Tomorrow morning a piece I did will air on NPR's Morning Edition...

Now I know some of you no longer listen to NPR - but hey - I'll be on lol..

And to make it easy....my story will be about 10 minutes til 7am (6:50) - and then again at 10 minutes til 9am (8:50).

yea! I'm totally beat from many edits and audio sending etc...if ya don't catch me there I'll post a link to it when it becomes available on the NPR website :)

That's awesome! Congrats! :)

Congratulations!! I'm sure it will be the first of many :nod:

Wow! Congratulations, Deanna! :)

Well, they just had a bloodletting at CBS - so there are vacanies there :eek:

Good for you Deanna! :blob1:

:cool: CONGRATS :cool:

Thanks guys :D I am excited - heard it this morning too :D

Here is the link: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/s...toryId=4277976

And now - Voice of America is picking the story up :D Yea! I'm excited...nothing wrong with exposure ya know :nod: (save exposure remarks for the pervs thread please :p :laugh: )

You sound fabulous, darling. :xoxo:

And this Wegmans is awesome. I've never heard of it before, but it sounds like a fab place to work. Wonder why they make the employess pay for insurance now, though.

Thanks :)


Insurance is only $3 a week now :p - I guess the cost buden became too great for the company...didn't have time to put that into the story - though I tried :nod:

And it is a great company - only place I shop for groceries anymore..>Wal-Mart can kiss my A**!!!

Wow, that's fantastic. I'm surprised I've never heard of them. Go figure, a company that cares about the employees. What a concept, eh? :laugh:

I know - while standing there covering it and seeing the pride and happiness in the worker's faces - I was thinking, "damn. I shoudl get a job at Wegmans - I wonder if they need PR people..."

Then I had a hope of marrying into the Wegman family - but stupid Danny Wegman only has daughters...oh well...:laugh:

:laugh:

I know, I'd work there for the insurance benefits alone. $3 a week is unheard of!

Congratulations Deanna! :thumbsup:

Congrats! I wish I had read this yesterday, and I would have listened to you this morning. :distress: Anyway, that is just terrific. Hopefully, it will be the first of many appearances.

Girl-you've got a great voice! And the report was excellent. So proud of you sweetie!

I just listened and i'm now officially in love with your voice :laugh: Great work, girl!!!

Great job! What a great voice!

Awesome Deanna!! Wow, you sound so professional! Thanks for the link.

Gosh - thanks so much guys :xoxo: Y'all make me feel all warm and fuzzy :D

Thank for the complinments - I still shudder when I hear my own voice lol - but I do love my job :nod:

Really nice. And what a great story, I love companies that treat their employees so well, and they are few and far between unfortunately! Thanks for sharing. :)

Congratulations Deanna. You go girl. :thumbsup:

I am an NPR addict and I listen whenever I'm in my car, but I thought I'd missed your story because I was running late that day. I was driving to work listening to this story on Wegman's, thinking it sounded like a cool place to work, enjoying the story...then I heard your sign off! I got really exicted, thinking "I didn't miss it! I don't really know that person, but I know that person! :thumbsup: " :lol: Seriously, you sounded just like the regular NPR correspondants, which I say as a compliment to your professionalism. Congratulations :)

Deanna, this is fabulous! You've got a great voice! Congratulations! :thumbsup: I got so excited when I was listening to it -- I was like, "I KNOW HER!" lol...

Thank you so much - :xoxo: that means a lot to me :)

And thanks to all :wavey:

Wow, congrats! I look forward to hearing more from you!
