News Awards Season in Full Swing
KGOU producers swept two of those categories with first, second and third place winners, and Scott was awarded first place in the Reporting Portfolio category. We also won honors for website-exclusive news content, and for the KGOU e-Newsletter. “These awards underscore the quality of our staff, our locally produced programs, and everything we offer our community of listeners,” said Karen Holp, KGOU General Manager. You can see the entire list of 13 awards, and listen to or read the winning material, from our awards page.
Survey Results
We asked readers: How often would you like to receive the KGOU e-Newsletter? Among those who responded, more than two-thirds would rather receive the newsletter twice a month.
KGOU e-Newsletter Changes
Readers have spoken, and beginning with this issue, the KGOU e-Newsletter will appear in inboxes twice each month. By a two-to-one margin, readers who responded to last month's survey voted for more frequent newsletters.
By necessity, the newsletters will be shorter, but we'll also be able to include more timely programming information, such as the top story above. As always, your feedback is appreciated. Phone Volunteers Needed
 Looking for a way to actively support KGOU? Here's your chance! We are in need of volunteers to answer the phones and write down pledges during our upcoming membership drive.
The dates for the drive are Saturday, April 5 through Friday, April 11. We're looking forward to seeing all of our regulars, and some new faces too! To volunteer for a shift, sign up at our volunteer page or call Membership Director Laura Knoll at 325-0022.

Author Attacks 'American Unreason' — WEB EXCLUSIVE
 When scholar, blogger and author Susan Jacoby traveled the country to lecture on the subject of her 2004 book, Freethinkers, she made a discovery – anyone who came out to see her already agreed with her.

Listen to Jacoby discuss and read excerpts from her book on NPR.org's Book Tour.
Your Health – The Best Kind of Play for Kids
 Organizing play for kids has never seemed more like work. But researchers have good news: The best kind of play costs nothing and really has only one main requirement — imagination.

 Doh! Terry Gross Gets "Simpsonized"News Assistant Brian Hardzinski, KGOU's resident Simpsons fan, actually got the scoop on another such site last summer, and created Simpsonized versions of all the KGOU staff. (He claims he was taking a break from homework.) Recognize anyone?
