I'm a fan of the show and a member of wnyc. That being said, for some reason I pick up on this practice on wnyc. Yes, we recognize the voices of Hoffman and Streep and you introduce them as well. But you don't introduce Viola Davis as anything other than 'the black mother'. Maybe I'm being picky, that's entirely possible, but it has happened enough that I need to write and ask that you introduce artists other than by her skin color.
regarding shanley...strange but i'm sure theres no connection to the rev. shanley that was convicted in mass. for being a pedophile priest...
not needed in a show otherwise strictly on alien life of the outerspace kind....could have been left for one your more edgy shows...then this show could have been shared with our children.
