One of the few radio stations where I live is an activist, information-based station that is funded only and completely by listeners, KCEI. No corporate, public broadcasting, or other organized sources of funds. The station is decidedly left-of-center, people of the world and Planet oriented, including recording and then airing local town hall forums or Indigenous or historical lectures about this area.

For wide-context on world issues, may I suggest a few podcasted shows or weekly ones?

• Bioneers.org: any podcast
• Project Censored.org: any podcast
• Economic Update with Prof. Richard Wolff: any podcast. Also on YouTube
• Nuclear Hot Seat: “what are those old boys thinking?!”
• Ralph Nader Radio Hour: I’m not finding the links I want!
  • last week’s focused on IT being aggressively marketed to school boards and admin, whereas the leading scientists evaluating IT’s results on student reading capacity and learning overall have determined that IT-focused learning provides no improvement – except for particular special needs learners.
  • this week highlighted the Quaker group, Friends, in their decades long international promotion of peace focused on the unfunding of the United Nation Relief Administration (UNRA) almost one full year ago.
• Alternative Radio:
  • Ilan Pappe: professor, dignitary, author and lecturer on Myths about Israel
  • Noura Ekarat: on International Law, Real or Fiction. Noura Erakat is a human rights attorney and a professor of Africana Studies in the Program of Criminal Justice at Rutgers University. She is the author of the award-winning book Justice for Some: Law and the Question of Palestine.
• Letters and Politics: always such an intelligent discussion. Recently, Elan Pape was the guest about his latest book, Lobbying for Zionism, a History.
