In this edition of Rural America Radio, we interview Stephen Cobb, a rural resident in New York state, about the plight of rural Americans, those left behind after the last of the stimulus package was announced last week. Rural America Radio is a weekly show broadcast on Saturdays at 3pm central US time. Our focus this year, as in the previous year, has been Broadband and its impact on the local economies of rural communities. We interview guests on a regular basis and keep you up-to-date on the latest developments regarding high-speed Internet, agriculture, organic farming and other topics affecting rural communities in the United States. You can call +1-646-378-1746 to participate in the show during the live broadcast.
