Today in our world…

7 am EST

• Media Reform - Data mining on social networks is much more pervasive and secretive than most users know. Long-time media activists Jeff Chester and Kathryn Montgomery share their concerns about online marketing and surveillance.

 

8 am EST 

• NH Primary: what on earth happened?  we share our thoughts on the surprise result and take a look at what is next in the Presidential election
• Candidate Profile: Ron Paul - We’ll focus on Paul this week - are you drinking the Ron Paul kool-aid?  am I biased? 

 

9 am EST

 

• Bush’s mideast trip - What is Bush hoping to accomplish in the Middle East with his recent travels?  Will he be successful?  What is needed?

 

Afternoon (3-5 pm EST)

• 3-4 – Media reform and Darfur (in case you missed the early-bird broadcast, which suggest you are a normal person!)
• 4-5 – LAWYERS!! – Can’t live with them, can’t live without them!  Guest Don Leka, a self-described recovering lawer, will tell us about efforts on the part of the Boston Law Collaborative to revamp the legal profession to be more collaborative and less oriented to conflict.  Does collaborative law sound like an oxymoron?  Au contraire, according to the Christian Science Monitor, and lawyers are hailing it as a godsend, rescuing them from the quagmire of courtroom battle.  It is the process where lawyers and clients agree that the lawyers will participate solely for the purpose of settlement negotiations and that if the case goes to court, the parties will hire new counsel.

 

Sunday afternoon (4-6 pm EST)

Topics still to be determined (send an email if you’ve got a bee in your bonnet about something and want to talk about it on the radio!), but candidates for discussion include:

• Voting machines – can we trust them?  http://www.nytimes.com/2008/01/06/magazine/06Vote-t.html?_r=1&ref=magazine&oref=slogin
• Morals – did they evolve? are they adaptive?  or do people just choose to be moral?  if so, how do they choose?
