    David Barsamian-back from Nepal & India plus SCOTUS activism and unilateral foolishness Jan 28, 2010
    Show notes

    David Barsamian, founder and director of the award-winning Alternative Radio program, just returned from a trip to India and Nepal, took some time to talk to Tell Somebody about his trip. He tells of running into eminent Indian environmental activist Vandana Shiva at a protest on an overpass in India, of his return to Nepal for the first time in decades, and shares his observations on subjects ranging from PBS' Charlie Rose to some rather vacuous comments from a couple of members of the Kansas City Missouri city council that he heard on Tell Somebody.

    The bulk of the show is David Barsamian on fire, in a good way, but first a snip of audio from the same-day Public Citizen press conference on the hyper-activist Supreme Court decision in the Citizens United v FEC case and the non-sequitor dismissal of critics of the proposed new Kansas City nuclear WMD plant boondoggle by KCMO councilman John Sharp and councilwoman Kathy Jolly.

    Prof. Marjorie Cohn on Iraq Pregnancy Policy-Gregg Lombardi on Renters Foreclosure Evictions Dec 23, 2009
    Show notes

    On this week's show, Legal Aid of Western Missouri is looking for cases in which renters are being evicted from foreclosed properties, and the Army general in command of US forces in northern Iraq says pregnancy could lead to court martial and jail time.

    In the first segment, Gregg Lombardi, Executive Director of Legal Aid of Western Missouri talks about the new law requiring lenders to give 90 days notice before eviction to renters of foreclosed properties.

    Then, Marjorie Cohn, immediate past president of the National Lawyers Guild and law professor at Thomas Jefferson School of Law reacts to a Stars and Stripes article that says that Major General Anthony Cucolo III, the Army general commanding U.S. forces in northern Iraq has a policy in place that makes it possible for personnel who become pregnant, or impregnate a service member, to face court martial and jail time.

    Then we hear a bit of audio from a town hall meeting on health problems faced by Kansas City WMD plant workers, and the show ends with track 3 of The Recipe's take on the Bill of Rights.

    Will the Supreme Court Sell Out Democracy + KC WMD Plant Town Hall Dec 15, 2009
    Show notes

    The Supreme Court had been expected to have ruled already on a case that could overturn a century of election campaign precedent and solidify the faulty idea of "corporate personhood." Citizens United vs Federal Election Commission started as a case examining the 'swiftboating' of Hilary Clinton during her presidential bid, but an activist Supreme Court expanded it into an excuse to try to open the floodgates of corporate free speech in the form of cash. We'll get an explanation of all that from Public Citizen's legislative representative Craig Holman.

    After that, Kansas City activists Ann Suellentrop and Maurice Copeland talk about a town hall dealing with the health problems of workers exposed to myriad toxic substances in the Kansas City nuclear weapons components plant.

    The show ends with a spoken word piece on the Second Amendment by Priest and 337, aka The Recipe, from their CD on the Bill of Rights.

    Big River/King Corn producer Curt Ellis plus classic Bill Moyers Dec 08, 2009
    Show notes

    Last April on Tell Somebody, I talked with Curt Ellis, copoducer of a documentary film, King Corn, that aired on PBS' Independent Lens later the same night as my interview. (I've posted the 2008 interview here: King Corn interview with Curt Ellis from 2008 )

    Now, the King Corn crew have a new film out, called Big River, "a 30 minute documentary about the ecological consequences of industrial agriculture."

    This week's edition of Tell Somebody features a new interview with Curt Ellis about Big River, and in the second half of the show, excerpts from Bill Moyers speech to those gathered at the first Free Press national conference on Media Reform in Madison, WI in November, 2003.

    The show ends with a spoken word piece on the First Amendment by artists 'Priest' and '337', aka The Recipe from their new CD on the Bill of Rights.
