3. My first time listening, and this guy is SHARP

He's got a great voice, he's nonconfrontational, he has his facts at hand and presents them in a manner which doesn't incite hostility in the caller.

"No, no, no, no. That's not what I'm saying." And then he proceeds to rebut the caller's argument.

Oh, he's GREAT!

7. He's been on for years

Got booted off from ie america for being too left wing. He's really special. He and Mike Malloy are fans of each other, btw.

16. My area has limited radio and I just recently got satellite Net access

So a lot of these people are "new" to me.

I tried listening to Mike Malloy, and even though I agree with him it's difficult for me to take his rants. Werbe is much easier on the ears. I could listen to him for a long time. I just wish this show didn't have so many commercials :P

18. Sounds like you'd enjoy Thom Hartmann

No theatrics, no yelling. Just solid, intelligent discussion led by a superbly informed host.

Give it a try.

26. Bob McChesney is also a non-confrontational show

He has an interview format style program. Today his guest was an Ohio State Representation talking about globalization. Last week he had Paul Krugman.

The show is linked here on DU on Sunday afternoons 2p central.

37. 'This is Hell!' is college radio at its very best -- Their horizon goes ..

... far beyond our shores. The show is a vital link for those who don't read foreign papers, imho.

Check their archived programs:

12. That's a great idea

Weekends or overnights on weekdays when they repeat Franken at midnight Eastern time. I'd like that weekday spot. Malloy broadcasts from Georgia, so it's not unrealistic.

I like PW's interviews in the last hour, too, btw.

17. His guest tonight will be talking about Haiti

Rudy Simons, Detroit area businessman, described his fact-finding mission to Haiti along with Detroit Auxiliary Bishop Thomas Gumbleton. Simons met with residents who told of the violence and poverty that have increased since the overthrow of the Aristead government.

Edited on Mon Dec-20-04 02:01 AM by Robbien

phone with a lawyer who was assigned to President Aristide. So during the whole kidnap of Aristide we heard the NED people shooting and people screaming and the lawyer describing everything that was happening.

Democracy Now broadcasted all day live coverage of everything. It was an hair-raising experience.
