Hi everyone! Today KCBX News Director Benjamin Purper did an awesome job on All Things Considered, reporting about the vote to keep Diablo open. He stayed up all night working, since the vote didn’t happen until after 1am. Then he recorded an interview with NPR’s Ailsa Chang this afternoon. Here it is, so you can listen, in case you missed it: https://www.npr.org/2022/09/01/1120599954/california-lawmakers-move-to-keep-the-states-last-nuclear-plant-open And here’s the story he created for KCBX News: https://www.npr.org/2022/09/01/1120599954/california-lawmakers-move-to-keep-the-states-last-nuclear-plant-open Go Ben! Marisa __ Marisa Waddell (she/her) Director of Programming and Content KCBX Central Coast Public Radio (805) 549-8855 mwaddell@kcbx.org http://www.kcbx.org

As a Morning Edition host, I had a complete story on this really important topic for our listeners- just hours after the 'middle of the night' decision. News reporting at its best, Ben!

Thanks so much Marisa and everyone for the compliments! It was fun and I’m glad we got Ailsa Chang to say KCBX on live ATC 😎 On Thu, Sep 1, 2022 at 9:28 PM Marisa Waddell via Onair <onair@list.kcbx.net> wrote: > Hi everyone!

Ben I even got a compliment on your Diablo Canyon newscast this morning. I told them I'd pass it on to you!
