PRIOR to show:

Here's a work-around, the FSU 1st scheduled Soap Box Lecture http://cl.ly/CN7f it is: Austerity Games and the Global Impacts of Wall Street (Video 2 of 3)  "Austerity Games and the Global Impacts of Wall Street" at Occupy Boston's Free School University on October 7, 2011 Kevin P. Gallagher discuss how Wall Street interests have hijacked the debates of crisis and debt in the US and across the globe and in so doing have duped publics into thinking that austerity is the route to recovery and growth. Nothing could be further from the truth. ---Kevin P. Gallagher is associate professor of international relations at Boston University and research associate at the Global Development and Environment Institute, Tufts University. --- Mark Blyth and Gallagher both blog at Triple Crisis (www.triplecrisis.com), a global blog of political economists writing about the crises in finance, development, and the environment. or say this:

We are listening to: Kevin Gallagher, of Brown University presented by Free School University's Occupy Boston Economic Forum. FSU's first class, originally recorded, October 7th, 2011, "Austerity Games and the Global Impacts of Wall Street"That is the audio version of FSU video which can be found at: YouTube search for FSUOccupyBoston: http://www.youtube.com/user/FSUOccupyBoston

Contact David if you'd like to be live in the audience: David Oscar Knuttunen <oscar@knutdav.com>

Rebroadcasting FSU lectures: FSU YouTube was the main content of the radio for the 1st month ... IE they copied our YouTube into mp3s and are looping them so, that's gotten a lot of play. I'd be into rebroadcast them if we select the top 5.  I think the stumbling block there is that when they transformed them into mp3 they didn't label them thus it's hard to sort. ... David said he could re transfer to mp3s and label them appropriately.

K & D, Can we have a phone discussion? Preferably a conference call?  Specifically for: pre interview research and with preparing questions. And to help plan out a general structure/format/etiquette for the program. By this I mean some regular structure, not written in stone, that the host can fall back on if they don't have something else planned.

Soon there will be an OB-RADIO website where the schedule will be posted.
