I enjoyed listening to the lecture but as a program director I would hope to have an avail to identify the program so that late joiners could be brought into the conversation. I would also want an opportunity to do a station break so that I could update weather, share an underwriting announcement, do some cross promotion and so forth.

In a perfect world I would have a billboard and a newshole.

Gail spoke quite fast at times and a 15-second id avail and a 60-second break would also allow the listening audience to catch their breath.

Gail didn't begin speaking until about 3-minutes into the program. Perhaps some of the information about the series could be moved to the end of the broadcast and why not drop in some provocative or just plain interesting audio from the lecture just before giving a more stripped down version of her bio? It would give the show some nice production values and perhaps would raise interest.

The first question was inaudible or close to inaudible. Maybe in post production that could be reinserted cleanly.
