The last Tell Somebody was broadcast on KKFI two weeks ago, on March 24.
Well, at least, the last regularly scheduled weekly broadcast. I plan to continue to produce occasional shows when I can, and to podcast them and make them available for broadcast, so keep an eye on the blog pages - Tell Somebody (much in need of updating right now) and www.tellsomebody.libsyn.com, and the facebook page - http://www.facebook.com/tellsomebodynow. . It just has become impossible for me to continue to meet a weekly deadline.
As it became ever more apparent over the last year that I would have to give up the weekly show, I wanted to go out with repeat appearances by some of my favorite guests, and was largely able to do so. In the final weeks of the show I was able to do a final show with homelessness advocate Richard Tripp just a couple of weeks before he died, as well as repeat appearances by favorites Prof. Robert McChesney, Alternative Radio's David Barsamian, and Ray McGovern, among others.
While I am still behind on getting the audio of a number of the more recent shows posted, the final two shows are up.
A few months ago, after reluctantlly deciding the weekly show must end I heard that Mark Wilkerson's biography of former Kansas Citian Tomas Young would be out in the Spring. I met Tomas at an anti-Iraq war vigil on the Country Club Plaza in Kansas City in October, 2005, and shortly afterward met him at his home to record an interview for one of my first shows. I had met Wilkerson at the memorial gathering for Tomas Young in Kansas City in November, 2014, and decided to keep the show going until an interview with him about the book could be my last show.
Given that media reform and independent media and the journalsim crisis were major themes An interview with filmmaker Jen Senko about her documentary "The Brainwashing of my Dad" seemed a fitting subject
for the penultimate show.
Thanks to all who supported the show for over 10 years!
best,
