Talking Candidly With the Candidates

I really enjoy your podcasts, but haven’t been to the website in a long time. I usually come to find what your bumper music is.
I’m disappointed in one thing–using Flash for the audio. Why? It’s the worst choice. MP3 is better, so is Real, even WMP is better than Flash. Can’t save it, can’t listen in a player; can’t even right-click to open in another window.
Thanks for taking the time and effort to create an excellent podcast, though. I’ve told a lot of friends. We’re voting for you.
Please get rid of the Flash!!! It’s awful. thx.

Hey Billy, great show… thanks for picking up the torch.

Betty, I have added additional Mp3 links on each post. hope that helps you out.

You were wondering why Dennis Kucinich doesn’t get deserved traction as a valid candidate, from the so-called ‘mainstream’ Left. I am a sincere Kucinich supporter, and I have met the man several times. I completely trust him and I know that he really listens to people and doesn’t spew canned answers. He has great ideas, a true visionary man who wants to heal our ailing world.
It’s very frustrating to see him so often shunned by the media and minimalized by his critics. I think the issues that are used against him are 1) that he is a declared vegan who is strongly involved in animal rights, and 2) that he is not a tall person, actually surprisingly short alongside the typical large-framed types who usually seek positions of leadership. He never lets either of those ridiculous issues interfere with his position or message or sincerity, but the media contest mentality tends to focus on trivial details. Dennis Kucinich is a person of huge stature, and he deserves a much larger media presence. Don’t let the traditional political ‘good old boy’ network exclude people like Dennis from our attention and from the real debates that need to happen for change to be possible.
