		Lanpher left the Franken show last year because, she writes, "my co-workers wanted a specific result in the political process (the dumping of George Bush), and I was more interested in how we covered it.

	Katherine Lanpher's Departure \| The Al Franken Show \| Air America Radio (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Katherine was a great co-host, and the show misses her quite a bit.
		One thing I noticed about Katherine was that she was informed and knowledgeable, but did not convey a passion or caring about the issues (with the exception of women’s rights) at more than a smarty level.
		Katherine is a part of my reason for listening, with her quick wit and her knowledge of the political landscape.

		Katherine Lanpher ("The Diva of Talk," October 18) is a blessing.
		I admired Katherine Lanpher's column in the Pioneer Press, but frankly, she has a voice that is made for newspapers.
		Lanpher's conversation with renowned literary critic Harold Bloom is a perfect example: Listening to Harold Bloom talk to Jim in Ham Lake (or Sue in Stillwater, or whoever it was) about the merits of the Harry Potter books was like listening to a square peg being driven into a round hole.
