Trevor Tutro-Anderson - +KS FRSDailyTimes I'd have put Mike Gravel before Dennis Kucinich in the realm of most unelectable, but at that point, we're splitting hairs.
We've produced a special podcast wrapping up our Iowa coverage and looking at the race going forward. Listen, and let us know what you think.
Listen to a special podcast from NPR News on the first presidential contest of the year — and where the race goes from here.

Roger Kerr - I've just listened to the podcast, and as usual NPR has done a terrific job producing the report. As a frequent listener, my only concern is that I've heard a number of the segments in the podcast before. So it is harder for me to find the segments I hadn't heard previously. It is for that reason that I like the changes NPR Science podcasts have made recently where, instead of a single weekly podcast, they provide each segment as its own podcast where I can choose the ones I've missed.
I believe a single podcast as you've created is terrific for attracting new listeners, though. So if that is your target audience, nice job!

Elizabeth Jury - I also wonder, if NPR lied and said it was the first one, If anyone would fight against it....and still believe it was the second.

Do you agree with +Eric Deggans? Has 2011 been the year of the "Funny Female?"
Just a few years ago, some critics predicted reality TV shows would kill the sitcom altogether. Instead, the rise of the Funny Female proves network television's future likely comes with a smile — a...

Taneka Dixon - +Anais Sori I agree with you about reality TV. It is truly a mess. I find myself limited to the sitcoms that I watch. Parks and Recreations is great. So is Community, Modern Family and well that is it for me.

Genevieve Heinrich - I know I'm a few days late to this party, but I keep wondering if it has to do with how long we've been in a "recession", and how we're processing that fact. I'm thinking of it as similar to the "stages of grief" model: when the economy first begins to tank, people are more likely to turn to crime, because they don't want to accept/admit that they can't live the lifestyle that they're used to. They're desperate, also, to make sure they're able to survive. There are some who think crime is a one-time thing - "If I can just make this next mortgage payment, things will turn around." They aren't, however, prepared to make crime a way of life. Eventually, after enough time living in an untenable economy, anger and desperation give way to depression and resignation.
