Richard Heinberg performs his role as EcoTalk's final (for now) guest with aplomb, discussing Exxon's latest shenanigans as well as his books The Party's Over and The Oil Depletion Protocol.
And finally, Betsy sees us out with a brand new Madonna tune, released as part of the LiveEarth series of concerts to combat climate change: "Hey You." Download it here! LISTEN (12 min)
WE JUST LOST A GEM IN ECOTALK. NOT ONLY IS THE FOCUS OF THE SHOW SORELY NEEDED IN THE WORLD, BETSY IS SUCH A REFRESHING, INTELLIGENT, NO GAS, CONCISE HOST. HER WORDS ALWAYS HAVE SUBSTANCE. IT REFLECTS THE DUMBING DOWN AND COARSENING OF THIS LAND THAT SHE HAS TROUBLE FINDING SPONSORS.
THEN AGAIN, I FEEL MOST OF THE TRASH ON THE AIR IS FINANCED BY CORPORATIONS THAT CONTRIVE RATINGS TO MAKE IT APPEAR THE "SHOWS"(PROPAGANDA VEHICLES)THEY SPONSOR ARE SUCCESSFUL ON THEIR OWN. THAT IS WHY AIR AMERICA ITSELF HAS SUCH A PROBLEM WITH MONEY. THE MONIED INTERESTS DON'T WANT THE WORLD TO CHANGE FOR THE BETTER. IT'S OBSCENELY PROFITABLE FOR THEM THE WAY IT IS.
THE BIG LIE (IN RADIO ESPECIALLY) IS THE "RATINGS" SYSTEM. I HAVE NO DOUBT THE "APPARENT" DISCONNECT BETWEEN THE "SUCCESSFUL" CORPORATE SPONSORED SHOWS THAT STAY ON, AND HOW THE SOMEWHAT INFORMED PUBLIC VOTES ON RELATED ISSUES(%70 PLUS FOR SOLVING GLOBAL WARMING)IS THE RESULT OF SPIN AND DECEPTION. THAT IS WHY THE "PUBLIC" APPEARS TO REPEATEDLY VOTES AGAINST IT'S OWN BEST INTERESTS TIME AFTER TIME.
MONEY AS FREE SPEECH: WHAT A SCAM.
THANK YOU BETSY. I CAN ONLY WISH(I, TOO, HAVE LITTLE MONEY) YOU THE GREATEST SUCCESS. YOUR STYLE IS SO NEEDED ON THE "PUBLIC" WAVES. I LOOK FORWARD TO THE DAY I AGAIN HEAR YOU ON ECOTALK.
WHAT IF 60,000 GAVE A DOLLAR?
SINCERELY,
FRANK BROWN
