I'm sorry I haven't had a chance to post for the past week or so. My theatrical-life has switched into high gear, but I should ideally have enough time to get out at least one posting next week. I've got a few things swimming up in my head.
But, I wanted to share two interviews I've heard on two of my favorite blogs / programs over the course of the past week.
The first is an interview on the Majority Report with Richard Kahlenberg on why he believes that the right to Unionize should be a civil right. If you're like me and have always wanted someone to really the philosophical rational behind Unions... this is perfect. If you're more informed than me, as some of you no doubt are, I'm sure it will provide new context for some of your believes. And if you know nothing about Unions... really listen to it. Kahlenberg also presents a fantastic example of how to push progressive causes working within the confines of the structures of the American government. Its a fantastic interview and one of the best I've heard on the Majority Report for a while (which is high praise, not a backhanded complement). You can find it here
The second is from The David Pakman Show (which has just gone from 2 shows a week to 4, including an international thursday show, which I'm very excited about). On Tuesday, David aired an interview that he did with Neil deGrasse Tyson on the future of space exploration. Not only does Tyson provide a more plausible, palatable, and Progressive path into space than Newt Gingrich's Moon Base / 51st State, but he also provides a compelling argument as to why science (and by extension of that, space exploration) has been under attack and what we can do about it. You can find it here
So really, watch / listen to these clips. They're both from great shows (which everyone should try and catch every so often... and donate to if you can).
