Our Week In The Web: July 17, 2015

After a much-deserved two weekish vacation, host Tom Ashbrook is back on our air! Which is wonderful and exciting and great, but also prompted us to write a quick reminder that posts from the show — here and on our Twitter, Facebook and Tumblr feeds -- aren't written by Tom unless specifically noted otherwise. Tom's Twitter feed, of course, is written by Tom himself, and we thought it was fairly clear that our web presence, while reflective of the show's values and points, is not a reflection of Tom's opinions or voice. However, several comments and tweets from fans and followers as of late seemed to raise the question of who writes our web content. The answer is "digital producer Nick Andersen and staff" — and as always, any questions you might have about the Interwebs, write us at onpointnpr AT gmail DOT com. Thanks!
