Air America

Sun, 20 Jul 2008 16:59:29 -0700

I'll be on Air American shortly--I believe within the next hour and a half--to discuss the latest developments vis-a-vis Iran. If you get Air America locally please listen in, or you can always listen to it over the web. The show I'll be on is The Young Turks.

Ok, so I will be on at 930am Singapore time, which is in 30 minutes from now. I believe that's 930PM New York Time.

Update: So, it was a fun interview. About 15 minutes long. The great thing about Air America and Cenk is that I get to speak in complete thoughts, not sound bites. Go figure! Anyhow, if you get a chance and you find a podcast of the interview please let me know. I'd love to hear it.

Update: My segment is at about hour 2:08-2:10 at this link: I want to thank Cenk and Ana for having me on the show. Also, if any one is able to record the segment I would be very grateful.

Nota bene: I'm on the radio now, 1000pm Singapore time, if you are so inclined.

I Don't Need A Survey . . .

Wed, 20 Jun 2007 11:20:01 -0700

. . . to tell me how imbalanced talk radio is. Hell, I live it. Still, this new survey the Center for American Progress put out on the structural imbalances in talk radio is worth a read:

In the spring of 2007, of the 257 news/talk stations owned by the top five commercial station owners, 91 percent of the total weekday talk radio programming was conservative, and only 9 percent was progressive.

What this says to me is that there is a market out there that the radio stations are failing to reach. I'm pretty sure it is a combination of risk-averse corporate behavior plus a lack of imagination plus a kind of "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" mentality. I'm sure the report gives a bunch of other reasons too.

Thu, 24 May 2007 17:44:43 -0700

. . . when you call in to a radio show and announce that you were in Iran last year for a covert purpose (and it was not I who made that claim)? Curious? Then listen to this.

BBC Radio 4: Diplo-Speak

Thu, 24 May 2007 14:48:22 -0700

I had the pleasure of being on the BBC Radio 4 show (hopefully it's not like ESPN 8, 'the Ocho') 'The World Tonight' discussing Diplo-speak with Jackie Hardgrave. I'm grateful I got Nazabayev's name right; that would have been very embarrassing.

Enjoy.
