More Larry "Piracy -- the purest form of Capitalism" Johnson. I can't wait. Methinks that Larry loves the sound of his own voice.
Hours 1 and 2 have been posted to the podcasts. Will post hour 3 Monday evening.
Thanks in advance. ... and it's great that you got the other hours up so quickly!
Is there some other way to get the WABC broadcast, if there's a problem getting all three hours as a podcast? I remember seeing something a week or so ago, but as usual, I forgot to make a note.
I guess your definition of Monday evening isn't on Monday? Just a little anxious since I couldn't listen to hour 3 on Sunday night.
Whew, I'm glad it's not just me in JB withdrawal!
My error. Apology. Will have correction Thursday 30. J
Thanks.
John, I suffered all those years without you after the show was off in NY. Now I can't go a week without your pithy sense of irony.
So, as I would assume you would put it, this week Monday is on Thursday. Such is the effect of Hope and Change (or Mark Styne: Hopie and changie).
Keep up the good (great) work.
John,
To echo others who asked not long ago, how about bringing back Yosef Bodansky, John Loftus, and others who added insight on the Foreign Policy side? Understandably you've had more focus on economics, but with so much going on internationally, the show has been missing something.
Still waiting for WABC hour 3 from 4/26/09 to be posted.
John,
I'm trying to figure out where those cliff divers are at? Talk about nerve.
Looking forward to hour 3 out of NY/DC since I couldn't listen on line.
I concur with the comment about foriegn affairs as well. Perhaps more shows per week, like the good ole days.
B/R
JB-
Second on the Loftus and "intelligence" sources on the show. I do miss Mr. Loftus.
Best to all.
Yes, our apologies for the delay. Hour 3 tape needs to be retrieved from the studio, edited and posted. Best information is that we will receive it Thursday night. Thanks for everyone's patience. :)
For those that can't wait and do not mind commercial breaks, John's east coast hour 3 is available from the archive section of the KSFO site. On their site it is hour 9-10 pm Sunday night.
Congressman Ron Paul is in the middle of an initiative to audit the Federal Reserve. Apparently they have not been audited ever and they do not have to provide consistent data to the Congress at all.
Ron Paul's bill now has 100 co-sponsors and it could use additional help from interested public like ourselves. I think it deserves more publicity. I recommend the webpages of his Campain for Liberty.
Hour 3 now posted.
Many thanks.
