as fast as possible! To have such time is a gift and it produced a very fair and full program about our work. Thank you, Mark, and those who spend the time listening.
	Lindy Gravelle 8/6/2009	Song Of The Soul -Earth Mama's Song of the Soul - Joyce Johnson Rouse What an entertaining,informative,intelligent and talented artist! I thoroughly enjoyed listening to your program with Earth Mama!
	Ken Schaefer 8/2/2009	Essay & Thoughts -A Cover to Match the Book: Finding the Israel in Your Jacob Great essay, Mark. I also feel there is something more in a name. We can either pick a new name or look in a different manner at the one we have. My last name is Schaefer. It means shepherd. I have been examining this name for years. My daughter is an artist and drew a picture of a shepherd with sheep and with calligraphy wrote SCHAEFER under the picture. It means very much to me on many levels. My confirmation name is James. I actually took it because the bishop who confirmed me was named James and we shared a birthday. Perhaps a shallow reason but the spirit has guides me to hold the name James in the Light and discern that the author of James wrote about social justice and righteousness. Thanks for all you do.
	Ken Schaefer 7/15/2009	Essay & Thoughts -What God Has Joined - One Man, One Woman? Echoed my position exactly.
	Bob Pressler 7/13/2009	Spirit In Action -Porter Place Ministries - Bobbi Jo Toy Very good. Good to hear BJT and to feel with her the desire to face the need that is there and conquer it with service.
	Sara Graham 7/12/2009	Spirit In Action -Bonnie Tinker - Love Makes A Family Thank you so much for having the forsight to interview Bonnie and the thoughtfulness to make it available at this time of great sorrow. As you must know, she was killed on July 2nd in a bicycle accident, hit by a dump truck, in Virginia while attending Friends General Conference. It is a great comfort to her family and friends to hear her tell her story in this marvellous interview. Thank you again.P
	Barbara 7/10/2009	Spirit In Action -Bonnie Tinker - Love Makes A Family What an amazing interview! Thank you! I may ask to play it at our next Prospect Hill Friends Mtg's "3rd Friday!" so that we'll have time to listen and discuss. I want these local Quakers, most of whom haven't been to FGC or FLGBTQ events to have a chance to experience Bonnie's clear leadings and actions, and her influence on the world.
	Cecil Charles Prescod 7/9/2009	Spirit In Action -Bonnie Tinker - Love Makes A Family I am a colleague and friend of Bonnie. We have known and worked together since the early 1990's. Together we travelled the country leading the LARA (speech as non violence) workshops. This interview is a gem; It captures Bonnie's spirit and life in a way that is poignant and filled with love. May the spirit of this wonderful woman live on in all who knew her. grace and peace, Cecil Charles Prescod, OCC
	Anonymous 7/9/2009	Spirit In Action -Bonnie Tinker - Love Makes A Family Just listened to your interview with my friend Bonnie Tinker; what a great job you did of asking questions and editing the program. Thank you... it is a fitting memorial to her life.
	Eric Kristensen 7/8/2009	Spirit In Action -Bonnie Tinker - Love Makes A Family Bonnie Tinker died last week while riding a bicycle on the campus of Virginia Tech in Blacksburg. She was attending the annual Gathering of Friends held by Friends General Conference. More information can be found here. I saw her grow through her anger into the loving person you hear in this program, and which she described near the end of this program. She was faithful to her leadings -- the highest compliment one Quaker can pay to another.
	Mona Cardell 7/8/2009	Spirit In Action -Bonnie Tinker - Love Makes A Family After I finally got my computer to play it (seems like the download took longer than I expected it to), I enjoyed the program. The world was diminished when we lost Bonnie and her ministry of advocacy for equal rights due to a tragic accident last week.
	Mona Cardell 7/8/2009	Spirit In Action -Bonnie Tinker - Love Makes A Family I couldn't actually get it to play on my computer. Not sure why.
	Mariana Ruybalid 7/8/2009	Spirit In Action -Bonnie Tinker - Love Makes A Family I couldn't play the program after I downloaded it. I have Windows Media Player.
	Kathryn Erskine 6/26/2009	Spirit In Action -The Local Eating Challenge - Ann Hippensteel After reading "Animal, Vegetable, Miracle" and "Plenty: One Man, One Woman, and a Raucous Year of Eating Locally," I particularly enjoyed Ann Hippensteel's 100 Mile Diet interview. My son did a video last year about eating local for a day in Virginia ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uGy5r-2wiO8 ), and it's definitely possible! I'm hooked (well, except for coffee, but at least it's roasted in Virginia). Ann has really thought this through and has some great ideas. I challenge everyone to try this, even a very modified version of this -- like buying some of your food at a farmer's market -- and you'll feel so good, physically and spiritually.
	Kathryn Erskine 6/26/2009	Spirit In Action -Rwandan Witness - Friends at Ground Zero Wow -- I was so touched by the interviews with those from Rwanda's Friends Peace House. How uplifting to hear of the wonderful work they do with children and with reconciliation as a result of the terrible atrocities there in 1994. I was moved to tears by the man who has not only forgiven those who killed members of his family, but is actually friends with those men. Incredible. Thanks for this eye-opening and heart-warming interview.
	Peter 6/17/2009	Essay & Thoughts -Free From Hell Very good show Mark. Thank you.
	Mary Shapiro 6/13/2009	Song Of The Soul -Russ Downs' Song of the Soul I know Russ: as a performer, teacher, producer, friend--and still I learned a lot about his beliefs and songs. Thanks for a great show, Mark and Russ.
	Lori Yates 6/8/2009	Song Of The Soul -Russ Downs' Song of the Soul Russ I love it. Your niece trixie is so proud & happy for you!!! Went on my space & listened to the songs. Great!!! Don't ever forget us. Congratulations
	Dale Allan Edminster 6/8/2009	Spirit In Action -Davida Johns - "Mature" Peace Corps volunteer and ProNica - Quaker aid to Nicaragua Davida has always been a good speaker and scincere person and is to be commended for her peace work around the world.
	Russ Downs 6/7/2009	Song Of The Soul -Russ Downs' Song of the Soul Why I believe this fellow is a genius! O.k. maybe not, thank you Mark for having me. It sounds great, I will spread the word. Russ
	Russ Downs 6/7/2009	Song Of The Soul -Mary Shapiro's Song of the Soul Very Nice Songs. Thank you Mary
	Anonymous 6/2/2009	Song Of The Soul -Peter Phippen's Song of the Soul I really enjoyed listened to Peter Phippen's music and his words spoken, he is truly gifted and and is in tune with all flutes he plays. I have had the pleasure meeting this amazing artist of wind that travels through many flutes and I can say it has been an honor for me to listen to his love in song. I totally agree with what he shared with giving everything away when making the music... that is the gift in receiving.. and I must say that most flute players are very gifted and play from their center the heart which is truly amazing. I thank you Mark from bringing Peter to the airwaves for us to hear his music and his words... I would LOVE to hear him again on your station. Good Music to you... Bernadette
	Tina Mercier 5/29/2009	Spirit In Action -If Grace Is True - Philip Gulley Mark, at the Lion's Camp you asked me to comment after listening to one of your cd's. I thoroughly enjoyed your interview with Phil Gulley, but had a question regarding his mention of supporting abortion in some specific cases. Why wouldn't he support adoption instead of abortion? Do you know? Thanks!
	Patricia Morrison 5/28/2009	Song Of The Soul -Mary Shapiro's Song of the Soul Wow, I love Cris Williamson's music and love the idea of connecting music and spiritual journey. It is a quite natural connection and I know that that, from an early age, each mixed tape, CD and now playlist I make is a kind of spiritual snapshot. I, too have been blessed by Mary on and off stage and look forward to touring the west coast with her this summer. Thank you!
	Sam Hensley 5/25/2009	Song Of The Soul -Mary Shapiro's Song of the Soul Mary is truly a person who speaks with her soul, and I have been blessed to spend time with her, both on and off stage. The songs she selected are truly a genuine representation of the walk she has engaged, and I can't wait for her new disc to come out.
	Anonymous 5/23/2009	Song Of The Soul -Mary Shapiro's Song of the Soul POWERFUL SHARING
	mary 5/23/2009	Song Of The Soul -Mary Shapiro's Song of the Soul Thank you SOOOO much Mark! You made this, (my first radio interview!) easy and enjoyable!
	magda capurso 5/19/2009	Peter Phippen is divinely inspired for his music, and beliefs, are sublime. His music takes you on an ethereal journey into nature and the universe...It's soulful and touches your heart. Brilliant artistry. Wonderful radio interview. Loved his insights about music and spirituality!
	Anonymous 5/18/2009	Song Of The Soul -Todd Werner's Song of the Soul Great Music. I'd love to hear about his kids music
	diana Roder 5/17/2009	Song Of The Soul -Peter Phippen's Song of the Soul Excellent musician Peter Phippen, and a beautiful person. Thank-you for the interview I rather enjoyed listening to it.
	Mary Ann 4/13/2009	Song Of The Soul -Peter Phippen's Song of the Soul This is the Peter I know. Brutally honest. The interview was meaningful and deep from within about different aspects of Peters life. I felt like I was in the room. There is so much passion in his music. He plays with his heart and soul about his experiences in life. I truly enjoyed listening to every minute.
	Yvonne 4/10/2009	Song Of The Soul -Peter Phippen's Song of the Soul I am enthralled with Peters music. Most amazing is his Blue Sunset which echoes the univeral rhythms I made in a painting from a blue sunset in Exuma. Yes, there are blue sunsets. Also Stevie Ray Vaughn also did not control his music and stated he felt his soul just was a receiver from universal rhythms. This is the hallmark of an artist, when their soul has a direct influence in their work.
	Jari Ylamaki 4/10/2009	Song Of The Soul -Peter Phippen's Song of the Soul Very intereasting and enjoyable.
	Yvonne 4/10/2009	Song Of The Soul -Peter Phippen's Song of the Soul Great interview and music ...
