BSTF 947 - "INAUGURAMUS!!"

Yes, January of 2009 was a heady, magical time... The last Bush Regime was getting kicked out of the White House, and thinking mutants the world over were celebrating--but not I, because I was mired hip-deep in the HURRICANE SPECTACULAR story arc with no exit strategy in sight! While I had no idea where it all was going, I knew it wasn't going to end soon...and that I NEEDED that buttwipe George as a viable continuing character. My nuts were in a bind--what's a bimbo to do? So I was faced with a horrifically unsavory task: --To contrive a means for the leprous President George W. Bush to stay in office for FOUR MORE YEARS! So yeah, I did it. I managed to pull it off using clips from OF MICE AND MEN and Robert Downey *SENIOR's* inspired '60s classic freakfilm PUTNEY SWOPE to stand in for the new chief exec (sorry, no actual Obama was used for this show--hey, no way am I beginning yet another poli-celebrity fixation, nosiree"Bob"!). The plot sickens as George shows he's learned well the lessons of September 11th--will he be able to find a building to knock over onto his rival before Barry takes the oath? NOTE: The WREKfm broadcast version is the 59:58 edit. If you like more abuse with your enterTAINTment, there's the longer 65:05 version. So enjoy--IF you CAN!

Mayor Bloomberg Provokes NYC School Bus Strike

Mayor Bloomberg Provokes School Bus Strike, Hurting Workers, Parents and Children with ATU Local 1181 attorney Richard Gilberg and Jimmy Hedge Executive Board Member/Delegate, Amalgamated Transportation Union (ATU) Local 1181 Union busting is disgusting. NYC's Amalgamated Transit Union Local 1181, representing school bus drivers, matrons, & mechanics was forced onto picketlines to save its very existence, due to Mayor Bloomberg's insistence on removing Employee Protection Provisions from contract language affecting the 9,000 workers. This change would impact current and future union members, allow companies to low bid contractors due to cheap labor, and put 150,000 children's lives in the hands of inexperienced drivers to navigate the hectic streets of NYC. This is a lose lose situation for union members and our families!

Out of the Woods - Show #146 1-18-13

This version of the program is divided into 6 segments so broadcasters who desire to use this content can insert your station info, etc. The segments vary in length, but I try to keep them approximately 30 minutes in most cases. Out of the Woods is an earthy, wires and wood, mostly acoustic program featuring some of the best new and established artists from the worlds of folk, bluegrass, singer-songwriters, alt.country, Americana, classic country, old-time, Celtic, and everything that falls in between. The show is an unpredictable mix flowing like a river between moods, often with an edge or in a melancholy minor key. On occasion, Out of the Woods features interviews and live in-studio performances with national and international touring musicians. Past guests have included artists such as Bela Fleck, Si Kahn, Brown Bird, Dana Robinson, Steve Gillette & Cindy Mangsen, Bill Bourne, Karl Shiflett, Rachel Bissex, Darryl Purpose, Bow Thayer, Cosy Sheridan and many others. Out of the Woods grew out of Jon 'Chip' Colcord's former acoustic programs, The Song Swap and Music For The Mountain, separate folk and bluegrass programs which aired in New Hampshire during the 1990s. As a child, Colcord grew up a ravenous music fan with an ear for both rock and folk, from Arlo Guthrie to Aerosmith. All of these influences converge on Out of the Woods to bring you a mix which is as much on the edge as it is down home. Folk music with a rock 'n' roll soul

#255 -- MLK vs. the War Machine

By 1967, Martin Luther King realized he could no longer focus on narrow "civil rights" issues such as housing. He had to oppose larger injustices including rampant militarism, the military-industrial-Congressional complex, and a U.S. foreign policy of eternal war. The U.S. was then waging a major war against Vietnam. We rebroadcast large portions of MLK's most important speech against U.S. war and militarism--the portions most obviously relevant to U.S. domestic and foreign policies today.

interviews Idle No More's Nina Wilson, Raul Burbano Common Frontiers

The Idle No More movement began as a string of emails as four women from Saskatchewan- Jessica Gorden, Sylvia Mc Adam, Nina Wilson and Sheelah McLean got together and decided to make a ‘sincere effort to make some change.’ The context for their resolution was the Canadian Bill C-45; the government’s omnibus budget implementation bill that includes changes to land management on the reservations. It attacks the land base reserved for Indigenous people and removes protection for hundreds of waterways and weakens Canada’s environmental laws all in one volley. In this segment of Latin Waves, Sylvia Richardson interviews Nina Wilson on the Idle No More Movement, Nina speaks of the long term struggle for autonomy that Aboriginal Peoples have sustained, and asserts the core values of Idle No More "We are here to ensure the land, the waters, the air, and the creatures and indeed each of us, return to balance and discontinue harming each other and the earth." We also interview Raul Burbano who is an activist with Common Frontiers A Peoples' Social Forum across Canada is scheduled for January 26 and 27th as a means of stimulating dialogue and organize collective action across provinces and communities. Moving forward a social movement that's from the bottom up and supported by progressive institutions across Canada, Québec and Indigenous communities. On this program Latin Waves host Sylvia Richardson speaks to Raul Burbano about the existing struggles for social justice and the possibilities collectively and collaboratively created by Idle No More, the student movement, occupy, labour and environmental movements across Canada. The immediate goal is to repeal the Conservative agenda of austerity and privatization but the long-term goal is to help transform the current political, economic and social paradigm, by employing creative resistance while proposing alternatives solutions. All are welcome to participate, It's in Ottawa on Jan 26th and 27th
