A Critical Ear

While travelling the past few weeks I fell somewhat behind on uploads of the program to the Indymedia Radio site (though I was generally successful with getting them to Audioport on time). I’ve now uploaded the following to that site:

8 May, 15 May, 22 May, 29 May, 12 June.

Those are among the most significant developments we discuss in our latest show (for June 19, 2008). Also available on Audioport.

We’ve fallen a little behind in posting shows to the site (I’ve concentrated on getting them onto Audioport during some recent travels). I plan to clear the backlog and get them up soon, probably as a combined post.

This evening sees yet another edition of the show, it being Thursday and all that. One of the topics we’ll be returning to is that of the Pentagon Pundits, and the scandal of covert propaganda that has been so under-covered in the mainstream media. The Pentagon has now released over 8,000 pages of documents related to the illegal propaganda campaign, though as the Center for Media and Democracy notes, they are “in a format that makes it impossible to easily search them and therefore difficult to read and dissect.” Speaking of the CMD, I should point to their weekly podcast, where in 5 minutes they cover the most important stories related to spin and propaganda - both governmental and corporate.

Still live on air with today’s show, but wanted to take the opportunity to post the photo (of the Portworkers’ strike in Seattle) I just mentioned on air, and will post more later.

Update: Finished with the show, and will upload audio later this evening. Today’s show covered the Pentagon-independent expert-covert propaganda story, which has received surprisingly little coverage, as well as Hillary’s provocative comments about attacking Iran, the dockworker’s work stoppage in solidarity with Iraqi workers (demonstrated visually on the left, with thanks to fluffy) and healthcare coverage in the US, with specific reference to McCain’s plan and the presidential election.

Update (2008–05-02): Audio now online on Audioport and Radio.indymedia.org.

Update (2008-05-03): Also on the WRFU site. And a-infos (radio4all).

The subject line pretty much says it all. Bob’s in Oslo this week, so I did the show solo, drawing on various recorded pieces, including Tim Robbin’s address to the NAB. The link is to radio.indymedia.org. Also available through audioport, the WRFU site, and Radio4All.

You can listen to our latest show online here or here. Yesterday’s show included discussion of Carter’s visit to Palestine as well as an interview with Allison Hantschel about Douglas Feith (the focus of her book, Special Plans). Note that we’re now sharing our content on Audioport, radio.indymedia.org and from the WRFU site. If you’re interested in re-broadcasting the show you can grab it from any of these sources - though do let me know, so I know who’s depending on downloads from which sources, by what deadlines. At present I’m getting Audioport up by Thursday night, and try to get it onto either radio.indymedia.org or WRFU by Thursday too, with links added here, and the third audio source, by some time Friday.
