Tuesday, August 14th, marks the debut of DFA Radio, a one-hour "people-powered" interactive Internet radio program that focuses on the grassroots activities of Democracy for America members.
Co-hosted by Robin Kinlin and Lewis Miller of New Jersey for Democracy, the show airs every Tuesday night at 9pm Eastern / 6pm Pacific. Listeners can call in during the live show to talk about whatever's on their minds or ask questions of the weekly guest. Previous shows will be archived and can be listened to at the DFA Radio page or by "subscribing" to the DFA Radio podcast.
"These days, it's so easy to take an idea and see it through on the Internet without any monetary investment whatsoever," says Lewis. "I'd first learned about BlogTalkRadio from Jeff Gardner (co-chair of NJ for Democracy) when he started hosting a show for BlueJersey. At that time, it occurred to me that a show focusing on DFA would be engaging, entertaining, and fun." Adds Robin, "I'm surprised nobody did it before."
This week's program will concentrate on Health Care in America. We'll discuss DFA's Health Care for America forums with special guest Sandra Verthein of Northside DFA, Chicago. We'll also talk about Michael Moore's SiCKO documentary, and how to organize a great event from A to Z.