	Sharon 3/23/2009	Essay & Thoughts -Observance of Dead and Injured in Iraq and Afghanistan I thought the way the names were read, slow and somberly, really made you think about the fact that theses young people were no longer with us and the sadness their family must be living.
	Anthony Lee 3/22/2009	Song Of The Soul -Peter Phippen's Song of the Soul This interview further deepend my respect for Peter as an artist and a person. I have listend several times. There is magic in his music, and in his thoughts. GREAT show. Even led me to my first bansuri purchase.
	Sydney J. Tanner 3/20/2009	Song Of The Soul -Peter Phippen's Song of the Soul Great program, with a fantastic artist. Excellent-- thanks for sharing!
	Dan Ricketts/The Noisy Bear 3/19/2009	Song Of The Soul -Peter Phippen's Song of the Soul Peter's music is very emotive. He pours his life into his music and it shows. I have had the pleasure of knowing Peter for some time and following his career. The questions were insightful and well thought out. I enjoyed hearing Peter talk about his music again. It was a wonderful interview, insightful, informative, and entertaining. Kudos to both Mark and Peter it was a pleasure! Peter's music has had a positive affect on my life. Thanks Peter for putting it
	Melissa 3/19/2009	Song Of The Soul -Peter Phippen's Song of the Soul Enjoyed the intimacy of this interview....
	Anonymous 3/19/2009	Song Of The Soul -Peter Phippen's Song of the Soul Peter Phippen is genuine! Great show...really enjoyed listening to what Phippen had to say....great sounds, too! I'm buying his music! Would enjoy hearing more!
	Mark Halvorsen 3/19/2009	Essay & Thoughts -Observance of Dead and Injured in Iraq and Afghanistan Mark/Lou/Ann: Thanks so much for the idea and the professional job you did in reading the names of the 93 soldiers we've lost in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Listening to each of those names certainly gave all of our listeners a chance to pause and consider the toll of war. Again, it was a privilege to partner with each of you on this. Thanks for the excellent job you did! Your friend in Christ, Mark
	DEE DEBONTE 3/18/2009	Song Of The Soul -Peter Phippen's Song of the Soul THE MUSIC GOES RIGHT TO MY SOUL AND LEAVES ME SPELBOUND
	Jeff G. 3/18/2009	Song Of The Soul -Peter Phippen's Song of the Soul Excellent. Quality radio.. So many people miss so much by relying on TV for their entertainment.
	Jonas Gonstead 3/18/2009	Song Of The Soul -Peter Phippen's Song of the Soul I have known Peter since I was 15 years old growing up with his daughter and attending the same high school. Peter and the rest of his family have taken me into there family. He is my "adopted father" and he has taught me not to listen but to feel music. Thats what he gives to his listens or should I say feelers. He gives his soul, his mind, all his energy in what he preforms. He said in this interview that he does force the music and it cant be duplicated. He can play the same notes, the same melody, but its never the same because everytime he plays he give you something different. I have so many memories of Peter playing during famuly gatherings and its not a party without Peter giving us some music. If you haven't listened to Peter before you owe it to yourself, to your soul to listen and relax. To become one with yourself. You wont be disappointed. Much Love, Jonas Gonstead
	Anonymous 3/18/2009	Song Of The Soul -Peter Phippen's Song of the Soul Nice show! Enjoyed the musical selections...they were an excellent representation of Peter's spirit and musical abilities...and the questions regarding them were insightful and helped bring out the 'feelings' that quided the playing.
	Heid Henderson Smith 3/10/2009	Spirit In Action -Wix Covey - Northwoods Peace Fellowship & Wisconsin Network for Peace and Justice Hi Mr. Covey. I just wanted to say Hi. I was one of your Art Students from 1984- 1988 in Halfway Or. I loved your class and it really impacted my life in an awsome way. I hope everything is well with you and your family. You should join Face Book. There are tons of kids on there from Halfway and im sure they would love to touch base with you. Take care and God Bless. Heidi

	Zon Moy 2/26/2009	Spirit In Action -James Mulholland - Praying Like Jesus I found the show interesting but think that we need to dig much deeper. A few questions that need to be asked. Why is there an assumption that if god exists he must be good? What is the nature of good, is god the definition of good or is the definition of good something that goes far beyond whatever gods might exist.
	Anonymous 2/15/2009	Song Of The Soul -Todd Werner's Song of the Soul Content, depth, and music was great!
	Ramona Hussey 2/2/2009	Quaker Quotes -George Fox's Breakthrough This is the first I've heard, so can't rate anything. But I'm grateful for your doing this. I believe I got more out of hearing this quote than I ever did from reading it.
	kenn w 1/30/2009	Song Of The Soul -Wanaku's Song of the Soul Hi Mark, Here is a comment from one of my co-workers: "Wow. Great program!" That's good enough for me. Thanks much. ~kw
	Kay Hilgendorf 1/29/2009	Song Of The Soul -Dhaivyd Hilgendorf's Song of the Soul Loved it! Of course, as Dhaivyd's Mom, My opinion may be a bit biased. Also, I am delighted to have had this occasion to stumble onto your wonderful prograam. I hope to check it out on line again in the future!!! Thanks for inviting Dhaivyd to share a little of his music and his thoughts.
	Sara Bryan 1/13/2009	Spirit In Action -Savannah Rhae - Pancreatic Cancer Journey Thank you, Mark, for sharing Savannah's story.
	Lori Tuckey 1/11/2009	Spirit In Action -Savannah Rhae - Pancreatic Cancer Journey Savannah passed from this world this morning. I thank you for sharing this interview with us on her Caringbridge site. What a pleasure it is to hear her voice. I will listen again and again. What a great interview, with lots of insight. I will miss my friend but I can now find a little bit of her here. Thank you!
	Bobbi Jo Toy 1/11/2009	Mark, I personally want to thank you for sharing your fabulous skills and abilities with the community. Your passion and life's work blesses so many and truly is an exciting adventure for you and an educational treat for your listeners. Also, thank you for the opportunity to share Porter Place Ministries with your listening audience. Like Northern Spirit Radio, PPM is one of the best kept secrets in town and I think it is time to change that. Thanks for the opportunity to shout it out! Partnering with you to build a strong and peaceful world. Bobbi Jo Toy, Director of Porter Place Ministries and Idea Master for Wise Ideas by Toy, llc. 715.831.1633
	Anne Felton 1/10/2009	Spirit In Action -Porter Place Ministries - Bobbi Jo Toy Bobby Jo Toy is a refreshing voice for all women. I can't overstate her gifts of literacy, communication, and bringing women together. Thank you for empowering women by bringing them together in your unique manner, and providing life and job counseling. Also, thanks, Bobby Jo, for providing the Porter Place Building to be used for any type of gathering. The ambience of the space of your building, convenient and close to downtown, is incredible - full of solitude and serenity, despite the convenience of its location behind the downtown YMCA. Finally, as one may observe that several religious philosophies throughout our history have been used to suppress women, thank you for facilitating women working together, producing fruit, while accepting the diversity of their individual creeds, religion, or spiritual beliefs. Thanks, Bobby Jo A.Felton
	damian 1/9/2009	Song Of The Soul -Sara Hickman's Song of the Soul damn you helpsmeet ! here i am a comitted partner and you go and give occaision to fall in love with a married woman (<: Wow. What a heart mind,soul and musical talent ! i plan on sharing this link with Lee Anna and Rick - I think two kindred spirits of Sarah's.... but who isn't. Well, back to the dishes with Sara.....sigh damian
	Mary Shapiro 1/4/2009	Spirit In Action -Jim Scott - A Song for the Earth, A Prayer for Peace I really enjoyed hearing Jim's personal and pertinent stories...especially about the power of music and war and peace in the vietnam era. Well done Mark!
	Mary Shapiro 1/4/2009	Song Of The Soul -Julie Schmitt's Song of the Soul This is a very interesting interview: Julie sounds very grounded in spite of (because of?) the wide variety of music that moves her and spiritual backgrounds. Although Julie said she was nervous, she didn't sound like it: Mark was especially skillful in his questions and ability to edit and flow in and out of the songs. 4 stars :) PS: Although this interview is from 06, I just heard it and just met Julie (briefly) this summer. I and my friends in and around Washington DC are grateful to Julie for introducing me to Mark and northern spirit radio!
	College Memory 12/30/2008	Song Of The Soul -Ellen Bloom Ninneman's Song of the Soul It was very interesting listening to Ellen describe her life struggles and her eventual spirituality that has transformed her into the wonderful person she is today. I met Ellen many, many years ago while attending college and had no idea the struggles she was going through with her religious upbringing and the guilt that came about because of it. I can tell you she had a definite impact on my life and I am a better person today for having known her. Hearing now what she had to go through and how she has survived and become an even stronger person doesn't surprise me one bit. I apologize if I in any way contributed to her struggles as I had no idea what she was going through - she hid it very well. While I only knew her for a short period of time, I am grateful that our paths crossed. The little time I was able to spend with her helped me to fight my own "demons" at the time as well. I wish only the best for her! Her positive beams of light were shining bright even in her worst times. Thanks for sharing your thoughts during this program.
	yata 12/5/2008	Song Of The Soul -Yata's Song of the Soul Dear Mark, I just listened to our interview for the first time. It was wonderful talking with you and searching the soul ... using the gifts of music and friendship. I will tell others about your program. Thank you for sharing your talents. Peace and Music, Yata
	Barbara Arnold 12/4/2008	Spirit In Action -Judith Levine - Not Buying It: My Year Without Shopping I chose to listen to Judith Levine's Not Buying It: My Year Without Shopping in my goal to simplify my life. I learned a lot from Mark's interview with Judith, and while I still don't know if I could do what she did, I know I did enjoy hearing another perspective on consumerism.
