EXTENDED MARATHON SPECIAL October 13, 2005
Broadcast as a three-hour special, part of WBAI's fundraising marathon, half the show was taken up by begging for money, something web listeners wouldn't want to endure. Here are the three interviews that accounted for the show's nonmendicant content:
* George Galloway, MP, author of Mr Galloway Goes to Washington and scourge of Norm Coleman in a "very serious conversation" about Iraq, imperialism, Saddam's Anglophilia, and the "preposterous rubbish" of 9/11 conspiracism
* Robert Greenstein of the Center on Budget & Policy Priorities on post-hurricane finances (cut spending for the poor, cut taxes for the rich)
* Beverly Wright, director of the Deep South Center for Environmental Justice, on the social structure of New Orleans & race and the distribution of floodwater and toxins
