My Radio Show - streaming out of sydney, and some podcasts

General
1

I’ve announced it here before ( April 2016), but in discussion with @AndrewDowning and @MarkG , thought I would let people know of my community radio program, which I broadcast on Tuesdays from noon-2pm from Marrickville in Sydney on radio 2RSR, 88.9FM and also streaming on http://184.172.153.2/stream/1720/radioskidrow.mp3 and http://www.radioskidrow.org/ . I’ll make another post following this one about tomorrow’s program.

But there’s some past programs on the internet, including some discussion with MarkG on prosperity : https://soundcloud.com/radio-skid-row/roving-spotlight-mark-gibbons-on-wage-stagnation-and-prosperity-308 and a whole show, including Terry Dwyer on some aspects of land value taxation ( watch out for his “Just a lump sum capitalisation” - uggh - something I should have questioned him about ) : https://soundcloud.com/radio-skid-row/roving-spotlight-tuesday-12pm-2pm-02-08-16

I’ve had other discussions with MarkG I may release at some stage.

And you can find more public material with a search on soundcloud :

On my show tomorrow - I’ll have James Murray on Bitcoin, Black Rock’s Alladin - the crystal ball gazing tool noted in Adam Curtis’ Hypernormalisation and the nature of money and the banks.

That’s noon-2pm tomorrow on 2RSR, 88.9FM and streaming as per the most recent post.

James Murray is an economist, previously employed by some high end banks, with a long involvement in financial activism including Georgist principles, and was kind enough to help me hand out material in support of my local government candidacy.

Bonnie Curtis on her Sydney Fringe Dance project - “Girls Girls Girls”.

I hope to fit in various segments - spoken word, location, maxim

Tomorrow - I’ll be talking about UBI, in the shadow of the Greens initiative. Also I’ll be interviewing Professor Ian Frazer, and a few other things besides. Anyway, my show is always worth listening to ( of course ), but here’s my sporadic pointer to its content.

What does everyone think about linking some of the episodes on the front page? @national_council ?

It will freshen things up a bit, and although it’s not officially endorsed we could pick specific episodes that talk about things on our platform.

Yeah, Mark wrote most of our economic policies, except the recent Job Guarantee stuff.

I think he’s spot on. Rent seeking business models are a blight on the entire economic landscape.

I’ve had some discussions with @Kate_Bowman and @SaraJoyce and thought I’d post some links to my past material which includes material relevant to at least discussions we’ve had, and perhaps even stuff that is of general PPA interest.

( @twisty, @Cizin, @miles_w maybe of interest )

First, links to past podcasts : you’ll find them at the top of this post. But, also, you can search at : https://soundcloud.com/search?q=Roving%20Spotlight ; you can find stuff on copyright, economics and so forth, as well as stuff generally.

On my own website, there’s an article which considers some of the language used in criticism of Julia Gillard, amongst several other topics :

https://johnaugust.com.au/article/clangers-current-political-debate

An article on boycotts, has some bearing on the stuff about projecting on the opera house sails, where the racecourse does not have to worry about people being pissed off with them, like the small restaurant, but the government is more like the big business :

http://lawcrimepolitics.com/lets-alan-jones

An article, notionally on Turnbull and Abbott, but also one which talks about Lleyonheljm and the Wicked campers, the idea of ideology driving priorities, Abbott teaching the Australian people to hate whoever was in power ( like germ warfare ), and the idea of a “balance” in voters heads, where they could see the point in business, but saw that Howard was going “too far” with work choices, and were willing to give a government some slack but not entirely buy into their ideology. That also includes double standards about free speech, which I also comment on :

https://johnaugust.com.au/article/turnbull-and-abbott-watching-morbid-fascination

Then, there’s one on intellectual property :

https://johnaugust.com.au/article/copyright-patents-enclosures-commons-and-trans-pacific-partnership

… And many more, but that will do for the present :slight_smile:

John A. I have a Naval Club to run featuring a Melbourne Cup event. However, I have a very good manager that may allow me to tune in. I now have it in my cell phone reminder & you have my word that I’ll do my best to be a regular listener.

Thank you for the prompt and any future ‘heads up’ on emerging subjects of interest.
