Mbanna Kantako - From WTRA to Human Rights Radio
Oct. 22, 2013, 11:27 p.m.
Mbanna Kantako speaks about the creation of WTRA (Tenants' Rights Association), the first micropower radio station in the U.S., the evolution of his political consciousness, and with that evolution, the transition of the station from WTRA to Black Liberation Radio, to African Liberation Radio to, finally, Human Rights Radio. Recorded at the University of Illinois on Feb. 19th, 1998.
This talk was originally posted to radio4all in 1998 at the following URL: http://www.radio4all.net/index.php/program/809
However, the links to the original sound files are broken. Moreover, before the links broke, the second segment (filename 0524blr2a.mp3) was corrupted so that there were dropouts making the segment unlistenable.
The version posted here was edited from the originally posted files to reduce noise and edited so the whole program would fit onto an 80 min CD (from back when people listened to such media :) . Several minutes were trimmed out from the original posted files to make the program fit. I have posted the third segment of the originally posted files, whose last 14 minutes are the last portion of the talk.
As of the date of this posting, the files previously accessible via radio4all can be found at http://www.mmnt.net/db/0/1/ftp.ibiblio.org/pub/multimedia/radio4all/radio/, (filenames 0524blr1.mp3, 0524blr2a.mp3, and 0524blr3.mp3) but again, the second segment is corrupted to the point of unlistenability due to gaps in the audio. If anyone has an archived version of the original it would appreciated if s/he would repost it.
Global Seed Companies: Who Owns What - Professor Philip Howard
Oct. 22, 2013, 10:02 p.m.
According to Philip Howard there were over 10,000 seed companies in the US in the 1970s, by 1998 there were only 1,500 left. This is a fascinating, fact filled report of how an ever smaller group of chemical companies, foremost Monsanto, DuPont and Syngenta have taken over a majority share of the world seed supply in a very short period of time. And they are not only dealing in basic grains and genetic engineering of corn and soy, but have already successfully acquired fruits and vegetables seed companies and hybrid seed stock.
Genetic engineering, the patenting of seeds, sanctioned by Supreme Court and global trade jurisdiction now make the saving of an increasingly larger part of the world seed inheritance illegal. Of great concern is the movement on the part of these global corporations to also make illegal the replanting of their growing stockpile of non- engineered and hybrid seeds. And Howard explains how that is done.

Todayâs show starts off in Zambia. Worldwide, an estimated 1.5 billion people do not have access to electricity. In Zambia more than 80% of the population has no access to electricity according to the World Bank. It has been shown that providing access to power can be tremendously beneficial to peopleâs education, their health and their livelihood.

Next, we come back to California where, after 80 years of extinction, a lone wolf has appeared in the Golden State.

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month, and Becky Lee of Richmondâs YWCA presents information about the signs of domestic violence, services the YWCA can offer to victims, and the importance of public awareness -- so that friends and neighbors are ready to help instead of âblaming the victim.â A core aim of the YWCA is to empower of women, and domestic and sexual violence services seek to do just that. They offer a 24-hour hotline, safehousing (and some financial assistance), case management, counseling (both individual and group), and hospital accompaniment for victims. The situation of abuse is complex, and most people who report domestic violence have been abused 6 or 7 times before they decide to get help. The victim often has fewer resources than their abuser -- usually because of their abuser -- and stands to lose things that matter to them (their kids, their home). Also, abuse often has a mental component that operates through blame, shame and control, so that the victim is unclear about their agency in the situation. The Regional Hospital Accompaniment Response Team (a collaboration between YWCA Richmond, Safe Harbor, and Safe Place) provides an advocate and support for the victims during the evidence recovery process and the retelling of the trauma to authorities. Case managers provide resources, and counseling provides trauma-focused therapy. The public should be aware that unexplained injuries, behavior, and routines can be a red flag, or when a friend says that somebody âmakesâ them do something, that somebody âblamesâ them, or that they are ânot allowedâ to do something. Events for Domestic Violence Awareness Month include a Brown Bag Lunch Series every Thursday and the Remember the Names Memorial for those who have died as a result of domestic violence.

David Oxenford at Broadcast Law Blog reports the FCC has extended the deadline for filing applications in the LPFM window until November 14 at 6 p.m. Eastern Time. Also, Sen. Ted Cruz is now effectively shutting down progress at the Federal Communications Commissioner. Cruz blocked the nomination of Thomas Wheeler for FCC Chairman Oct. 17. Previous chair Julius Genachowski left for a fellowship at the Aspen Institute last spring, and since then the commission is unable to move forward on major initiatives such as broadband expansion and spectrum reallocation. Cruz is blocking Wheeler, he says, "until he gets answers to his questions regarding Mr. Wheelerâs views on whether the FCC has the authority or intent to implement the requirements of the failed Congressional DISCLOSE Act. Mr. Wheeler had previously declined to give specific answers, but as heâs now expressed his readiness to revisit the Senatorâs questions, the Senator hopes to communicate with him soon." The bill, currently stalled in Congress, would regulate campaign disclosures, according to TechCrunch.
