What Radio Stations Are Saying About The Infinite Mind "WAMU is pleased to offer such fine, award-winning programming to our listeners in the greater Washington community. Topics related to the development of the human mind affect each of us in very personal ways. We are proud to be associated with a show of this caliber." - Susan Clampitt, Executive Director, WAMU Washington, DC "I was surprised how much people are interested in the topics. The program approaches its topics with new angles, new ideas and new solutions. It is a godsend to our listeners, a real lifeline." - Mario Valdes, Station Manager, KRCC, Colorado Springs, CO "One of the most intelligent shows on the air. The day The Infinite Mind airs here is very chaotic, but I always try to stop and listen during that one-hour. One of the reasons public radio exists, is for shows like this." - John Best, Director of Operations, KACU, Abilene, TX "I'm excited about getting The Infinite Mind on the air. As far as I'm concerned it is one of the best programs available on public radio." - Phil Easley, Station Manager WEMC Shenandoah Valley, Virginia

What Listeners and Others Are Saying About The Infinite Mind "The Infinite Mind stands out for the broad range of topics addressed and for the rare blend of in-depth consideration and understandability that you continue to bring to many complex issues. Your consistently lively and always informed guests and, of course [program host Dr. Goodwin's] own long experience as a neuroscientist, a clinical investigator, and a practicing psychiatrist are establishing The Infinite Mind as an important - even essential - source of information for all Americans." - Steven E. Hyman, M.D., Director of the National Institute of Mental Health "The kind of education you are doing will give the general public a better understanding about the wonderful and complex nature of the brain in a very understandable, user-friendly way. Keep up the good work. What you are doing is very important." -- Rita M., Los Angeles "I especially enjoyed tonight's broadcast on Attention Deficit Disorder heard on WABE/Atlanta. My daughter has it, and I have always suspected that I have it, though I have never been diagnosed. I taped the show to send my daughter. Keep up the good work. The program is terrific." -- Joe U., Atlanta "Your The Infinite Mind work benefits us greatly, every time y'all have a show, the next day we are inundated with calls from people who have let down their stigma guard to let us give them information to help, even if they don't come to us. Our psychiatrists have also remarked lately how much they have appreciated this effort." -- Kay B., psychiatric RN, Texas
