I'll be on the Chris Duel Show tonight from 600-630 PM Central. You can listen in here and Chris' homepage is here. Hopefully I'll be able to post the show afterwards, but if I am stuck in traffic I won't be able to.

You can listen to the show here.

. . . today at 6:07 PM Central to discuss Iran with Chris Duel. Yes, it's the long awaited return of Radio Agonist.

Listen here.

You can listen to both segments, just click on the links after the jump or here. Needless to say, I rubbed a bunch of 'told you so's' and 'na na na na-na's' in a bunch of yahoos faces. Deserved, if you ask me. And damn fun. Listen in, you won't regret it.

. . . Chris Duel Show in about 20 minutes. Tune in here if you can. We talked about Iran and I made a special announcement.

I was on the Chris Duel Show this afternoon. It was a last minute deal, but I did manage to get a clip of the show. We had some fun talking about the filibuster. Enjoy.

I'll be on Chris Duel's show tonight at 6:07 CENTRAL to talk about Iran. The livestream is here.

. . . 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.

. . . 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.

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.

Chris Duel, Mike Fanning and I had an excellent discussion about Rep. Ron Paul, Rudy Giuliani, Saudi Arabia, Free Speech, Israel and the Origins of 9/11. Listen in.

. . . the topic of discussion this afternoon at 6:07 pm central time when I speak with Chris Duel and Mike Fanning. We'll discuss the questions he asked Republicans during the debate, especially about 9/11 and 'leaving other countries alone" and the fact that some Republicans are calling for him to be disinvited to the next debate. If you get a chance, please listen in. Livestream here.

. . . at 5:07 pm central time to discuss this story about John Bolton and review the overall situation with regards to Iran's enrichment program. If you get a chance, please listen in. Livestream here.

Ian, Anatol Lieven, and I had a great conversation about America's Russia policy, Ukraine NATO expansion and the Republic of Georgia. Lieven's newest book, Ethical Realism: A Vision for America's Role in the World was not discussed but I have a feeling we'll be talking with him in the future about the book.

Ian and I hosted Elana Levin of the Drum Major Institute to be on our show today and it turned into one of the most interesting conversations (as opposed to vapid) I have had in quite some time. Mostly economics, but still economics from a distinctly 'lay' perspective. The interview/conversation with Elana begins at minute 29:00.

Ian and I also discussed the media-courtier elite in Washington and the Blogging Elite spread out all around the world and what great benefits we derive from it! Listen in, you'll not regret it.

We had a very wide ranging discussion from corporate profits, the British sailor crisis, Nancy Pelosi's trip, generational politics and then with our guest Paul Kerr we discussed Iran's nuclear progress, loose Russian nukes and finally we dabbled in a little international relations theory. Enjoy!

Short segment discussing the release of the prisoners today and Nancy Pelosi mommying Bush. It certainly brought out the wingnuts. Listen in! The part I just love is how the guy blurts out this horrible sexist remark and then complains that I call him names by simply calling him on it! These Republicans are such whiners.

. . . Ian and I will be interviewing Paul Kerr of TotalWonKerr and the Arms Control Association. Our topic will be the shoddy recent ABC News report on Iran, this report by David Albright and the general trend and direction of Iran's nuclear program. Be sure to tune in!

. . . not giving anyone a heads-up about Radio Agonist tonight. I had planned to make it home in time to do the show. Unfortunately a very important meeting kept going on and on and on and on and well, you get the idea. We'll be back Thursday.

A big software glitch on BTR's end cancelled tonight's show. We'll be back Thursday night with the same lineup: Marco Celige of Billionaires for Bush. Be sure to tune in!

Had a great show today. Jessica Valenti was on for the first half and we talked about feminism, my mom, growing up in the 70s and 80s. Then I bashed Baby-Boomers a bit, Ian and I discussed Musharraf and we barely managed to cover the new North Korea crisis. Enjoy!
