Here are answers to some common Think-related questions:
1. How can I get a question or comment on the air?
Call 1-800-933-5372. We have only one call-taker who juggles all of our telephone lines, so keep trying. Please think about what you want to say or ask before you call and try to be as brief and to-the-point as possible. Be prepared to take your answer or response off the air. Prepared callers make the show sound better to everyone.
You might send an email instead. Our address is think@kera.org. Again, brevity is often the secret to getting your thoughts on the air. We do review every email and do our best to read as many as possible during the show. Please don't email and then call. And please only call once per day.
2. How do I get information about a specific program or contact a guest who was on the program?
Visit our Web page, www.kera.org/radio/think/index.php.
The most recent or next show will be displayed. For information on upcoming shows, click on "UPCOMING SHOWS" along the right side. For information on past shows, search for key words or dates in the "Search the archives of Think" field along the right side.
When possible, program information includes links to our guests' organizations and/or homepages. To reach an author, try contacting the publisher of his or her book.
3. How can I listen to a Think show via the Web site?
To listen to Think as it airs live (noon - 2pm CT), click the "Listen Live" link on the upper right of this page.
To listen to a segment that has already aired, subscribe to our free daily podcast. The 10 most recent programs are usually available.
4. How can I order CD copies of Think?

5. How can I suggest an interview and/or show topic?

We will contact you if we're interested in an interview.
6. May I attend a live broadcast of Think?
We're sorry, but our studios can not accommodate an in-studio audience.
7. Who wrote the Think theme music?
The Think theme was composed and performed by our senior producer Jeff Whittington and composer/producer Nolan Thies.
8. What was the music I heard during the break?
We're not able to provide information about music heard between the segments of the program.

Email us at think@kera.org, and we'll forward your message to our web services department.
