America lined up to thank Michael Yon last night on Pundit Review Radio. What an outpouring of support for the great work he does, bringing us vivid, well-written and compelling reporting from his base in Mosul.
We heard from fathers and wives of servicemen serving in Michael’s unit, and we heard from regular people who just wanted to say thank you to Michael for his brave and always balanced reporting. The respect and admiration for Michael was real and it was very moving.
Hopefully, people were moved enough to financially support his work, as we are all the beneficiaries of it. Visit his blog and hit the Support The Dispatches button, if you are able.
We took calls from Hawaii, Alaska, Texas, Pennsylvania, New York, Alabama, Washington and California. Not bad for a Boston-based show! Simply put, word got out and America lined up to say thank you to this generation’s Ernie Pyle.
We were glad to help make that happen. Michael will be back with us from Mosul in the very near future.
Remember, you can check out Kevin & Gregg on Pundit Review Radio every Sunday evening at 9pm at WRKO where we will be giving voice to the new media. Each week we will bring you interiews with leaders in the citizen journalist movement, people like Michael Yon who you will hear no where else but Pundit Review Radio. Thanks.
Michael Yon’s reporting is THE most compelling coming out of Iraq and it is our honor to bring his fresh insight and analysis to WRKO.
People here in the US are woefully ignorant of the situation in Iraq and Michael will bring it to us, the good, the bad and the ugly. We are not looking for Pollyanna BS saying everything is great. We just want perspective in our coverage. Nobody provides that like Michael Yon.
Michael will be on live from Mosul, Iraq this Sunday evening at 9pm EST. You can stream the show live at WRKO and you can call us toll-free with questions at 877-469-4322.
