Let Your Voice Be Heard
On February 1st, 2008, the Marc Steiner Show was cancelled. The days that followed have seen an outpouring of support from listeners via email and in daily public demonstrations outside of WYPR. But more needs to be done to make WYPR and the WYPR Board of Directors understand that the decision to fire Marc Steiner should be reversed.