	Richard 11/12/2008	Song Of The Soul -Julie (Hecksel) Patchouli's Song of the Soul This story is told honestly – that, I think adds to the appeal of the 7 wonderfully crafted songs Julie shares with us. I got tripped up a bit when she talked about the origins of ‘The Day We Let Go’ and ‘Labyrinth’ – it’s hard to imagine that such a positive sprit as Julie’s could, or would every have to suffer. But realistically, I think the experiences she speaks of where necessary in order for her to create songs of this depth. It may have been her way of distancing herself from her troubles and losses. In a sense, I see her some of her songs as prayers. In particular, her writing ‘Labyrinth’ during that particularly difficult period of time she speaks of seems to have brought her closer to those she lost – much like prayers do for me.
	Bill Hortenbach 10/21/2008	Song Of The Soul -Julie (Hecksel) Patchouli's Song of the Soul Terrific Interview. The story behind each song is a big part of the experience when you attend a Patchouli show. Julie and Bruce are two of the most positive and friendly people I have ever met.FRC
	Ester Gallero 10/18/2008	Song Of The Soul -Regina Gallero's Song of the Soul MARAVILLOSO ESCUCHAR UN TESTIMONIO TAN BELLO,VALIENTE Y SINCERO, PARA APRENDER Y REFLEXIONAR.TE QUIERO, HERMANITA.
	Loribeth 10/16/2008	Song Of The Soul -Julie (Hecksel) Patchouli's Song of the Soul What an amazing, positive person. Their music is truely from their hearts. You can't help but smile.
	Dale Draeger 10/13/2008	Song Of The Soul -Julie Rust's Song of the Soul What a beautiful voice! I appreciate your honesty about your story. Its wonderful to hear you talk about Meher Baba. Beloved One. Jai Baba, Dale
	Julie Rust 10/5/2008	Song Of The Soul -Julie Rust's Song of the Soul Thank you Mark for putting together Song of the Soul. What a beautiful project. It was an honor meeting you and doing the interview. I had a wonderful time. I hope more people learn about your show. It's uplifting to share our stories with one another. Keep up the great work!
	Donna Roost 10/3/2008	Song Of The Soul -Dhaivyd Hilgendorf's Song of the Soul Mark, you have a gift for segwaying into topics and neatly tying them all together. The interview was interesting and spiritfilled. It was a joy to get a glimpse into Dhaivyd's life and to experience the overlap of his ideals and values which clearly merge into his musical life. Thanks!
	Dhaivyd Hilgendorf 9/30/2008	Song Of The Soul -Dhaivyd Hilgendorf's Song of the Soul Mark- Somehow, you managed to make me sound articulate and interesting. You've really got the knack of this ability to bring out the Spirit in others. Thank you for giving that gift to the world. Namaste, -Dhaivyd
	captcrisis 9/25/2008	Spirit In Action -J.E. McNeil/Center on Conscience & War Very good interview and thanks. I posted the link to it in comments to one of The American Prospect blog’s (TAPPED) typically sneering posts about pro-lifers. Won’t change any minds there probably, but at least they know about it.
	Julie Patchouli 9/4/2008	Song Of The Soul -Jon Watt's Song of the Soul i enjoyed john Watts show we have played at Guilford a few times we always enjoyed that campus it was so much fun to play there. I enjoy the"city" song exhale love - yes indeed
	Anonymous 9/3/2008	Song Of The Soul -Julie Rust's Song of the Soul What a great interview! Julie Rust is amazing.
	Anonymous 8/1/2008	Spirit In Action -Toward Taking Away the Occasion of Abortion - Rachel MacNair & Stan Becker Dear Friends, No where in this interview did anyone mention Spirit, and how a woman is led to make her decision. As Quakers, we should be concerned that women are free and able to follow their spiritual leading about their conception/pregnancy.
	Lou Recine 7/22/2008	I think your 7/20/08 interview of Steve Chase is very beautiful. In the midst of my current work with a group of folks planning a peace event, the Steve Chase's thoughts are stimulating, refreshing, and inspiring! Thank you for doing this interview!
	Sandy 7/8/2008	Song Of The Soul -Dennis Warner's Song of the Soul Warner's lyrics present story with depth and feeling. His voice adds to the enjoyment of listening; whether in song or story-telling. He will be in Eau Claire, WI on January 24, 2009,7pm at Unity Christ Center.
	Hilary Miller 6/30/2008	Spirit In Action -Toward Taking Away the Occasion of Abortion - Rachel MacNair & Stan Becker Thank you so much for this considerate, thoughtful and thought-provoking conversation on a highly emotional subject. I hope we will begin to see more and more of this sensitivity and intelligence in the abortion debate, as there is healing needed here.
	Mary Krane Derr 6/27/2008	Spirit In Action -Toward Taking Away the Occasion of Abortion - Rachel MacNair & Stan Becker I commend everyone involved in this conversation for their civility, honest recognition of differences, and identification of common-ground solutions to abortion. And I invite anyone, prolife or prochoice, who is serious about reducing abortion, to visit the Nonviolent Choice Directory, www.nonviolentchoice.info This is a global directory of abortion-reducing resources. There is a regularly updated list of simple-to-take action alerts on our blog at www.nonviolentchoice.blogspot.com Nonviolent Choice takes a prolife feminist approach, but we welcome visitors and participants of any vantage point. Thank you.
	Kristen Hannum 6/24/2008	Dear Mark, Thank you so much for the information. I just bought the song, and it's the one (I think) from "The Essential Cris Williamson." A dear friend of my son's - a girl who lived with us for a while, and who is a sparkling and loving presence in the world - just lost her mother, and they used the song with a montage of photos. http://blip.tv/file/1005286 I'd never heard the song; it's lovely. You did well to use its name for your show. I subscribed to your show through it, and enjoyed listening. Be well, Kristen
	Kristen Hannum 6/24/2008	Hi Mark, Could you tell me which cd has the version of Cris Williamson's "Song of the Soul," with the lovely choir singing the chorus? Thanks, Kristen
	Bill Samuel 6/23/2008	Spirit In Action -Toward Taking Away the Occasion of Abortion - Rachel MacNair & Stan Becker Thanks for doing this show, and handling it so well. We do need to really be able to hear considered views. The issue is very important.
	Dennis Warner 6/23/2008	Thanks, Mark for the interview. I very much enjoyed being on "Song of the Soul" and appreciated your well thought out questions. Great show!

	Anonymous 5/7/2008	Song Of The Soul -Helene Pollock's Song of the Soul As a Haverford student I enjoyed listening to Helene on this program- she was wonderful as she is always- I was moved.
	Susan 5/6/2008	I found your podcasts looking for other podcasts after much enjoying Speaking of Faith for the last month or so. I have already recommended you to friends - including Delle McCormick, current exec. director of Borderlinks. We have quite a few activist communities here in Tucson - some faith-based. The Sanctuary Movement started here in 1983 with John Fife (Presbyterian), Ricardo Elford (Catholic) and Jim Corbett (Quaker). I got into it in the later years after the 1986 trial until 1992 - when the peace accords were signed. And at sometime you would want to talk to Rick Ufford-Chase - sanctuary volunteer, founder of Borderlinks, youngest ever Moderator of the Presbyterian USA General Assembly, director of Pres. Peace Fellowship is leaving Tucson with his Quaker wife Kitty to go to Stony Point Center. You can read about it: http://www.stonypointcenter.org/ He wants to start an ecumenical peace order - had a general meeting to talk about it last week. I am enjoying the older episodes of both podcasts. Keep up the good work!
	Crispin Pierce 3/28/2008	Song Of The Soul -Chris Pfeiffer's Song of the Soul Beautiful music highlighting a love of God in nature!
	Robert Park 3/27/2008	Spirit In Action -Holly Near - Singer & Activist Great show. I look forward to arranging a rebroadcast of it on WIDE-LP in Madison.
	Jeffry B. Weidner 3/13/2008	Song Of The Soul -Walter Craft's Song of the Soul Well, it's the best Song Of The Soul I've heard anyway, being the first and only. I Googled "Walter Craft" and your URL was second on the list. Congratulations. Thanks for a well-produced, interesting program. I'll find Walter now, one way or another. Peace On Earth ~ JBW
	Eduardo Pliego 2/2/2008	Song Of The Soul -Ellen Bloom Ninneman's Song of the Soul Hi ... Im from Monterrey Mexico and I want to now if MISS Ellen Ninneman is the same person that was met a long time ago in Tecnologico from Monterrey, because if is true im glad to chat with her. Please ask her and my email is eduardopligo59@hotmail.com . Thanks
	SeeQ Radio 1/30/2008	Song Of The Soul -Scott Beck's Song of the Soul It's nice to go deep with the Artist's. This is a nice addition to New Thought information on the internet.Scott, you bring a true and honest gift to New Thought Music. Thank you for being you and Thank you for your gift of music Namaste
	Scott Beck 1/30/2008	Song Of The Soul -Scott Beck's Song of the Soul Mark ~ This is the best interview anyone has done with me. From the thoughtful questions to the way the songs are worked into the commentary, to the whole flow of the session, I felt relaxed and at ease, and when listening it felt like two old friends catching up after years of not being in touch. Thank you for doing what you do to shine more light into this world. I look forward to listening to some of the other interviews in your archives.
	David Huber 1/24/2008	Song Of The Soul -Cyndi Bradbury's Song of the Soul As expected, well thought and inspirational. And very Cyndi, in terms of music. Yay!
	David Huber 1/24/2008	Song Of The Soul -David Huber's Song of the Soul I'm amazed at how well Mark can take 2 or 3 hours of somewhat unfocused rambling and edit it down into something that makes me seem incredibly eloquent and organized of thought. Thanks, Mark!
