| #16 - We're Baaaaack! | |
| 9/4/2008 | Download File (55.05 MB) | |
| Wow, where have you guys been?It's a long, long sordid story, true Green believers. We could go into all of it, but we'd have to bring up the poodles...and the chocolate sauce...and the C clamps...and - oh, to heck with it, just listen to the episode; we explain there!And such an episode! An hour-long effort this time out (so make sure that iPod is charged up) covering a lot of election news that we'd been letting slip for a while, including a discussion of all the major party candidates in the upcoming Presidential election!The spotlight is, of course, on Green candidate Cynthia McKinney and her running-mate Rosa Clemente, who you can currently find out about at this website. That's right, runcynthiarun.org is now forwarding to this site, held by...a member of the 9/11 Truth movement?In other news, if you're in the D.C. area, be sure to catch your host and his announcer-daughter in the latest production by the community drama troupe The Rude Mechanicals. And check out Goodnight Bush, our kiddie story from plug time! A nice read for your kids - preferably once Bush gets hauled in front of the courts at the Hague, so they know the boogeyman gets his comeuppance! | |
| #15 - Interesting! | |
| 6/22/2008 | Download File (30.60 MB) | |
| "May you live in interesting times. May you come to the attention of those in power. And may you receive everything you ask for."Well, in terms of probably apocryphal Chinese curses, we're batting one-for-three here on the Secret Frequency. But that won't stop us from following the latest news - specifically, the efforts by Representative (and erstwhile Presidential candidate) Dennis Kucinich to impeach the President. Can we say that again? IMPEACH THE PRESIDENT!Think Conyers heard it that time?A few other things we cover on this somewhat-cobbled-together episode:
Dan Rather's take-that speech before the National Press Corps
The Green Party's take on the impeachment of Bush, or, to paraphrase, "What exactly is keeping you guys?"
Decisions of the Green National Committee (yeah, try finding these for the Democrats or Republicans!)
Green Party Watch, from Gregg Jocoy and Ronald Hardy!
The Palm Beach County Green Party. Support these folks! Go there and donate!
"Show Us Some Green" - A national political party needs money to function?? Who'da thunk?
Music for this show comes from Doug MacLeod - and it's one you'll be humming along to all week!Image licensed under a Creative Commons License by bloodforoil.org. | |
| #14 - Drag Race | |
| 5/15/2008 | Download File (38.93 MB) | |
| A mish-mosh of items this time around. Lisa returns to help Steve discuss the Green primaries, Wal-Mart, Jenna's wedding, the Orioles, the U.S. Patent Office, the D.C. Madam, Fox Noise, and conspiracy theories. And all this without getting into women's clothing! (Well, okay, Lisa did. And we think Mark Penn did, too, but don't hold us to that.)
MSNBC: Kansas firm sells candid Wal-Mart videos. Comedy gold! In drag!
NYT: Questions on the validity of 46 judges. Remember that thing called "The Constitution"? Whaddevah happened to that, anyway?
Wikipedia: Controversy surrounding the circumstances of her (the D.C. Madam's) death.
Crooks and Liars (not Think Progress): Working class = Low-class
Plus, some great music from Black Nite Crash (and not from an '80s movie). Go there, and buy their new album, Array! (It's available soon!) | |
| #13 - Calling for a Chainsaw | |
| 5/1/2008 | Download File (36.22 MB) | |
| It's a solo effort by Steve this time - which is enough to make anyone want to break out the chainsaws. In this episode:
Green Party press release on how the election's going so far (not that
anyone watching the MSM would know...)
Philadelphia Daily News: Would Obama prosecute Bush
administration officials?
New York Times: Behind TV analysts, Pentagon's Hidden
Hand by David Barstow
Leo Strauss at Sourcewatch
Baltimore Sun: Guess who's coming to
town?
BG&E (remember that "&"!) hikes rates yet
again...and a graphic to prove it
Plus, get with the sounds of New 2 the Brain and Moral Decline! The first is
self-described as "music for your brain", which we can definitely get down with; the second
is...let's say "music for your gonads". And we hate to do this, but, okay...WARNING! Moral Decline uses some of the Seven Words You Can't Say on TV in this song...and it also has the potential to cause
widespread moral panic in these here United States, and may even make people stop watching reality television and start using their
brains for something other than a hat rack.
"Mah Gawd, Ethel! What'll those subversive, pinko Greens think of next??"
And leave comments, people! Mahalo.

| 4/18/2008 | Download File (41.55 MB) | |
| (Apologies to Dan'l Webster for the title...)This episode, an exclusive interview with Sen. Mike Gravel, former Senator from the state of Alaska, and current Presidential candidate from the Democratic Libertarian Party! Also, news from all four(!) parties, and a special report on unions in America (hint: we're in favor!)

A Muzzle to the Texas Democrats for keeping Kucinich off the ballot

| #11 - The Real Real Thing | |
| 4/1/2008 | Download File (48.41 MB) | |
| Everybody grab a chair when the music stops! In this episode, Mike Gravel ends up with the Libertarian Party, Harry Reid ends up in the smoke-filled room at the back of DNC Headquarters, and random Canadian conservatives end up in their basement fallout shelters, protecting themselves diligently from those durn Green "facists". (Jonah Goldberg, call your office! But do it on the secure Bat-phone - you never know when they might be listening!)Also, music from Vanessa Peters and Ice Cream on Mondays (and thankfully not from Bo Bice!). And finally, Steve delivers an Olbermannesque "special commentary", with music from Blowin' Chunks! Our promo this episode was for One Eighteen: Migration...Other items of note:
The Major Leagues' answer to the Green Party! (Though I think the Green Party can pitch better...)
"The Hits Just Keep on Comin'" at The Hidden Message
Let's hear it for Fair Use! Take that, RIAA!
GK and the Renegades have some friends on this side of the pond (besides us!) Also, tour dates for all of you in England!

| #10 - Who Let the Cat Out? | |
| 3/22/2008 | Download File (38.86 MB) | |
| The Green Party race heats up, with a support statement by Mike Gravel for Jesse Johnson, and Nader's supporters scattering to different candidates. Obama gains the upper hand over Clinton with a YouTube-fave speech, while McCain ponders his choice of running mate...and here at the Frequency, the cat goes ballistic and we try to hook up Lisa with a Green "dream date". Let's just say Edward R. Murrow can rest easy.But in this episode, we take a giant step towards professionalism by firing Magic Voice and instead hiring Dorothy to be our announcer!Also in the show this time:
Marc Steiner's blog and the soon-to-be-up Website of the Center for Emerging Media. Go visit and support them!Green Party Podcast Directory. Add a link, you know you want to.
Green Party Passions. Face it, Greens make better lovers!The Spark Effect. STILL provided our closing theme.
