I'm on "Week In Review" on Wisconsin Public Radio this morning. If you go here, you can find the button at the top left to stream on line from 8 to 9 Central Time or look for the word "archive" to listen to the recorded version later. If you listen live, consider calling in. You can get me and my co-guest Professor Georgia Duerst-Lahti to address some issue that was in the news in the last 7 days.
I've done the show with Georgia before. It was back on February 9th, and you can listen to streaming audio here. We began with the big story of the week: the death of Anna Nicole Smith. It's a point-counterpoint style of presentation, and Georgia gets to be the Left, while I'm supposed to be the Right. And I'll come across as a right-winger of course, because the subject of the war will come up, and nothing else will affect perceptions enough to move the political sensor dial.
What, you're actually in Wisconsin and want to listen on a real radio radio? We're on all the "Ideas Network" stations, like WHA in Madison and WHAD in Milwaukee.
UPDATE: I'm on now. Able to blog while broadcasting.
ANOTHER UPDATE: Well, so much for blogging during the show! I could have done it, but I forgot to. Now, I'm listening to the recorded show. I think it was pretty lively, with some callers quite hostile to me.
MORE: At around 7 minutes, a caller asserts that 50% of Americans see their country as the equivalent of the Third Reich.

I remember Georgia - that was the show where she tried to rebut my point about Bush not having served in the military being no different to Lincoln or FDR having not done so by claiming FDR had served. He was an assistant Secretary of the Navy! By that metric, Cheney should get a pass on the "chickenhawk" meme. :p
That ruled.
FDR had served. He was an assistant Secretary of the Navy!
Now that is weak. I can't believe someone would even equate that with military service.
Lincoln at least could say he was enlisted in the militia during the Blackhawk War.
LOL - finally, a caller plays the "how can you - a law professor" card!
Nice job!
What do Joy and the other guests think of you live-blogging during the show?
I've taken your class and heard you speak at the law school and you sound NORMAL.
But when you're on either TV or Radio, you seem to adopt a Meryl Streep ("devil wears prada") tone of voice.
Affectation?
I'm not sure, but I think it's called "being entertaining because it's radio", vrse.
I've never seen "The Devil Wears Prada," but now I think I will so I can Streep it up big time. I'll bring it to class too, since you want consistency. Look out!
Re the 3d Reich caller, Naomi Wolfe had a similarly childish article in the Grauniad recently (Peter will likely be the only reader here who gets that joke, but anyways...). And I have a working theory that the lack of a sense of perspective demonstrated by liberals in comparing Bush to Hitler and so forth accounts for their opposition to deposing brutal tyrants in other countries. The problem is that if they seriously believe Bush is like Hitler, or that America is a fascist state, no wonder they can't comprehend just how mind-bogglingly horrific it is to live in a state like Mugabe's Zimbabwe, or Saddam's Iraq, or Castro's Cuba, or Kim's North Korea. If they think America's a fascist regime, then life under their fascist regimes can't be all that different to life under our fascist regime.
Palladian,
It's annoying and unoriginal... well, what else should I expect?
