"This is Talk of the Nation from NPR News"

He repeats that several times throughout the whole show, which is typical of radio programs. Therefore it's not strictly a cue. I'll try tweaking the wording a bit. - mako 05:25, 18 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You can tell when he uses it as a cue because the host will pause for a moment after saying those words so that stations can cut away. Otherwise, the phrase would be used in a sentence about the guest or topic and there would be no pause after the "News". Calwatch 01:51, 27 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Nationwide

What does this mean? Every radio station? Rich Farmbrough, 11:31 15 October 2006 (GMT).

Merger proposal

I would oppose merging Talk of The Nation with Science Friday; they are different shows with different staffs and different hosts which cover different subject matter. The fact that they share a time slot and promote each other's programming with on-air announcements is not sufficent reasons to merge them.

Host list

It would be good to have a list of who hosted when, e.g.,

John Hockenberry (1991-1993)
Ray Suarez (1993-1999)
Juan Williams (1999-2001)
Neal Conan (2001-present)

I'm not 100% sure about the dates; most of them are from other Wikipedia articles, while Suarez taking over from Hockenberry is a guess. I'm fairly sure Ira Glass was only a guest host, otherwise his bio/article would have said something more than that he was "substitute host" of (an) unspecified NPR show(s).

-There should be a 'discussion of bias' area.  Talk of the Nation seems to mainly only interview right wing and republican speakers.  (Not interested in politics myself, but had to mention it.)  Science Friday is quite unbiased.
