VFR Board Nominees urgently needed for upcoming election

September 28th, 2008 Posted by Bill Baue

Previous board experience is not required. Some experience with the station or general knowledge of community radio is helpful but even that is not mandatory. So, if you think you couldn’t possibly be eligible to be on the board, think again. Mostly, you need to be alive and kicking and willing to do some work for the good of the station.

The Mountaintop Removal Enviro Show

September 26th, 2008 Posted by Enviro Show

Greetings Earthlings. First of all, have you supported your community radio station yet? Send in your pledge ‘cuz we be on the ledge! (along with all those Wall Street brokers? Eeoooowww! ) ON TO THE SHOW: Well, we went to the mountain and the mountain was gone. We get a call-in from Vernon Haltom and maybe Judy Bonds from <a href=”http://www.crmw.net/”>Coal River Mountain Watch</a> on the grim subject of King Coal and mountain top removal, a truly bogus way to mine coal. As always we’ll check-in with Darth Cheney, the boy emperor and the McSame campaign to see what sort of lame games they’re up to. We’ll get the Enviro Show Quote of the week and some news from the Echo Chamber, but first it’s time for…….Revenge of the Critters! An Enviro Show video blog special! <a href=”http://www.videosift.com/video/Angry-Elephant-Seal-Attacks-Cars”>Elephant seal trashes cars</a>! Another good reason to use a bike! <p>

A Baha’i Perspective 09.20.2008

September 21st, 2008 Posted by Warren Odess-Gillett

Warren Odess-Gillett interviews Dorothy Hansen, an 82-year old Baha’i who had a career in television in the fifties with a TV show in California called Dottie Hansen’s High Time, which was a teenage dance show. The unique thing about Dorothy’s show at that time was that it was racially integrated, which at times got her into trouble. Like the time she danced with an African-American on the show. She was threatened to be taken off the air. Her show ultimately won an Emmy. After becoming a Baha’i, Dorothy traveled to more than 50 countries.
