Send it to the address TED Radio Hour publishes
TED Radio Hour's feed publishes a contact address. We do not print TED Radio Hour's address on public pages. A free account opens a pre-addressed draft for TED Radio Hour in your mail app; we never send it. TED Radio Hour's own site is npr.org, so a booking or about link would be there, and that route needs no account. Get the address for TED Radio Hour. Open npr.org.