	John Hackman 1/14/2008	Spirit In Action -Judith Levine - Not Buying It: My Year Without Shopping Judith was intelligently brilliant in her presentation and in her interview with you. I tried to detect something about faith and knowing in the Spirit, and she did mention breath and breathing. And if we manipulate language there it is. But she did have a very upside and "spiritual" impact on others-on me! Speaking of Spirit I hope after 5-6 months you will have Ruah Svennerfeld and Louis Cox on your program to be interviewed by you when they return from their 1400 mile walk from Vancover to San Diego visiting Friends Meetings in the genre of John Woolman. I am "walking" with them through travelpod.com/z/peaceforearth/ peace-for-earth/1197176160.Anyone can. In the Light, John
	Scott Dizack 1/13/2008	Song Of The Soul -Peter Alsop's Song of the Soul, PART TWO Mark it was nice to read your news letter and listen to you and Peter Alsop immediately after vis via the www! As much as technology has divided us I do believe it brings us together spiritually with greater ease and the ability to cut through the chaffe. My five year old child came into the room while peace chickens were a cluckin and let out a burst of laughter at the same time understanding the message! Thank you both for inspiring him. Thank you both for renewing my spirit and hope in mankind that we do indeed some day park the evil tools we do posess and make it a better world for our children to live in. There are to many distractions that can lead us from that path of light and levity. I welcome those gifts along the way that keep us from falling off the edge. Keep your "spirit alive and strong my friend" the world needs you more than ever! -Blessing, Scott-
	Pat Washburn 1/7/2008	Mark, I looked you up on the web, and was wondering how it was going with editing my interview?
	A friend of Nora's 1/6/2008	Song Of The Soul -Nora Bates' Song of the Soul I learned a lot about Nora I did not know before. Often while listening to the program I found myself crying, because I too have anger I often don't know what to do with, struggle with my belief/faith in God and the different churches' teachings, was married and am divorced, and am struggling to become a better person. Some days I feel like it's almost too long and too hard of a battle that I don't have the energy to fight and some days I'm much more enthusiastic and willing to do what I have to reach my goal of being a happier, more loving, kind, patient person. Today is a day I'm lonely and depressed (yes, I too have a so-called Mental Illness) and have little motivation to do much and don't feel very optimistic, but I have some hope I didn't have before and know "This Too Shall Pass" and like Nora feel there is some reason I'm where I am now and going through what I'm going through to reach a better place someday. I just wish it didn't take quite so long and was a little easier. I didn't rate this show, because I've never listened to any other ones, but it meant a lot to me personally and has caused me to really think a lot about what was said and the songs' messages. At first I thought I didn't want to take the time to listen to the whole thing, but knew I would talk that long to Nora on the phone or in person, if she was able to, about my difficulties, thoughts, wishes, hopes, dreams and want to know how she "understands" so much of me so well. I really do want to be a better person, but wonder how long it's going to take. The physical energy and endurance is not there today. I don't know what to do or who to call to help me today.
	Ellie Langenhorst 1/6/2008	Song Of The Soul -Ellen Bloom Ninneman's Song of the Soul I have known Ellen for 40 years. I am the other half of "The Singing Sisters" that she mentioned. I was truly touched, inspired, and overwhelmed by her openness to talk about her spirituality. I too was raised WELS like Ellen, in fact, in the same church and in the same small town, Ripon, WI. I can relate to Ellen's struggle to free herself from the constraints that WELS has put on her life. I have shared many experiences with Ellen in our 40 years but feel that I have really come to know who she is today by listening to her on Song Of The Soul. My struggle has been ongoing due to the fact that I have two children and a husband whom I wanted to at least experience the basis of my belief...that being their is one God and that Jesus Chris IS our Saviour. I do not believe in many other aspects of WELS and that is where my struggle and guilt come from. It is hard to break away from something you lived your whole life believing is right. I admire Ellen, and Bob, for their spirituality and the journey they have taken to reach the point of being content with who they are and what they believe. When I visit them in Eau Claire, I come away feeling at peace...if only for a short time. Ellen, you have given me new inspiration. It is time for me to break away from a religion that does not fit with who I truly am and what I was intended to be. For that, my dear friend, I love you. Thank you for sharing your spirituality with me and the others out there who may be struggling.
	Beth Olson 12/14/2007	Song Of The Soul -Sara Thomsen's Song of the Soul I love Sara's voice and music. it speaks to my soul. Her song Holy Angels helped to heal me when i was very ill and with high fever. I put it on repeat and listened over and over. Thank you for helping to share her spirit with the world. When will this show be broadcasted in the Superior, WI, area and on what radio dial? thank you and blessings to you. Beth
	Breeze Bryson 12/10/2007	Song Of The Soul -Carlton Schreiner's Song of the Soul First, I want to compliment you on the format of you program, "Song of the Soul." Dividing the time between songs and commentary between you and your guest is both interesting and entertaining. A song may have universal meaning to the listeners, which is why we want to hear it again and again. Knowing the story behind the composing of the lyrics adds new interpretations and appreciation. Getting to meet the songwriter, the producer, the singer, the arranger, and the instrumentalist, as in the case of Carlton Schreiner, is a rare privilege. His CD "Love is the Cure" can be a cure for many ills in this world. For me, the calming influence of his special arrangement of "Amazing Grace" has slowed down the pulse of my rapid and irregular heartbeat. The energizing rhythms of other songs makes me want to sing a long or to dance, while bringing a message of hope, love, joy, and peace.. Thank you for bring this king of programming to the airwaves and the Internet.
	damian 12/7/2007	Song Of The Soul -Ellen Bloom Ninneman's Song of the Soul great show ellen and mark ! Also thanks so much for the context and music introductions to Alannis and colors of the wind ! damian
	Ed Gunsalus 11/27/2007	Song Of The Soul -Sara Hickman's Song of the Soul Wonderful interview, Sara is so inspirational.
	Bobbi Jo Toy 11/25/2007	Mark; it is always a pleasure to listen to your programs; thank you for sharing your spirit. Peace,
	Emily Bradley 11/24/2007	Song Of The Soul -Annabella Wood's Song of the Soul As always, Annabella Wood is at Her Best! What a beautiful, touching song.. what an original talent, Anabella.
	Anonymous 11/21/2007	Spirit In Action -Judy Hyde - Free The Slaves So glad that you decided to do a show on the topic of slavery. The music is really cool.
	Katharina 11/17/2007	Song Of The Soul -Carlton Schreiner's Song of the Soul 'The world as a whole has forgotten the real meaning of the word "love". Love has been so abused and crucified by man that very few people know what true love is. Just as oil is present in every part of the olive, so love permeates every part of creation. But to define love is very difficult, for the same reason that words cannot fully describe the flavor of an orange. You have to taste the fruit to know its flavor. So with love. All of you have tasted love in some form in your hearts; therefore you know a little about what it is. But you have not understood how to develop love, how to purify and expand it into divine love. A spark of this divine love exists in most hearts in the beginning of life, but is usually lost, because man does not know how to cultivate it.' (Paramahansa Yogananda, 1943, from The Divine Romance) Lots of joy on the way – back home – to the Divine!
	Elizabeth Gordon 11/16/2007	Spirit In Action -Frances Ford & The War Plays Project I'm listening right now and enjoying the description of how the play about Rachel Cory came to be--the inspiration behind it and also the process. Get the story out, yes! I have wanted to hear more about that. The War Plays Project is well worth hearing about! thanks!
	Suresh Anand 11/16/2007	Song Of The Soul -Carlton Schreiner's Song of the Soul It is a wonderful CD.....fills you with Love for God and Mankind. am eagerly looking forward to Carlton Schreiner's next music CD. I hope to work with him in his "Ashram" some day. Carlton is truly a Divine soul!
	Gabe 11/15/2007	Song Of The Soul -Carlton Schreiner's Song of the Soul That was a great show! Thanks Carlton Schreiner for your stirring spiritual music! I bought your cd and look forward to more in the future.
	Liz Opp in Minnesota 11/15/2007	Spirit In Action -Frances Ford & The War Plays Project Hey, Mark. Thanks for this interview. Fran makes so many interesting comments about her own experience and what she has been uncovering in her work with the War Plays Project. I also really like the songs you've inserted. Nice job. Blessings, Liz Opp, The Good Raised Up

The new arrangement for Prisioer was Right On. Best wishes on your journey... I will hold you in a healing light... God Bless!
	Lynn Blue 11/5/2007	Song Of The Soul -Annabella Wood's Song of the Soul Annabella; It was no coincidence that I could not get through the other night. I needed it tonight. The interview was so honest, uplighting and spiritual.... so you... and so needed by me tonight. Thanks Mark for the interview. Annbella I am so proud to say I know you. Love your style. happy to hear that you are recuperating well....All the best and much love.

	Bobbi Jo Toy 11/4/2007	Keep up the good work! BJ
	Melinda Bergen 11/1/2007	Song Of The Soul -Annabella Wood's Song of the Soul This program is so rich. The host asked great questions of Annabella, and Annabella answered from a deep place of spirit, of connection with herself and of life. The music you featured fit the interview beautifully. I am honored to know Annabella.
	Joni Carley 10/31/2007	Song Of The Soul -Annabella Wood's Song of the Soul Annabella is awesome!

	Annabella Wood 10/29/2007	Essay & Thoughts -What God Has Joined - One Man, One Woman? This was very good, Mark. I liked what you had to say, particularly in bringing up the point about those who marry without intention of procreating. I had not thought of that. Well thought out, and well spoken. Annabella
	Kaohsiung85 10/15/2007	Song Of The Soul -Helene Pollock's Song of the Soul Song of The Soul
	Serena 10/11/2007	Song Of The Soul -Mark Morgan's Song of the Soul It is so rich and heartwarming to hear a man speak so eloquently and lovingly of his journey to depths and heights of soul, of how he nurtures the souls of his own children, and especially to know that the sons of our time are being raised to look deeper for what is truly important and most real. Mark's choice of music also paints a richly textured picure of a life honoring authentic soul in self and others. Thanks, Mark, for sharing an intriguing glimpse of your life, both movingly reverent and delightfully irreverent, along your way! Suggestion: Have Mark back for Father's Day.
	Pamela Moran 10/1/2007	Song Of The Soul -Dana Tock's Song of the Soul Dana's music and voice are so inspirational---thankyou for the wonderful program.
