Damn good interviews with relevant guests.
I became a fan during the run-up to the invasion of Iraq. Phil Donahue had just been fired from MSNBC. There was nothing, I repeat NOTHING, critical of the GWB administration that made it to our teevee screens and our radio speakers. Nothing except for "This is Hell!"
Online streaming was just getting off the ground. Online listeners were limited in number. That's right. Limited to a certain number of listeners. I remember logging on a half-hour before the actual broadcast simply to avoid being shut out.
I believe it's called college radio. WNUR is broadcast by Northwestern University. Sure sounds like college radio. Strange how the on-air voices seem to have weathered the normal 4-5 years to graduation.
Look it over. Check their archive. Give it a try. You may just be surprised.
http://thisishell.net/Tomorrow, Saturday, July 31st, This is Hell! will broadcast a live, four hour edition beginning at 9 AM (US central) on WNUR 89.3 FM streaming live at WNUR’s web site, and podcast shortly after here.
