I fell in love with Fair Game - and now they're leaving me!
I am crushed! Faith and the Fair Game team have been a daily dose of news and entertainment for the last several months, and I just learned today that the show has ended! It was too short-lived, and I really feel like it had recently reached a groove - segments that had worked became regular installments, but Faith and the rest were always tinkering with new things. The "news team" and Daily Show-esque reporting were consistently witty and well-edited. Faith has grace, humor, intelligence, and a style of pointed questioning that often surprised guests - always a treat for the listeners. Some of my favorite musical groups I heard first on Fair Game - St. Vincent, the Mountain Goats, Goldfrapp. And without being too subversive or exclusively liberal, the team always managed to point out the ludicrous sayings and doings of politicians. Faith, I am a straight woman who would in an instant ask you on a date. I wish you and your team all the best in future ventures, but you will be sorely missed on my daily morning walks in the Pioneer Valley, Massachusetts. Sincerely, Alanna M LynchRead full review »
