Last week, I listened to Bush's radio address on KNX 1070.
I first found this station after reading a story about reactions after the presidential election, which mentioned my hometown, with reactions to my dismay.
Bush's address came from Lima Peru, and addressed the bailout for the auto industry. I think it's great that Bush has a radio address, even if it was a short one, because I don't see that guy in the press as much as I would like to. So much is going on right now, and our president isn't weighing in on anything I care about. Plus, I don't think the auto industry should be bailed out; isn't that that focus of capitalism? Survival of the fittest.
The rest of the program talked about southern California issues, and while I enjoyed the smooth voice of Ken Kodo telling me about new mental health programs at Cedar Sinai hospital, I couldn't care less about SOCAL.

INVESTIGATIVE News Radio
INVESTIGATIVE News Radio Weekdays 5 PM Pacific Time at 94.1 Berkeley, California USA
I listened to Investigative News Radio Monday, November 24, mainly because I recognized Max Fraad Wolf's name from the Huffington post.
I enjoyed the points made in the beginning Flashpoints segment, primarily because I was interested in what they had to say about the similarities between Obama's beginning platform and Clinton's administrative highlights, because I think that Rahm Emanuel is an interesting character.
I'm still surprised Cindy Sheehan is in the news as much as she is;even though she ran form congress and is involved in the political process, do I really care what she thinks about the bailout?
I really liked the musical intermission between news stories; I think it helps some people(me included) to get their juices flowing, and consider things differently or from a different p.o.v.
I also almost always like author interviews, such as the one with Michael Levine, when they describe their writing process. Levine's discussion also touched upon all the other stories of the broadcast, and tied everything together well. I don't know if they always do this on this program, but tying all the stories together at the end, by someone worth interviewing really makes the program flow, and makes listeners like me want to tune in more and listen to the entire broadcast.
