I've had the pleasure of not only being a guest on Cross Word but also a frequent listener. Michele McAloon is a well-read and well- prepared host. She guides her guests yet gives them the latitude to answer questions fully. I always come away with having learned something new and with an interest to delve more deeply into the topic at hand. The show is a also a generator of great discussion.