	Angey Brandau 10/1/2007	Song Of The Soul -Dana Tock's Song of the Soul Mark, I have known Dana since I was 15, and now over six years later she is releasing her new cd. I am very excited for her. I have been blessed to know Dana and have her in my life. Throughout my years at our church she has been a wonderful inspiration and a great role model. I have wonderful memories of listening to Dana in her various bands and at church, and I am looking forward to seeing her release her new cd. I am very blessed that God placed Dana in my life and I am very proud of her for following her dreams. Thank you for the wonderful interview and helping Dana on her beautiful journey. Angey Brandau
	Al and Sandy Jackson 9/30/2007	Song Of The Soul -Dana Tock's Song of the Soul Mark Al is Dana`s Dad and I am her Step Mom and we really enjoy your interview with Dana. We were excite to hear that we could listen to it on line. We been waiting for her new CD coming out. Even though we been hearing the songs she been coming out with we both have are favorite, but we enjoy them all. I am glad you got to interview her on your show. We will keep on listening to radio on line. Keep up the good job with every singer that comes along your way. Dana does have really lovely voice to listen to. Again Thank you for spreading the good news like in Danas song We sincerly wish the messages in her music will touch people heart and draw them near to the lord. Al and Sandy Jackson
	Claire Fawcett 9/30/2007	Song Of The Soul -Helene Pollock's Song of the Soul This was a very interesting program. I enjoyed the variety of songs that gave me a variety of feelings. It was especially good for me to hear popular songs such as "Fake Plastic Trees" analyzed in a spiritual sense.
	Anonymous 9/27/2007	Song Of The Soul -Helene Pollock's Song of the Soul This was a wonderful show!!!! Thank you Helene for sharing yourself, your spiritual journey, and the songs that touch your soul...I found it all very inspiring. I also appreciate the way the moderator handled the program ... moderating the flow without overpowering the guest or the music.
	Jen Karsten 9/25/2007	Song Of The Soul -Helene Pollock's Song of the Soul Helene said something like "if someone could listen to my music, then they might really know me". This idea spoke to me -- so many times we gravitate towards songs because they speak our feelings for us (at least I do) yet I'd never heard that truth expressed like that before. I'd never heard of John Michael Talbot; I'm glad for the mix of performers she wove into this interview. Thank you to Helene and to Northern Spirit for this piece.
	Mari 9/24/2007	Song Of The Soul -Helene Pollock's Song of the Soul Thank you so much for doing this. It was really helpful to listen to this show and the wonderful conversation between you and Helene. Seeing music as it effects personal narratives is incredibly meaningful and I am grateful for Helene sharing that experience so openly. I could feel there was a lot of deep emotional significance for the music she chose to share.
	Annabella Wood 9/23/2007	Song Of The Soul -Helene Pollock's Song of the Soul This is really nice. I love the show, and I love what you are doing with it. I think Helene has something to offer all of us in her loving way. Thank you for sharing her with us. I will be listening more in the future.
	Elizabeth Gordon 9/21/2007	Song Of The Soul -Anna Fritz's Song of the Soul I'm not sure I can say "best," since this is the first I've listened to. That said, the blend of music and discussion, the movement of the questions and depth of the answers, makes it an interesting and engaging show. thanks!
	Marney Dewey Billings 9/20/2007	Song Of The Soul -Katherine Kocs' Song of the Soul Kathi's sensitivity comes through on her selection of songs. They sing of caring, political activism, and heart. From Scottish fiddlers singing the Road of Tears to the Greatful Dead, this is inclusive and thoughtful music. What a journey. Lovely to hear Kathi's voice as well as the music. She is a wonderful spirit facing a dangerous time. Her soul and spirit comes through...she will face the lions and anything up ahead with grace. Hugs and God be with You, Marney
	Anonymous 9/12/2007	Song Of The Soul -Helene Pollock's Song of the Soul Helene's insight is outstanding, and she goes from herself and beyond herself in a beautiful way. The show had a wonderful shape and flow. The moderator is very skillful and does not overpower the guest. I especially was touched by the Promise of St. Francis, but everything was first rate.
	Alex Morisey 9/12/2007	Song Of The Soul -Helene Pollock's Song of the Soul I thoroughly enjoyed the music as well as the comments. I know Helene and she is a deeply spiritual person. It was wonderful to share her music. The format was excellent and I can see the program as a powerful spiritual tool.
	Cindy Maier 9/12/2007	Song Of The Soul -Helene Pollock's Song of the Soul This was a wonderful show with Helene, and I really enjoyed her commentary accompanied by the music. I, too, am a product of the '60s college scene and the struggles of that era!
	Anonymous 9/12/2007	Song Of The Soul -Helene Pollock's Song of the Soul great show. thanks
	Mary Anne Crowley 9/11/2007	Song Of The Soul -Helene Pollock's Song of the Soul Listening to Helene's sharing of her soul and the music that inspires her was a most uplifting experience. What touched me the most was her vulnerability and her willingness to share so deeply about her connection to God through music. I resonnated with that level of spirituality, being a liturgical musician with Medical Mission Sisters in Philadelphia, PA. Music sustains me on many different levels. Helene's spiritual journey is one that obviously is done with great care and loving. Thank you, Helene, for sharing yourself with us so fully! Thank you, Mark, for a wonderful program and I wish you all the luck in the future. Peace, Mary Anne
	Amy Kelly 9/11/2007	Song Of The Soul -Helene Pollock's Song of the Soul The music really helps to illustrate Helene's wonderful spiritual growth and exploration. It is a great way to share things that can be hard to articulate in conversation. It's like being invited inside of her meditations; that is a valuable gift. Thank you for sharing Helene and her knowledge and her journey with the wider world of seekers.
	Tony Manasseh 9/11/2007	Song Of The Soul -Helene Pollock's Song of the Soul Dear Mark, Just to say how I enjoyed listening to this program which I thought was “Music from the soul to the soul and talk from the deep mind to the mind”. I would also like to thank you for giving me the opportunity to know my friend Helene Pollock better and appreciate her keen understanding of the human mind through music of the heart. The songs were inspiring particularly ‘Cave of the Heart’ by John Michael Talbot and “Anointed” by Kathy Sherman. These 2 songs brought memories of my soul searching periods and set in me a wave of spiritual exuberance. I will refer to them in my lonesome search for peace and love in a world of much needed understanding and truth. As a Quaker from Lebanon having fled with my family the atrocities of the war of summer 2006 to the peace and compassion of Haverford College, Helene Pollock was a steady support for us in a period of anxiety and adaptation. I thank you dear Mark for giving me the opportunity to know Helene better and know where she is coming form. Please excuse my subjective comment. I wish you and your program continued progress in outreach and the spread of deep contentment of the soul. In Friendship Tony Manasseh
	Anthony Manousos 9/10/2007	Song Of The Soul -Helene Pollock's Song of the Soul My dear friend Helene Pollock emailed me about your show and since she is someone whom I regard as a spiritual friend, I listened. What an amazing and moving experience! What a wonderful gift you have for bringing out a person's hidden depths through music! I have known and admired and loved Helene for years and had many deep and soulful conversations with her but I had no idea of this side of her personality and spirit. What a wonderful revelation! I was so impressed by the idea of your show that I invited my wife (who is a Methodist pastor) to listen in and suggested that this might be a meaningful and moving way to organize a worship sharing experience for music lovers. I think that Quakers might find this format to be spiritually enriching and will certainly recommend your show to Friends. Yours in peace and friendship, Anthony Manousos, Editor of Friends Bulletin
	Roy Gathercoal 9/10/2007	Song Of The Soul -Helene Pollock's Song of the Soul What an amazing testimony! The songs truly did serve as commentary on the words. And Helene, while Mark did do an exceptional job of taking the pieces to create a wonderfully unified whole, you were the source of those pieces. Thank you for a deeply rewarding experience, one which transcended the usual quotation bits. Thank you for sharing this aspect of your life. It is obviously a well considered, intentional walk. An inspiration.
	Helene Pollock 9/9/2007	Song Of The Soul -Jon Watt's Song of the Soul I was captivated by Jon's journey. He has a *presence* that really connects. What a deep and powerful person -- so *real*! I feel like I know him. It's great to meet new friends through music and a common spiritual connection.
	Helene Pollock 9/9/2007	Song Of The Soul -Helene Pollock's Song of the Soul Mark deserves a lot of credit for an excellent interview. He managed to make the various points hang together, and he especially highlighted *the music*, and that's what it's all about -- our experience of Divine Love, through music. Thank you Mark!
	Anonymous 9/9/2007	Song Of The Soul -Helene Pollock's Song of the Soul This was really a great show. It covered a wide range of perspectives in the music and the life of the interviewee, yet hung together extremely well. This was well worth listening to.
	Crispin Pierce 8/29/2007	Spirit In Action -Spirit Afoot at the MREA's Energy & Sustainable Living Fair 2007 - Part 1 I really liked the variety of interviews (and music) that was included in this show. I was personally moved by the interviews with the bright and caring 14 year-old Lillian and her peace-committed father. Although I know it would be more work for you, Mark, it would be totally cool to have links from the segment text descriptions to that portion of the audio stream.
	Peggy O'Neil 8/18/2007	Song Of The Soul -Jon Watt's Song of the Soul Thank you so much for the CD's and especially for featuring Jonathon on your radio show. It is such a blessing to have this record of his spiritual/musical journey. The show was wonderful, and it was a treat to be there at the recording. Please keep up this important work! Blessings!
	Frances 8/14/2007	Song Of The Soul -Katherine Kocs' Song of the Soul Kathi- Your "Song of the Soul" was beautiful! I want to thank you for sharing it and thank Northern Spirit Radio for broadcasting it. Web and I listened to it and we both learned something about you that we had not known before. You are an incredible person - so intelligent, thoughtful, and generous. I am proud to be your sister! I love you.
