On the Marc Media is pleased to announce that NPR'S, The Diane Rehm Show will be discussing the Lyme disease controversy and UNDER OUR SKIN, an eye-opening film investigates the untold story of Lyme disease, an emerging epidemic larger than AIDS. Diane Rehm will also be discussing Pamela Weintraub's book, Cure Unknown, Inside the Lyme Epidemic.

This is a huge opportunity to educate the masses about the seriousness of Lyme disease. The Diane Rehm show, which has been on the air for 25 years, has more than 1.7 million listeners each week and has become one of public broadcasting's most-listened-to programs.

The Lyme Show will air Monday, April 20, 2009 at 10 a.m. ET. To find out where you can listen to th e show, click here: http://wamu.org/programs/dr/about/affiliate_stations/

I assume it will be archived. I don't thing we get this show in NorCal, so I'll listen online.

Looking forward to it. Even if I end up sitting in my car in the driveway to get hear it, I will! [Smile]

Usually they do national news on the first hour of her show, then some other subject.

I notice at the website that Blumenthal is not on the list of guests.

You can submit questions/observations before and during the show to [email protected] Can also call in during the show. Remember that short submissions are more likely to be heard than longwinded ones.

HOW CAN I GET A QUESTION OR COMMENT ON THE AIR?

Call 1-800-433-8850. We have only one call-taker who juggles six telephone lines, so keep trying. We are also usually able to read a small number of emails on the air.

i've never listened to diane before and i didn't know about her voice problem either.

i think diane did OUTSTANDING JOB! she kept everyone on subject instead of any long, drawn-out rambling like phil started a couple of times.

she was quick to say she didn't understand and kept asking for user-friendly language she could understand.

PAM, KATHY FOWLER, & DR. SHOR did a wonderful job and expanding on things. i listened to it live, but my connection kept going OFF so i would have to keep hitting play to hear it.

tonight i listened to all 49:50 minutes of it again, and heard what was missed earlier.

phil was the perfect DUCK! diane had great questions for all, and SHE DID HER HOMEWORK.

if anyone has an email address i can write a thank you too, i'd appreciate it. big thanks [Smile] xox
