i've been doing a few stories for kpsu's radio news. yesterday they aired my piece on kucinich judging the vegan cookie contest. last week they played my piece on bike theft. it isn't great, it was a bit of a learning process but i'm getting there.
today i went out to america votes' voter registration event. it was a great event and i got some good audio for next week's story. i had a great interview with the executive director of moveon.org, peter schurman, but in the process of trying to organize the tracks on the minidisc deleted it. i'm pretty pissed about it but i think i'll be able to do a pretty good story without it.
in the afternoon i went over to see amy goodman of democracy now speak as part of the tour promoting her book, the exception to the rulers. she's a very moving speaker. i was slightly nauseous for about half of her presentation as she detailed all the wonderful things the cia is doing in our name. listening to her arguments about the way the american media has worked to shape public perception of the war has me pretty fired up about perusing the independent journalism. not that i'm not planning on switching majors or anything but that's where a lot of my energy is going to be directed.
