I really didn't need to react as strongly as I did, but like Yvette said, I'm human and this comment just really hit below the belt. Anyway, I wanted to thank all of you for the outpour of support. :) I promise to get back to the regular schedule as soon as I can! Hey everyone, thank you SO much for your kind words.

However, I like many others too, do not in any way take for granted all the extra hours you put into the research and production of the podcast. You have done an incredible job and I want to thank you for not only the quantity of programs, but also the outstanding quality of all the subjects you have tackled. Muchas Gracias for serving not only many people in the US, but people all around the glove. Lis Carmen,

You are truly amazing and what you do is valuable to our society; however, you need to take care of you. The fact that Marblefudge's comments got to you shows that you are human and you have feelings that should be RESPECTED. Thank you for offering us FREE education about race in America. Now go and take care of yourself. We'll be okay. Carmen,

In fact, it is the other way around- we all learned a lot from your discussions. Even if you only do one show you are already sticking your neck out; but what amazes me is that you are doing it on a regular basis admist your hectic schedule. That's a lot more initiative than a lot of people I know, including myself. So don't let Marblefudge ("marblefudge" ???!!!) bring you down. As you can see with all the other responses here, he is in the abolute minority. I think he/she is pissed because the current season of American Idol is over and desparately in need of entertainment...f-k'n troll. Hi Carmen,

Don't like MarbleFudge get to you. While I too wait for your shows each week, I realize that I receive them for free and that you are not responsible for my education and entertainment. Everyone is allowed breaks - regardless of the reasons. That's what reruns are for. No need to make any excuses. Furthermore, we are all human. The wrong comment can hit us particularly hard at the wrong time. When you feel stressed out, always take for yourself to regroup. Put you first. In the long run, it will serve you listeners better. Much appreciation and support for all you do. Good luck with your studies. Girrrrllll, pleasee. Don’t like MarbleFudge get to you.

As someone whose been listening to ATR from the very beginning I can't even begin to describe how much I love your podcast and how much I've learned from it. It's given me alot of insight into society's perception of race related issues, and as a mixed race individual myself, its influenced me to become more active in doing my part to change how our society looks at race. I, along with the majority of your faithful listeners I'm sure, completely understand how hectic your schedule must be and I, for one, greatly appreciate your efforts to broadcast something instead of nothing during your hiatus (I also happen to really enjoy listener feedback, so it's not even a disappointment for me at all). Just wanted to leave my two cents and tell you I think you're doing an amazing job. Carmen, don’t let idiots like MarbleFudge get you down.

I have learned a lot from you in the past year or so. All of your work is appreciated and this is one of my favorite podcasts!! As a white male that grew up in a small town in the Midwest that still had the sunset laws on the books (blacks out before sunset) but now lives in one of the few diverse neighborhoods in Milwaukee I have learned more they you can imagine from your cast. Keep up the great work!!!!! Thanks for you hard work. I have learned a lot from you in the past year or so. All of your work is appreciated and this is one of my favorite podcasts!!

It's a major strength of ATR and the multiple blogs Carmen administers that the conversation is open to numerous voices. Period. LaToya, great quote... it's one of my favorites, and definitely apropos. Carmen, you needn't explain yourself in this case. Your generosity already shows through, as does your committment to your mission, whatever shape it takes. a major strength of Carmen's work is her willingness to create the forum for other's voices to be heard. one of the strengths of Carmen's efforts is her incorporation of listener feedback and the creation of numerous forums (not just the podcast but multiple blogs) that encourage thoughtful discussion This is weak, using reader comments as the podcast for weeks? people are not going to be into that! but I see there was plenty of time to put up the advertisement for the pay per download speech and cutsey graphic, but no time for the cause out of the goodness of your heart, whats up with that? the other chick would never allow this kind of flakiness!

This is weak, using reader comments as the podcast for weeks? people are not going to be into that! but I see there was plenty of time to put up the advertisement for the pay per download speech and cutsey graphic, but no time for the cause out of the goodness of your heart, whats up with that? the other chick would never allow this kind of flakiness!
