Liberadio(!) Podcast: March 31, 2008 Episode

Posted by Liberadio(!) on April 5, 2008 under Uncategorized |

Summary: Our guests are the Honorable Karl Dean, Mayor of Nashville, and Dodd Galbreath Executive Director of Lipscomb University’s Institute for Sustainable Practice.

Part 1 - It’s the day before April Fool’s and we’re just getting warmed up, apparently. China’s just getting warmed up too. Do you think they going to outsource the manufacture of Zawa t-shirts, pencil sharpeners, and key chains? Plus, John McCain takes over The Onion’s Weekly Radio Address. Good cheese.
Part 2 - Interview with Nashville Mayor Karl Dean to discuss the budget, public schools, public transportation, Nashville’s homeless population, and, despite Freddie’s protestations, who he voted for in the presidential primary. We’ll get to the Red Sox next interview.
Part 3 - Oh my god! They did boo President Bush at the brand new LEED-certified Nationals Park! If we were there, we wouldn’t have booed. Or would we….? BWA…ha…ha…Haaaah!
Part 4 - Our very own Congressman Cooper (D-The Fightin’ 5th!) signs on to a promise to change Congress from within. You go, Coop! (He lets us call him that. OK, no he doesn’t).
Part 5 - Interview with Dodd Galbreath, Executive Director of Lipscomb University’s Institute for Sustainable Practice. What would Jesus Pollute? Not much, Dodd will tell you. Not much at all.
Part 6 - We give an Elbert Ventura-less Media Matters Smackdown to Chris Matthews, Brian Williams, and Charlie Gibson (We miss you, Elbert!) - and our callers jump right in. Plus our Danish FOL*, Caspar, wonders what the heck we’re doing over here about climate change.
