KPFA Critics and Hobo Lee on FRSC This Sunday (9/3)

by Robert Norse

Fri, Sep 1, 2006 5:59PM

Bathrobespierre's Broadsides will feature Riva Enteen, Bay Area citizen media activist, and Steve Zeltzer, labor media activist, doing phone interviews with Robert Norse at 101.1 FM 10:30 AM on Bathrobespierre's Broadsides. At 11:30 AM Hobo Lee will give an update on trainhopping and roughing it at home and abroad.

Enteen and Zeltzer are concerned with numerous recent issues at KPFA that some say are part of a continuing pattern of staff repression of labor and local community programming. Some years ago KPFA censored Democracy Now! (and Amy Goodman created Democracy Now in Exile!), banned Sovietologist Bill Mandel, and locked out other popular programmers. Reformers now claim they are being excluded from internal elections and punished for pressing for more labor programming.

Tune in to check out their thoughts.

Hobo Lee, previously a regular broadcaster and fanzinester, is pausing from his eternal railroading to brief us on his latest adventures and answer questions from Norse, who hopes to hop a train himself in the near future.

Call in at 831-427-3772. The show will be archived within a few days at http://www.huffsantacruz.org and streams at http://www.freakradio.org.
