Our Week In The Web: May 01, 2015

We were faced with the somewhat eternal question of how to notify listeners and online fans about our updated show topics this week, and it's one we thought we'd bring here with some open-ended thoughts on the best way to let people know when news breaks and our topics change. When breaking news occurs after plans have been made for the next day's program — Monday's protests and riots in Baltimore, for example — we strive to be right in front of the news. But if the only exposure you have to our programming is on the broadcast air, it might be confusing when the show you originally heard as coming up the next day is suddenly a different one. We get loads of confused emails, tweets and Facebook posts — and even phone calls, too — wondering where our hour on the recovery efforts in Nepal went when they hear we're instead turning to Baltimore. We're considering an evening email newsletter that would alleviate some of these shifts, but we wonder: what's the best way for you to find out about our topics the following day? What's easiest? The most convenient? Let us know in the comments below, or on Facebook, Tumblr and @OnPointRadio.
