Digs Ditches and Sails on Gossamer Wings

"Ruth Copland has a unique interview style - an artful combination of practical professionalism, and intuitive listening, which creatively evokes subtle aesthetic themes. Few interviewers listen. Her style reminds me of the music made by blues guitarist Leo Kotke - media savvy and practical, yet tender and soulful. Like Kotke, Ruth Copland digs ditches and sails on gossamer wings."

A Confident Professional

“Being interviewed on live radio is always a little nerve-wracking, even if you’ve done it many times before. You need to feel you’re in the hands of a confident professional who’ll not only keep the talk flowing, and make the occasion fun, but also bring out the best in you with lively, informed questions and a strong idea of how to engage listeners. Ruth has those abilities in spades - I’d go on air with her any time!”

Michael Marshall Smith, internationally-bestselling thriller writer, and author of INTRUDERS, now a BBCAmerica television series starring Mira Sorvino and John Simm

Best Thing on Radio

“Perhaps the best thing I’ve ever heard on the radio - Ingrid saying that “Hitler or aliens” would be cause for a just war! I love your person-on-the-street interviews.”

Great Topics for Discussion

"Great topics for discussion. Your interviews with people on the street are compelling. I like the fact that you seek out opinions from real people rather than pundits. I also enjoy listening to a show that deals with important issues without getting directly political. The balance between the topic hour and the arts hour make for an unusual and very enjoyable show. Thanks for a wonderful Saturday night!"