	Anonymous 8/11/2007	Song Of The Soul -Katherine Kocs' Song of the Soul Great
	Mary Bliss 8/11/2007	Song Of The Soul -Katherine Kocs' Song of the Soul I have just finished listening to your program in its entirety. Kathi, thank you so much for your gift to our family as well as to the world. The music was wonderful, with artists Fred and I have never heard. Your words were enlightening and gave me a much better sense of you and your soul. You have always been an inspiration to me with your accomplishments throughout your life and times of difficulties. Your sons and the entire family are so much richer for having you as part of our lives, Peace and love, Mary Bliss
	Chuck Pfeiffer 8/11/2007	Song Of The Soul -Katherine Kocs' Song of the Soul Kathi, I'm listening to Song of the Soul interview. It is really moving. Thank you for sending it. I forwarded it on to Sister Sue, and Brother Jim who are both praying for you. Blessings and love my friend. Chuck Pfeiffer
	John Hackman 8/3/2007	Song Of The Soul -Jon Watt's Song of the Soul I listened to Mark's interview with Jon today. I don't know how I missed Jon at the Gathering 2007. What a spirit led and directed young man! His openness is astounding. What an example for young Quaker Friends. His hip-hop and Indie Rock is unobtrusive background music to the verbal messages. So much popular music emphasizes the music and the words are incidental and hard to hear. Jon has a depth and a breadth. He draws from images from his own life experiences with others, from his memories or from reading history and brings them to life, capturing the evolutionary nature and testimonies of early Quakerism with an active and alive imagination, bringing history to life. The song about his relationship with Tom Fox, a recent martyr to the War in Iraq, as a member of a Christian Peacemaker Team really immortalized Tom for me. I really did need to hear the CD, Mark as the wailing in the background brought a realism to the horror and grief of Tom's death. It brought chills to my body. I could really hear that the god in Tom is the god in Jon as his song created that oneness. It was a sensitively done interview as are all of Marks interviews on Northern Spirit Radio.
	Steve 7/30/2007	Spirit In Action -Marcus Borg, Author of Meeting Jesus Again For the First Time Great show. I'm thinking about playing the show regularly on my community radio station. My only suggestion is finding a new theme song. It felt smaltzy and cheesing rather than dynamic, activist, and engaging. There are great religious songs. I would encourage you to seek them out and choose a better song--perhaps something like Sweet Honey in the Rock, but there are many other options.
	Anonymous 7/24/2007	Spirit In Action -Marcus Borg, Author of Meeting Jesus Again For the First Time While I found Mr. Borg to be articulate and eloquent in his analysis of biblical elements, I missed the connections to everyday life (and the values I hold dear) that I have heard on other Spirit in Action programs.
	Crispin Pierce 7/20/2007	Spirit In Action -Peterson Toscano - Ex-gay Survivor What a refreshing and thoughtful perspective on one person's struggle and success to define his sexuality and spirituality! Technical notes: Mark's introductory comments about the purpose of the show seemed a bit wooden. There was also a real difference in the clarity through the guest's microphone (very clear) and Mark's microphone (kind of fuzzy). I would enjoy future programs that illustrate how others have found spiritual guidance through issues that are often rigidly defined by religious dogma, e.g., Catholicism and contraception, the religious right and war, Buddhism and political activity.
	Amy Chabot 6/26/2007	Song Of The Soul -Amy Chabot's Song of the Soul Thank you, Mark, for making my first time on radio such a wonderful experience! It was an honor to share my spiritual journey with your listeners, and I look forward to listening to your future broadcasts. Every Blessing, Amy Chabot
	Sandra McKinney 6/24/2007	Song Of The Soul -David Howard's Song of the Soul Awesome! David lives up to the title of his latest CD "Spark". We look forward to having him at Unity on September 9th, 2007, at our 10am Service and afternoon Concert starting at 12:30pm.
	Cyndi 6/22/2007	Song Of The Soul -David Huber's Song of the Soul As always, David's choice of music is eclectic and wonderful.
	Sara Hickman 6/17/2007	Song Of The Soul -David Howard's Song of the Soul I really enjoyed listening to David talk about his journey, hearing his music, including my song, "Comfort's Sigh"....Yes! This was a heartwarming show. Your two voices were very calming, serene. It is a blessing you have this show! Thank you for having David on because he is an insightful, and wondrous, light in this world. I am so glad to know him. And your sharing him with others is fantastic... Keep spreading the word of others on their faith journeys. I would love to do your show someday, if you'd ever like to have a Christian musician/mom/humanitarian who is enjoying her journey, enjoying the criss-cross of meeting others, and eager to talk about God, and all the aspects and unknown and joys and fears of living on a spirit based path. God bless you! Gratefully, Sara
	Julie Schmitt 6/16/2007	Thank You Mark for sharing your gifts in an inspiring way with sincerity, depth, and authenticity. Each program I am gifted to hear is a valued experience of gentleness, strength and joy. You inspire your listeners and guests to further explore the wonders in our hearts and lives. To stretch, receive, love and grow in our ways of living. And thank you to the past, present, and future guests as they share their authentic selves.
	Lyn Cope 5/21/2007	Song Of The Soul -Catherine Price's Song of the Soul What interesting dimensions you provide listeners! I thoroughly enjoyed your interview with Catherine Price, FL. I love her music and spirit and scope of her oversight. Thanks for interviewing her. I am hopeful that in due time, she does cut a CD—I'll stand in line to buy it!
	Robert Rackelman 5/21/2007	Song Of The Soul -Catherine Price's Song of the Soul I have known Catherine for a few years and have always enjoyed her music. Thank you for including her in your program. She is a genuine and wonderful individual and this is reflected in the music she does.
	Pam and Larry Tilley 5/21/2007	Song Of The Soul -Catherine Price's Song of the Soul What a treat...great music and a genuine interview of our friend, Catherine--personal and Quaker. This was a wonderful opportunity to experience the fruits of your practice, both spiritually and musically. We truly enjoyed listening to your favorite artists and especially the songs you wrote and sang so beautifully. We are proud of your accomplishments and so very happy for you. We love you, Catherine. Super job--an A+ from your teacher friends!
	Colleen Lowery 5/21/2007	Song Of The Soul -Catherine Price's Song of the Soul I thought the music and commentary blended so well to define the spirit and soul of Catherine. David and Catherine are my neighbors and I am so fortunate to be able to converse with them often. Catherine even helped me through the rough trials of setting up a computer and it was great to be able to hear this E-mail.
	Melissa Price 5/13/2007	Spirit In Action -Ina May Gaskin - Spiritual Midwifery I listened to this program three times. I'm an RN in labor and delivery and loved listening to this interview. It was very inspiring and uplifting.
	Davida Johns 4/27/2007	Spirit In Action -Davida Johns - "Mature" Peace Corps volunteer and ProNica - Quaker aid to Nicaragua Mark, Thanks for the opportunity to share the ProNica mission. Davida
	Heather 4/6/2007	Spirit In Action -Praying for Peace, Paying for Peace, Part One - A Visit with Robin Hood & Maid Marian What a lovely radio station you have.

	Christoforos 3/30/2007	This is one of the best sites I have ever found. Thanks!!! Very nice and informal.
	Crispin Pierce 3/23/2007	Spirit In Action -Peter Alsop - Humor & Song as tools for growth, change and insight - Part 1 A very important topic -- healthy sexual attitudes for all ages! Little bit of hum from Mr. Alsop on the phone.
	Joe V. 3/7/2007	Spirit In Action -Restored Israel Of Yahweh Whoever "Anonymous" is that posted above should 1) Say who they are, and 2) Get over it already. You are either associated with them, or you aren't. Pick one and move on.
	Big Bird 3/7/2007	Song Of The Soul -Nicole Miller's Song of the Soul Everyone finds there soul sometime. I just hope it's not to late for people to understand love. Music helps everyone find love, it helps people forget who they are and become what that love. Nicole loves music and even without it she is a beautiful person. Play the music that relates to life, and realize you are never alone. When you loose a friend of music you loose a guy that will always be your best friend. -Luv
	Richard Fuller 3/6/2007	Spirit In Action -Quaker Earthcare Witness A fine show! Ruah and Louis have always been very quiet about themselves when I have been around them. It is a great pleasure to hear them speaking about themselves. And about all our lives, of course.
	Daniel wolpert 2/27/2007	Song Of The Soul -James Schattauer's Song of the Soul Wonderful show. James is the best!!
	Rosemary 2/27/2007	Song Of The Soul -James Schattauer's Song of the Soul I have known James for several years and keep meeting people who know him through their children. He is a bit of an icon for kids in the Twin Cities. He is also a great human being. Blessings to you James! Rock on! - Rosie
	Sharon Knopp 2/26/2007	Mark, I've listened to just two of your programs: Ruthie Rosauer and Sara Bryan. I enjoyed them both immensely. Very impressed with your concept, guests, conversation, music. Have you thought of distributing the program more widely? I think it's national quality.
	James Schattauer 2/25/2007	Song Of The Soul -James Schattauer's Song of the Soul I just listened to the program. It was a moving experience for me. It is rare for me to encounter public venues that readily match up with my music and spirituality. Song of the Soul was like running into a good friend. I want to give you credit and honor for the labor of love you put into doing this important work. Mark, it was a pleasure doing this program with you. I am humbled and honored that you would seek me out for this program. Your heart, mindfulness and stewardship to the the landscape of spiritual learning is deeply evident in your creation of Song of the Soul. Well done! With Heart, James Schattauer www.misterjim.net

	Phyllis Berentsen 2/18/2007	Spirit In Action -Peace Learning Center of Milwaukee Mark -- As one of the participants in your interview, I want to say that you did a terrific job of pulling it all together. I am very pleased with the results that aired today. Phyllis
	Barb Kleist 1/26/2007	Song Of The Soul -Cyndi Bradbury's Song of the Soul Cyndi is a member of our Plymouth family. She has brightened our church with her music. I think we all enjoy singing with her & listening to her. She has what I would call a "sunshine spirit". We are so glad she came to join our family.
	Sara Bryan 1/22/2007	Song Of The Soul -Savannah Rhae's Song of the Soul What a treat to listen to the soul song of my friend Savannah. Even though I know her quite well, this listen gave me a new angle into her story. Loved to hear her laugh, too. Haven't we come a long way?
