Positively Revolting on 05-11-12 The Nation correspondent, John Nichols
Ani and Lyn speak with John Nichols, correspondent for The Nation magazine and the associate editor of The Capital Times in Madison, Wisconsin. His latest book is "Uprising: How Wisconsin Renewed the Politics of Protest, from Madison to Wall Street." He has covered seven presidential races and reported from two-dozen countries. He is the author or coauthor of eight books on media and politics.
They will be discussing why Wisconsin matters and how the spirit of Wisconsin has inspired activism on other states. What's a "Next Media" system and how can it allow citizens to create their own media platforms. Can we possibly reclaim the first amendment, how the progressive past and historical roots can motivate and encourage citizens to fight for their lives and livlihoods. This and more ... you never know where talk radio will go.

Positively Revolting on 05-04-12 Guest Michael Meade
Lyn and Ani talk with Micheal Meade about his new spoken word CD set Inner Wisdom
Drawing upon myths and wisdom traditions from both the East and West, Micheal Meade finds and mines the ancient "roots of wisdom'. Rather than abstract knowlege or general truths, this "embodied wisdom" is shown to be both immediate and eternal, both personal and deeply soulful. The point here is the awakening of the Uniquness within each individual and their connection to the divine: which is to say our connection to each other.

Positively Revolting on 03-16-12
Ani and Lyn look at the current fog of sexism blanketing the political scene.
Women who want contraceptive care conisidered to be part of basic health coverage called sluts and prostitutes.... Legislation is written to mollify religious organizations and business owners that will deny employees access to contraceptive care, if the owners deem such coverage as contrary to their religious views.
In this election year it seems as if the old pendulum is swinging far, far to the puritanical end of the spectrum.
Well, ani and Lyn aren't having it.
As radical feminists and thinking people, we declare that sexuality is a sacred right and part of our existance on this plane. Pleasure is divine. We will not be shamed or legislated into "family values". We vigilantly watch for the most unholy alliance of church and state, and we resist it.
We assert our rights to be as sexual as we want to be.
Author and activist Dark Lady was guest.

this morning's program: host & speaker
I am a daily KBOO listener; however, while todays speaker while speaking from the heart regarding her dismay over the Afganistan theater of war, she makes vague statements, with great emotion, but few references to facts, which could easily be woven into her statements to make them more illuminating, it would give more power to her rally cries. Tt feels as though I am simply listening to hyperbole LIKE ON CREEPY FOX NEWS! The Hosts of the program, similarly, are never probing or asking for clarification of the important issue, an important question to probe is: "why ARE we there?". This program is dithering, and the speaker is bland, unconvincing of any knowledge base, boring, 10th rate. Additionally, this is typical of the "Positively Revolting" hour, I usually never tune in when I know these two hosts will be on, bcs. it is never a provoking program, it rarely reveals or provides any new information about anything. If this program has to continue to be on at all, consider putting it on late at night....it is pablum.
Good Sista' Bad Sista' on the other hand was a great relief for me on Friday morning's programing, those women are sharp, witty and smart.
Do not dumb us down with this progam "Positively Revolting", it is a zero.
Pay Equality
I recently heard the argument that the pay differential between men and women is actually fair. This idea is based on the situation of women living longer than men but work the same period of time. This argument claims that the total difference of pay between men and women equals the cost of additional medical care spent for women in their senior years.
For example, let's say a man and a woman work the same number of years (about 40), in the same job with the same responsibilities, and the man makes 10% more than the woman. Say that the job pays (in constant dollars) an average of $30,000 over the forty years. The man makes $1.2 million over this period and the woman makes $1.08 million.
The difference is $120,000. Now at age 60, a man will generally live to be 75 and a woman will live to be 85. Most medical expenses are incurred in the last ten years of live. These costs are paid mostly by public funds through MediCare. The pay_inequality_is_fair argument holds that this $120,000 pay differential is used by society to pay the additional medical expenses that women use and men don't.
I realize that this argument will float like a lead zeppelin on the Positively Revolting community. However, you may want to be aware of it so you don't get blindsided by it in a public debate on the issue.
Thank you,
Alan in Portland
Where did Ani go?
Where did Ani go? I miss her!
I'm here, honest
Wow... How about some positive feedback?
I must have picked a good week to start listening to KBOO. My unhealthy addiction to KPOJ has been shaken. What stirred me to radio hop was the recent clubbing and scrubbing of morning show co-host Heidi Tauber.
Thankfully (along with news I'm not hearing elsewhere) I struck gold with back to back to back mornings of call in shows which were right up my avenue. On Wednesday Barbara Bernstein and friends of the 40 Mile Loop took me on a bike ride down memory lane. The next day, Dave and Jo Ann took on the very difficult but extremely important topic of race and justice in America. I found the candor of the hosts and callers-in to be a much needed breath of fresh air.
Yesterday was quite synergenic. I didn't think anything Positively Revolting would be my pint of brew, but the community of thought that came together was positively revolutionary. I'm still not entirely successful in finding joy amidst the madness, but the range of emotions I was able to experience during the show were a welcome departure from depression. Together we just may succeed... or at least, survive.
KBOO, I think I love U. (And Jeff always has sumpin' to say to go along with that sexy voice! I'm glad he seems to hop around the dial too.)
Friday's Program Was Not Acceptable
HI,
I like to listen to KBOO in the morning when I drive to work. I usually learn something interesting and enjoy the thought provoking discussion. Last Friday (2/22/08) about 8AM their was a caller who make a very good point about the disparity of wealth being less meaningful then the disparity of consumption. I thought it was an excellent point he made, someone has to own the companies that employ people, and the companies have a great deal of value, but it's not liquid and it's not like the owner is spending it all the time. The radio show host really put the caller down, and I don't feel even tried to understand, let alone address his argument. Furthermore, the co-host said that the whole discussion was too "intellectual", like it's not okay to think on a talk radio show. I felt like the hosts just wanted to complain about people being rich, without addressing anything of substance. I expect this sort of opinion driven mush on AM talk radio, but I feel it is below the standards of KBOO. I"m really disappointed.

Appropriate title - Positively Revolting
One is wise to pick their battlefields, as well as their battles - this is mine. As a listener to this morning's program, I initially thought I had some valid opinions to voice with regard to the topics presented. Since the lines were busy, I was satisfied to just listen. The objects of my opinions changed radically as I did so - the topics of discussion soon took a back seat to the format of the discussions. Are calls only taken based upon the caller's willingness to agree with Ms. Silverwolf? Time after time, she disconnected callers based upon her unwillingness to allow their point of view to be heard.
Granted, not everyone is skilled at making a point; however, that is where the skilled[?] announcer should be trusted to guide the conversation, not terminate it. While Ms. Silverwolf may be a volunteer, bravely taking on the awesome responsibility of accepting live calls from the public on volatile subjects, she should remember that it IS community radio, not just a forum for those who agree with her.
Based upon what I heard this morning, I am seriously reconsidering my continued support of KBOO.
Most sincerely, and thank you for not taking my call
