LIVE liberal streaming radio from Chicago -- 10am-2pm -- Whatta lineup!

[Bozita]

IMHO, "This is Hell!" is the gold standard for college radio.

 
This Day in Hell

This is Hell airs live, Saturday, March 18th, from 9 AM till 1 PM (US central time) on WNUR 89.3 FM Evanston/Chicago. We also are broadcast live online via WNUR's web site (http://www.wnur.org) under the heading, "Listen Online." You can also listen to past shows in our Archives broadcast in several formats including our podcast.

This Saturday, we'll talk with the man who started Air America and we'll learn about this week's disastrous oil spill in Alaska and how the Senate opened up the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to drilling. We'll discuss the South Dakota abortion ban from a Native American women's health leader. In the wake of last Friday's 100,000 plus person march and rally for immigrants rights here in Chicago, we'll speak with an immigrants' rights activist. And we'll get you all pumped up for this weekend's antiwar marches by hearing from one of the few unembedded journalists who was in Iraq, followed by a live report from the antiwar protests in DC..

This past Saturday's broadcast is now podcast online.

Last week, we talked about how $800 billion could be saved in the Medicare prescription plan, we learned how the neocons caused Iraq's sectarian violence, we were reminded of what a bad idea privatization is, and we went back in the voting booth to find the future of voting reform.

To listen to this week's show, already posted online, just go to our Archives.

Since 1999, This is Hell has been covering the problems with privatization, the misconceptions US foreign policy embraces when it comes to the Middle East, and the problems with our voting system. During the broadcast, we asked our listeners to email us and tell us what progress, if any, they have seen in the last seven years and what you - our listening audience - believe could be done to address these problems.

We've already heard from some of you freaks, and we'd love to hear from more of you. So drop us a line by emailing us here.