	Sara Bryan 1/22/2007	Song Of The Soul -Sara Bryan's Song of the Soul A note from the interviewed: Mark first asked me to consider sharing my story about a year ago. It took me that long to decide that yes, it was time. The preparation was meaningful and healing. The interview itself was affirming; it gave me a chance to speak of what is most important to me. Mark is a sensitive and respectful interviewer, his skills are just what are needed to make these interviews hold together and come alive. The service that Mark provides to our community with his Song of the Soul program is of great value. My prayer is that everyone who seeks good company on their soul journey will discover this treasure, for the good of all.
	Kathi Bradbury Frelk 1/21/2007	Song Of The Soul -Cyndi Bradbury's Song of the Soul I am Cyndi's "Episcopalian sister"...she sent me the link and I very much enjoyed listening to your program, actually learning more about her through your questions and her answers, and enjoyed being entertained by her music. One anecdote about our family that came to my mind while listening involves one of our last family gatherings. Cyndi was playing her guitar and singing the Hank Williams song "I Saw the Light" and our "atheist" brother noticed that one of the bulbs in the dining room light fixture was out so he stood up and tightened the bulb and it lighted and we all rejoiced that Richard finally Saw the Light! You have an interesting concept for your program...making me think about which songs would represent my soul...I've started my list, but unlike Cyndi, would NEVER be asked to sing in public! I'll check back on other programs in the future. Kathi
	Jack Frost 1/2/2007	Spirit In Action -Sandra Lyons/Bernadine Franciscan Sisters I hate to bother you, but I have been looking for a friend of mine by the name of Sandra Lyons. I knew her in Hawai'i in 1963-1964. Her father was stationed in Hawai'i as was mine. We originally met at Radford High School (she subsequently went to Saint Francis). Would it be possible to forward this meassage to your guest and see if she is possibly the Sandra I knew? If you are not able to accomodate this request I will understand. I have thought and prayed for her often over the years. Respectfully and gratefully, Jack Frost 509.929.1950 frostj@cwu.edu jackfrost@jackfrostaa.com 2900 Canyon RD, SP 59 Ellensburg WA 98926
	George Grogan 12/26/2006	Hello, I have left you a message on your voice mail, but I thought I would give you a better understanding of what we can do together in this email. I have a book, that is not for sale, that I should read to people about how each one of us need to be taught how we all can "fix" the problems we have currently. The way we fix these problems is with a different set of rules from our Maker, God. What I teach has nothing to do with religion. When we all realize that in America there are over 190 religions, just try to imagine "anyone" trying to make sense of 190 versions of what God has said to them. There is a simple answer to what we need to do, and that is what I would teach. I would like to speak with someone on the phone about that. What I would be teaching is not taught anywhere. One of the things I teach people to do is demonstrate to themselves they are a miracle from God, and I can prove that. Thank you for your time. I look forward to speaking with you.

	Julia Marguerite 12/15/2006	Song Of The Soul -The Peace Sing-along - Eau Claire's Song of the Soul Ok, Mark now it's this little light of mine,and I want to add that- all the way to Toulouse you've shown your light and it's brightened my day, you are an amazing person who has been able to bring out the best in people, thank you.
	Julia Marguerite 12/15/2006	Song Of The Soul -The Peace Sing-along - Eau Claire's Song of the Soul This is such an enjoyable radio show! Every time I'm feeling down, I pick the latest show and my spirits are always lifted! This peace sing-along especially bring me all smiles hearing the songs I grew up singing at Nightengales, a Quaker gathering for singing and sharing in the Midwest. Thanks for your beautiful voices and souls!
	Eileen Immerman 12/3/2006	Spirit In Action -Nichola Torbett - Network of Spiritual Progressives Mark: Thank you for a wonderful show and for bringing the community more information on the Network of Spiritual Progressives (NSP). All are welcome to join us tomorrow night, Dec. 4 for an informational meeting. See our website: www.idd-ec.com/nspmain.htm Shalom/Shalam (Peace in Arabic and Hebrew). Eileen, Eau Claire
	Jaan H. 11/8/2006	Spirit In Action -Paul Kaldjian - Geography & Refuser Solidarity Network Hi from the northeastern corner of Europe - Helsinki, Finland; With a little help from my U.S. friends I was led to your site and listen to Spirit In Action 11/05/2006. Thanks for a great interview with Paul Kaldjian. I hope you keep this and other programming available on-demand for some time so the slow ones get a chance to hear them, too. So now - on top of BBC world and NPR - there's one more international wavelength worth listening! Thanks again and keep up the good work, Jaan
	Dave Perchard 10/8/2006	Song Of The Soul -Debi McClain's Song of the Soul I was having a conversation with my long time friend Debbi and she mentioned how she was on a radio show and I have since listened to your program and enjoyed both the conversation about debb's MS and the music that was played and absolutely loved it...congrats from Dave Perchard from ST.John's,Newfoundland & Labrador,Canada.
	Robert Webb, Boston, MA 10/8/2006	Song Of The Soul -Debi McClain's Song of the Soul Debi has been a friend of mine for a long, long time. Like your sister, I met Debi in a chat room. Mark after hearing your interview with Debi, I’m going to give her a call; She is the sweetest young lady I’ve ever known. Mark I’m glad you had the chance to talk to her.
	Steve Kastner 10/4/2006	Spirit In Action -Wisconsin Coalition Against the Death Penalty - Arthur Thexton Hello Mark, Thanks for an excellent radio show and an interview with great depth. Thanks as well for providing it on-line in a format that is archived and able to be shared with our audience. I will link to it on the WCADP.org Web site and plan to use the link in article to be published in The Door County Compass and the Wisconsin Progressive sites. Your shows are a great discovery with a lot of other titles that I plan to access. Steve
	Anna Sandidge 9/19/2006	Spirit In Action -Anna Sandidge - Friends Peace Teams Mark - Thank you so much for this great work that you do. It is so encouraging to hear what people are doing in their faith. Having heard the excerpts from the interview we did together - I didn't even recognize myself! You do work miracles. Your work lifts up the gifts of Spirit in a way that is truly wonderful. Hearing the work of others gives me so much joy and great hope for the world. In peaceful service, anna
	Leah 9/15/2006	I have been listening to various Song of the Soul and Spirit in Action programs in the past few days, it is just what I needed! I love getting insight and inspiration from well-known people doing things I would have a hard time doing, and also from people who are more like me--it's a great balance. Now my list of things to read and people to get to know is even longer than before. THANKS!
	Phyllis Berentsen 9/10/2006	Mark -- My husband Frank and I just finished listening to excerpts from several of your shows and we were fascinated. It is wonderful to hear folks speaking from their hearts about following leadings of the spirit -- so different from much of what one hears on radio. I wish that we could hear your show regularly.
	colleen 9/10/2006	Song Of The Soul -Julie Schmitt's Song of the Soul I just finished listening to the julie Schmitt show twice over the last couple of days. I think this is a wonderful show and you are the right person to be doing this. Hearing Julie 's song picks and info about her life showed me there are still ways to connect i nthis crazy disconnected world. It is so hard for me to find like-minded people. Hearing Julie speak about her life made me think-i have to meet this person. I loved her chanting music picks and it was a delight to my soull and heart to listen. Thanks again!
	Eli Gottfried 9/10/2006	Spirit In Action -Gigi Pomerantz - Tikkun Ha-Ir & Sustainable Organic Integrated Livelihoods Mark: I just finished listening to your interview with Gigi. It was a powerful, powerful interview. Thanks for doing the interview. Keep up the work. It's much needed. Eli
	Jonathan Lutz - from Finland 9/6/2006	Spirit In Action -Chuck Fager/Quaker House Please let Mark know that I have just listened to Northern Spirit radio--interviews with Tim Lane and Chuck Fager. Great stuff! Jonathan Lutz
	Dick Dubielzig 8/31/2006	This is a great resourse and, I am sure, a lot of work. I will pass this on to Friends and friends. It took some computer savy beyond my own to be able to play the programs but now I will visit again.
	Barbara E. Arnold 8/30/2006	Spirit In Action -Patti See/Kidney Donations With all the clutter that can occur on commercial radio, I love to listen to Mark's program to remind me about the positive vibes that are occuring in our community. The program with Patti See was particularly inspirational. Each and every one of us has an opportunity to make a difference in this world if we choose to do so. Thank you Mark!
	steve berman 8/29/2006	Spirit In Action -Dan Nerhaugen - Civic Engagement & Literacy Listened to Dan Nerhaugen's interview via the internet. My first time listening to northern spirit and i was impressed. Yes, an informed and engaged citizenry seems likely to bring the best chances for securing life, liberty, and happiness in a democracy. I was glad to hear Dan and see the work he is doing. I visited his website as well. I appreciate this program for providing concrete examples of action: things I, my chldren, and others can use for inspiriation to move from thinking and complaining to doing. I was impressed that the host pressed Mr. N about his condemnation of television. Facile condemnations of TV are too easy. And a bias towards the benefits of reading is likewise too easy. Mr. N was led to clarify his position about TV by avoiding the question of content and describing instead the way TV steals time from people that could be devoted to civic engagement. Over my life I've developed a fair amount of skepticism about the general benefits of literacy. Despite being an avid reader of literary fiction and non-fiction, the last time i got politically involved it was due to an invitation from a high school educated neighbor with little time for reading but plenty of passion for a cause. I seem to find that skepticism and and critical thought are not necessarily linked to literacy. Nor, I imagine, is caring enough to get up and do something. Though for someone with the drive to get politically engaged, literacy may be a powerful tool. At any rate, enjoyed the show, and look forward to hearing more of them.
	Bruce O'Brien 8/29/2006	Spirit In Action -Dan Nerhaugen - Civic Engagement & Literacy I heard the recent progam with Dan Nerhaugen, Civic Engagement & Literacy, and I was thrilled to hear the perspective of the connect between literacy and democracy. I was shocked, however, at the statistics he cited about the appalling lack of literacy in the US and the degree of apathy. For many years I have been a proponent of the "blow up your TV" idea because of the passivity I had witnessed in myself and others while watching TV. A life-long reader, I have encouraged and modeled reading, curiosity and civic involvement for my children. We have the power to change ourselves, which is a profound spiritual practice. Thank you for this program.
