Friday Mar 2nd, 2007 8:23 AM
Audio of the Homelessness Marathon in Fresno. Each audio link is 30 minutes.

Info about the struggles to set up the Homelessness Marathon in Fresno can be found in the February 2007 (hard to find) issue of Street Spirit, in the main branch of the Public library, but not yet on line at http://www.thestreetspirit.org .

Another recent story on indybay can be found at http://indybay.org/newsitems/2007/02/08/18359646.php

Further audio will appear in comments as I am unable to upload even 4 files in one post. Should be in chronological order.

Here is the next half hour. If I have to make each post contain only 3 - 30 minute files. I will instead post a link here to a web page with the entire list you can click on. Bare with me as this is allot of audio but its also important.

First Hour

This is the first hour (Part 1) of the homelessness marathon. Because of technical problems, this hour was not available to some radio stations. The panel consists of the plaintiffs in the lawsuit against the City of Fresno and describes the situation that led to the legal action.

Hour-by-hour, the schedule of the 14-hour long marathon can be found at http://www.homelessnessmarathon.org/schedule2007.html

Note that the times are in Eastern Standard Time; for Pacific Standard Time, subtract three hours.

I hosted two hours of the show--a segment on Homeless Encampments from 10 PM to 11 PM PST (1 AM-2 AM EST on the schedule), and another Open Line from midnight to 1 AM PST (3-4 AM EST on the schedule).

These two hours are not yet directly posted but should be available soon.
