It sounds like you got everything in that needed to be said; and that Tavis has started learning to listen and let his guests get their points in as opposed to jumping sides and trying to fight the battles for them.
When I did Tavis' show earlier this fall, I have to admit that he was very even-handed with his conversation; I was genuinely surprised.
I don't listen to NPR normally. I'm glad to know I can download TBM's interview from the archives...and definitely WILL! Thanks!
