[PEN-L:30417] radio updates

[Doug Henwood <dhenwood@xxxxxxxxx>]

I've just posted yesterday's show to my radio archive -
<http://www.leftbusinessobserver.com/Radio.html>.

September 19, 2002 Campus Watch, the right-wing Zionist "rat on your
professor" scheme * Eyal Weizman, one of the organizers of a banned
exibit, The Politics of Israeli Architecture, and Dan Monk, author,
The Architecture of Occupation, on how Israeli domination of
Palestinians is manifested in the built environment and the fight
over built space and place have fueled the conflict * Hamid Dabashi,
professor of Iranian studies at Columbia (and one of the targets of
Campus Watch), on internal Iranian politics, what it's like belonging
to the axis of evil, and the effects of a war on Iraq
NOW IN LOW BANDWIDTH!
Files are available in two flavors of MP3 - streaming and
downloadable. Initially, only 48kbps versions were posted, but many
people don't have the bandwidth to handle it. So, new shows will also
be available is 16kbps as well, which offers lower sound quality, but
should be well within the capacity of most dialups. Low-fi versions
of older shows will be added in coming weeks.

There are now nine full shows and five individual interviews in the
archive. Highlights include:

World Bank, on the U.S. economy, maldevelopment, and why it might be

2000 and one from 2002.

Relations bay for war on Iraq

Development in the government of Venezuela, talks about the coup
attempt against the Chavez government, and what they're trying to do
that's so annoyed Washington and the local elite

* Bill Wolman and Anne Colamosca, talking about their book, The Great
401(k) Hoax - how the new pension system screws workers and lets
employers off the hook

collection of pieces, many of which first appeared in Semiotext(e),

all a part.
