About The Author

Mathilde Rand and Laurie Corn

Mathilde Rand: December of 2008, I became part of the First Person Singular Team at KUSP (at that point we were five). During the last months of KUSP in 2016, I was the last hold-out. Now I am providing the same 2-minute program at KSQD, Community Radio, because I wholeheartedly believe in giving community members a voice. I am also the treasurer at KSQD. LAURIE CORN: I am attracted to the process of reducing a meaningful story or opinion to 90 seconds. I am a writer, so editing and honing a piece is a special love of mine. I have joined Mathilde Rand as co-producer of First Person Singular, and I encourage you to share your commentary on the air. This is community radio at its best.

Jeri, I’ve just read the last three of your programs and I am impressed. You raise important questions and make me think I should be more thoughtful and go deeper than my reactions to the depressing news all around us. Certainly thinking of passing on the blessings of liberty to future generations hits me hard as I have grandchildren growing up now, and I have for a long time believed in and worked toward a sustainable future–growing our own food, building an energy-efficient house, recycling, etc. But there’s a lot more to do, and I sometimes feel I’m too old to keep at it. But your Challenging Times piece makes a lot of sense and I don’t often “take a breath” and acknowledge my feelings. Letting strangers become teachers is a goal I need to embrace so I widen my world and become more receptive to new ideas and people. Thanks for challenging me!
