New Hope for Warmer Latin American Relations

February 2nd, 2009

Latin America

The following podcast is brought to you courtesy of A World of Possibilities and The Mainstream Media Project.

Over the decades, U.S. policies towards Latin America have lurched between intervention and apparent indifference, demonstrating its dominance while leaving a residue of resentment. Now, on both sides of the border, new hope emerges for an era of warmer relations. What have been the impacts of U.S. policy, and how are they likely to change in an era of renewed hope but severe economic distress?

Guests:
Tom Barry, Director, TransBorder Project; Americas Policy Program Fellow, Center for International Policy
Oscar Chacon, Executive Director, National Alliance of Latin American and Caribbean Communities
Luis Fernando Arias Arias, Secretary General, National Indigenous Organization of Colombia
Joy Olson, Executive Director, Washington Office on Latin America

Left Right and CenterLeft, Right and Center is a weekly half-hour radio broadcast and podcast produced by KCRW in Santa Monica. 

The three panelists begin the show by talking about the Democratic National Convention.  They talk about former President Clinton’s impassioned speech, the Clintons’ endoresement of Senator Obama, and Senator Obama’s economic policies as outlined in his acceptance speech in front of 75,000 people in Denver.

Then the panelists talk about the surprising pick of Governor Sarah Palin as Senator McCain’s running mate.  They talk about her lack of national experience and about her accomplishments as Alaska’s governor.

The Bill of Rights Podcast

May 24th, 2008

United States Bill of Rights

 

Bill of RightsI ran across an interesting website called Librivox, which has a large number of audio readings of public domain documents and books.  One of the documents that caught my attention was the Bill of Rights from our Constitution.

The Bill of Rights are the first ten amendments to the United States Constitution. They were introduced as a series of amendments in 1789 in the First United States Congress by James Madison. Ten of the amendments were ratified and became the Bill of Rights in 1791. These amendments limit the powers of the federal government, protecting the rights of all citizens, residents and visitors on United States territory. (Summary courtesy of Wikipedia)

You can read the Bill of Rights and other Amendments at the Good Politics Radio US Constitution Amendments page.

You can listen to and download the audio reading of the Bill of Rights here.  By the way, the reader has a very pleasant English accent, which you will enjoy.
