Air date: 
Mon, 02/01/2010 - 12:00am

 Hosted by Bill Resnick, this program features an on-the-ground report from Haiti.  In addition, we hear from Howie Hawkins, Green Party Candidate for Mayor of Syracuse about public, locally generated power; from PC Peri of Flying Focus Video about the 20th Annual Cascade Festival of African Films; from Chris Hedges (read by Tom Becker) about our fictional democracy; and from the late Howard Zinn (read by Bill Resnick) about why we should still be optimistic in uncertain times.  

Thanks to those of you who contributed during last week's membership drive!  If you didn't, it's never too late -- click on the tip jar at the top of this page.
