Jean Feraca’s move to the weekend triggered other changes in the program line-up on the Ideas Network.

Starting June 30, Kathleen Dunn will move to Jean’s old time-slot: 9:00 – 11:00 weekday mornings. (For the last year The Connection, a national call-in produced in Boston, has been broadcast in that time period. Starting June 30, The Connection can be heard at night from 9:00 – 11:00 p.m.)

“I’m delighted to move to the morning shift,” said Kathleen. “Some of what we have been discussing for 10 years now in the afternoon will be appropriate for morning conversations. We’ll continue having conversations about the state of the world and hearing a variety of viewpoints on how best to make the world a safer and more tolerant place in which to live. I have deep interest in education and family issues. Those will also be a part of our conversations, and I look forward to talking with people in the humanities who help make our lives worth living.”

Kathleen added, “Aldous Huxley once said ‘Learn something about everything and everything about something.’ I expect we’ll do both over the course of time.”

With Kathleen moving to mornings, producer and fill-in host Ben Merens will host from 3:00 – 6:00 weekdays starting June 30.
