It’s a real zoo out there!

Friday, June 19th, 2009

This weekend marks the official start of summer, and there’s no better season in New Mexico than summer.  There’s never a shortage of things to do and see across our great state.  And, one of the real jewels of the Albuquerque metro area is of course the zoo.  Host David Alire Garcia recently got the chance to catch up on the latest and greatest news at the zoo, and what he found may surprise you.  For starters, there’s a bit of a baby boom going on within the confines of the zoo.  But, that’s just the beginning of the hidden secrets ready to be unearthed this summer.  Watch the video below to find out more, and be sure to read David’s companion piece on the New Mexico Independent.

 

Fairness Doctrine & Online “On the Clock”

Friday, June 12th, 2009

Brian Jennings and the Fairness Doctrine

On our show this week, we promised you more information about guest Brian Jenning’s book Censorship: The Threat to Silence Talk Radio – The “New” Fairness Doctrine Exposed . You can find more information here.  Two interesting and contrasting articles, one from the Wall Street Journal and one from 24/7 News Online are also worth checking out.

You should also check out the article guest Tracy Dingmann wrote, which was published in the New Mexico Independent.

Dam(*) the Stopwatch, Full Speed Ahead!

Ever wish you could be seated at a table next to The Line folks when they had a chance to drop their guard just a little bit? With this online “On the Clock” you’ll get a peek at what can happen when the constricts of “broadcast time” are lifted and that “time’s up” is more a suggestion than a demand. They are an intelligent, passionate, and lively bunch – but you already knew that!

It says “Full Show” on the screen grab below, but it’s just the “On the Clock” segment.  To watch the broadcast episode,  go to the New Mexico In Focus main page – if it’s not the first one showing, you can look for Episode 250.

Gene Grant hosts this round table online special, with panelists Whitney Waite Cheshire, Jim Scarantino, Teresa Cordova, and Margaret Montoya.
