This is Hell

Een van de beste radioprogramma's ter wereld waar ik al enkele jaren geregeld naar luister. Vandaag met Roger Morris, naar wiens werk ik gisteren verwees:

'This is Hell airs live beginning at
9 AM (central) on WNUR 89.3 FM and all over the rest
of the world via our web site, http://www.thisishell.net

This weekend, it's a history of Defense Secretary Robert
Gates and American intelligence, we'll discuss 'Global
Outlaws' ... and, no, that does not mean we will have
two interviews on the CIA ... we'll dissect the Bush administration's disinformation campaign against global warming, we'll learn about America's cultural double standard for misogyny and racism, and we'll get to that report on the world's 'Failed States.'

Our guest will include:

- Roger Morris will talk with us about his three-part TomDispatch.com history of Defense Secretary Robert Gates and American intelligence. Roger served in the Foreign Service and on the Senior Staff of the National Security Council under Presidents Lyndon Johnson and Richard Nixon. Before resigning over the invasion of Cambodia, he was one of only three officials comprising Henry Kissinger's Special Projects Staff conducting the initial highly secret "back-channel" negotiations with Hanoi to end the Vietnam War.

- Carolyn Nordstrom, author of "Global Outlaws: Crime,
Money, and Power in the Contemporary World." Carolyn
is a professor of anthropology at Notre Dame.

- Tim Dickinson writes and edits the National Affairs Daily blog at RollingStone.com. We'll speak with Tim about his in-depth article, "The Secret Campaign of President Bush's Administration To Deny Global Warming."

- Dr. Edward Rhymes, author of "When Racism Is Law &
Prejudice Is Policy," is an internationally-recognized authority in the areas of critical race theory and Black studies. Edward will talk with us about his article, "Caucasian Please! America's Cultural Double Standard For Misogyny & Racism."

- and Pauline Baker, president of the Fund for Peace, will discuss 'The Failed States Index 2007' which was compiled with the assistance of Foreign Policy magazine.

Brave enough to be live, dumb enough to be goofy, stupid
enough to think that we can be a regular part of your Saturday morning hangover - This is Hell ...

"Really enjoyed it. Particularly
glad to hear that there is a voice
of sanity on talk radio. I don't hear
talk radio much, but when I do,
it's pretty appalling."
- Noam Chomsky

"I really enjoyed this program.
The questions and comments were
exceptionally provocative and
stimulating, which made for an
unusually interesting interview."
- Dan Ellsberg,
the Pentagon Papers

"Chuck should be syndicated. He
has the greatest guests. I do endless
interviews on C-SPAN, and it's so much
fun on Chuck's show. It's like a vacation.
But he also does heavy stuff, so I feel like
I'm getting more information than with the
other outlets."
- Greg Palast,
Guardian columnist and BBC Newsnight reporter

"Chuck's a very smart interviewer ... "
- Tom Hayden

"Chuck is one of the best prepared hosts I've ever
encountered and he asks extremely perceptive
questions -- not just one or two, but almost every
single question. And I must say that having 30 to
40 minutes for an interview really makes a big
difference. The guests can answer questions with
some nuance. I'm extremely impressed."
- Mohamad Bazzi,
Middle East Bureau Chief for Newsday

"Not your usual nonsense"
- Dan Forbes, Salon.com

Houdt u wel rekening met het feit dat er een tijdverschil is van zev en uur, dus 9 uur 's ochtends in Chicago is 4 uur 's middags bij ons.