	Esther Hinshaw 8/28/2006	Spirit In Action -Bonnie Tinker - Love Makes A Family Mark, I'm enjoying the programs I've listened to immensely. Particularly for the program done with Bonnie Tinker, I felt empowered by her description of Quaker values in action. I learn from stories of how people live their lives about as well as from any source. I plan to share these programs with others and look forward to hearing more myself. Keep up the great programing!
	Sue Gagliardi 8/28/2006	What a beautiful, inspirational website and thank you for making available all the wonderful recorded radio programs.
	Tricia Duyhuizen 8/27/2006	Spirit In Action -Anna Sandidge - Friends Peace Teams Northern Spirit Radio brings the gift of many voices, many perspectives, but all speaking of our common humanity. I've enjoyed listening to programs both over my radio as well as through the web site through the archived interviews. Most recently, I enjoyed the interview with Anna Sandidge in which I learned of her work with the remarkable Friends Peace Teams.
	Crispin 8/27/2006	Northern Spirit Radio provides in-depth, thoughtful perspectives on issues that matter to me, including the Iraq occupation, a sustainable Wisconsin, inclusiveness of all our people regardless of sexual orientation, and political and social justice. I find guests to be committed and courageous in their desire for a better future. Bravo to this relevant source of perspective.
	Anonymous 8/27/2006	Mark has a gift for drawing out the spritual underpinnings of an individual's good work in the world. What a wonderful thing for those interviewed to be invited and challenged to articulate that connection! What a blessing for those who listen to hear the many ways Spirit works in the world!
	Gaylord Oppegard 8/26/2006	Mark, Thanks for what you are doing. Your "grassroots" programing is what this country needs more of. You and your work have done much to unite many of us in our efforts to promote peace.
	Sara Bryan 8/26/2006	I love this idea - using music to illustrate individual faith journeys. The variety of guests and musical choices is WIDE and amazing. What rich characters we human beings are! Mark, thanks for all the energy you are putting into this radio show. It's a great gift to our community.
	Cathy Sultan 8/26/2006	Mark, with so much turmoil in the world now, your work is vital. The world needs millions more who, like you, are dedicated to turning the tide from war and senseless death to peace and security. Cathy Sultan
	John Powers 8/25/2006	Having heard favorable comments and discussions about a few of the quest speakers and their interpolations of world events and circumstances, I find it almost imperative that I take the time to listen, or at least record some of these interviews. Listening over the internet also gives me a viable option to get tuned into what all the positive and sometimes unexpected reactions emanating from certain people is all about.
	Madina -from Almaty, Kazakhstan 8/25/2006	Spirit In Action -Anna Sandidge - Friends Peace Teams Dear Mark, I have just listened to your interview with Anna Sandidge. It is indeed a great and admirbale job that she is doing and it is also great that you are managing to arrange this sort spiritual interviews which also are of global concern while being in Eau Claire. (I always felt like there was something special about Eau Claire and people there.) These broadcasts surely contribute indirectly to more strives for peace in hearts of people who listen to them. So, thank you for doing this and good luck to you! Madina.
	Rev. Paul Jacobs 8/23/2006	Mark, Thanks for the blessing of the unique mix of heart opening music and inspiring story that Spirit in Action is. A great balance to the negativity of our world. I can listen and let my heart and mind open and be nurtured. A good motivator to take time to listen on a regular basis especially since I can access the shows whenever I want on my computer while I'm way out of the broadcast range here in St. Paul.
	Yvonne Kuter 8/22/2006	Thank you, Mark, for providing this valuable service. It is heart-warming to hear commercial free, special interest free programming geared toward peace and spiritually. Keep up the good work!
	Tim Seid 8/22/2006	I'm glad to see a Friend making such good use of radio and other technology for ministry. I look forward to listening to more programs. I have placed a link on our web site's list of Quaker links. -- Tim Seid Associate Dean Earlham School of Religion Richmond, IN esr.earlham.edu
	kim 8/22/2006	Thank you for providing this program. It is a joy to hear of other's faith journeys and how music has either influenced that path or helped define it. This is one of those valuable programs that helps build understanding among community members. It also can provide insight and possible exploration into the listener's own faith journey.
	Ruth Scharnau, Dubuque, Iowa 8/22/2006	Song Of The Soul -Jeremy Kadinger's Song of the Soul Mark, Thank you for introducing us to Northern Spirit Radio. I listened to Jeremy Kadinger's Song of the Soul and enjoyed it thoroughly. His wide knowledge of and experience with music came through clearly, not only in that which he said but also in the songs he selected to play for the listening audience. In the process, I learned about musicians who are new to me, people whose albums I'd like to purchase, like the Five Blind Men of Mississippi or even the one by Johnny Cash with which I wasn't familiar. Your approach to him during the interview was so calm, so respectful, so incisive. I thank you for that. You didn't sound "preachy," but instead drew him out in a way that obviously called out his best. I will be tuning into Northern Spirit Radio often in the future.
	Kat Griffith 8/21/2006	Wow, I had no idea about this until a note from a F/friend encouraged me to check it out, saying it was great. What a wonderful line-up of speakers -- people doing wonderful, inspiring things, generating good news... and I really appreciate the links to the organizations and projects profiled. This is going to be my one-stop-shopping site for linking some of our homeschooling activities to real-life situations and opportunities. A truly horizon-expanding show! Thanks!
	Martin Male, Australia 8/21/2006	There is a real need for this service in these times. A voice of compassion and understanding that allows a variety of experiences to be heard and shared. The fact that it is available online to download allows free and unhindered access. Bring this on,Thanks Martin - Canberra, Australia
	Rev. Virginia Wolf 8/20/2006	Spirit In Action -Bonnie Tinker - Love Makes A Family Mark, thank you for the program on Bonnie Tinker. She is a wonderful woman with lots to teach us about how to communicate about lesbian and gay people. I truly admire her work on the radio, talking weekly with right-wing people about her life experience and listening carefully to them about their views and the sources of them. You do a service to the community in bringing such people to our homes and in crafting a lovely hour of music and commentary so that listening appeals to both heart and mind. Thanks again, Virginia
	Jon Shafer 8/19/2006	Spirit In Action -Chante Wolf - Veterans for Peace I've just listened to your program about Chaunte Wolfe, and her experience in the military. I appreciate hearing the high-quality sensitive interview which Mark Judkins Helpsmeet conducted with her. Mark has a natural radio voice, and his empathy opens up those he interviews. Mark's questions are personal and probing, yet respectful. I look forward to hearing more of his work here in the Northern woods of Wisconsin. Thank you for bringing high quality, diverse programs to us.
	J. Willie Williams, Prairie Farm, WI 8/19/2006	I don't get a chance to hear this kind of programming anywhere. Having it available online makes it possible for people like us, living beyond most radio and TV signals, to participate in some way in the many spiritual paths discussed on this program. Peace, Willie
	Carla Peterson 8/18/2006	Hi Mark, As usual, your programs are of high quality. I especially have enjoyed listening to Song of the Soul on the internet, as we are too far away from the radio waves. Learning how your guests experience their spiritual lives and relationship to music and song is fascinating. Keep up the good work, the singing, the dancing ... with spirit!
	Rich Van Dellen 8/18/2006	Song Of The Soul -Jane Truscott's Song of the Soul I just listened to one of the Song of the Soul radio programs: the interview of and songs picked by Jane Truscott aired on 08//06/2006. This was an inspriational program. I was impressed. It was top quality. This is a worhwhile effort Mark is doing.
	Mary Ann Crolley 8/18/2006	Spirit In Action -J.E. McNeil/Center on Conscience & War Followed links to two interesting web sites by JE McNeil and Chuch Fager on military servitude. Now hearing my first program, on Bishop Sprong. Glad to have this resource, keep it up Mark!
	Kevin from Madison 8/18/2006	Song Of The Soul -David Huber's Song of the Soul I listened to the Song of the Soul, David Huber's selections. Excellent idea. I've always listened to music as essential to my spiritual journey. His selections by Zappa, Floyd, and Mahler were all particular favorites for me too. I remember listening to Zappa's 'outside now' late at night in a converted shed in the vines of Tuscany. and then wandering out past the little monastery to the cemetary. Floyd's 'pigs' was almost the soundtrack to my retreats in my tent at the foot of the Alps where they plunge into the mediterranean. Again. late at night, sitting on a massive boulder, the Alps behind, the Med below. Kevin
	Lori Chilefone 8/18/2006	Hello Mark~ Always delighted to hear your programs on WHYS Radio, “Spirit In Action” especially. Personally enjoy hearing varied stories from people of all walks of life. The stories from your guests have been rich and hopeful. You have a talent for finding active and thoughtful people in and outside our community. Thanks for bringing their voices to the air. Respectfully, Lori Chilefone
	Julie L. Ramos 8/18/2006	Dear Mark, I especially enjoy the Song of the Soul program of your radio station. In this day of constant conflict, intolerance and groups professing to "know the only right way", it is a pleasure to see the diversity of views expressed in Song of the Soul. Spirit is a broad concept and it is interesting to listen to how others path have led them to their present faith. Keep up the good work. In peace, Julie

	Katherine Kocs 8/18/2006	Northern Spirit Radio's "Song Of The Soul" series is one of the most inspirational and thought-provoking shows, I've listened to -- BEST EVER in the religious genre -- uniquely developed and delivered without preaching or pomposity! Incredible format, fresh in approach and substance. Mark has found a way to touch souls in ways that reflect the diversity of humanity, in the most individual of ways -- through communication with individuals -- yet utilizing mass communication! The intimacy of the interviews combined with the music invites the listener to enter into the private world of the interviewee with a reverance seldom experienced in this time and day. The result is a wonderous experience!!! Thank you, Mark, for this gift........ you have a way of uncovering hidden paths through surprising landscapes of the soul and spirit.
