Try to Catch the Goodmans' Tour

One reason I'm happy to be living in Albuquerque now is that, for the first time, I have radio access to Amy Goodman's fantastically gutsy and often controversial show, Democracy Now. Today, for instance, as I was driving in to work I was listening to David Corn (The Nation) and Michael Isikoff (Newsweek) discussing their new book Hubris: The Inside Story of Spin, Scandal, and the Selling of the Iraq War. I've been reading about this book, as well as reading some excerpts from it, so today's show was what the show always is, it seems, quite timely.

Not only can I listen to the show, but later this month I'll be able to hear both Amy Goodman and David, her brother, in person when they visit New Mexico on their 80 city Breaking the Sound Barrier Tour celebrating the show's tenth anniversary as well as the publication of the sister/brother duo's new book Static: Government Liars, Media Cheerleaders and the People Who Fight Back. Find out if your city is on the tour, and if so where and when, here. It's a killer schedule, including the two days in New Mexico - on one of which Amy Goodman will be speaking in tandem with Seymour Hersh at the Lensic in Santa Fe. Probably won't be able to make that, though wouldn't that be more truth than most people can stand at one time?, but I will catch the UNM stop the next evening. Amy Goodman is a hero of our time, if you listen to her show you know you'll hear things the MSM wouldn't touch with a ten foot pole.
