Friends,

   This morning, while listening to Jaws of Justice Radio on KKFI, I received a phone call from a telemarketer "on behalf of victims of torture."  I told her, "Turn on 90.1 right now!  We are airing something on torture even as we speak."  It was an amazing coincidence, but my point for sharing it here is that, although we provide a list of offerings for the week in this email, it is but the tip of the iceberg, and you should never hesitate to "Turn on 90.1 right now!"  and not just during the programs below:
