George Galloway - Mother of All Talk Shows in New York

[faceless]

nice one Major, it's added to the archive page now

edit: I just listened in full and good quality and it was probably one of the best Galloway shows in years. The exit to the music at the end was perfect.

Today's show: link

Not very high quality (acoustics or content). The first 1/2 features GG's Bin Laden assassination theory; the 2nd is consumed by fund-raising for WBAI.

[faceless]

that's it added in - I don't know what GG's talking about with this ISDN line costing him so much... he should be doing it on skype!

Anyway, here's the website of the guest talking about anti-arab racism in America.

George said Obama instead of Osama...

Just after 22 mins :-)

Even George is doing it!!!

[faceless]

pr, that bit was about Obama - I just checked...

I thought it happened a couple of times, but may have misheard.

btw, today's episode is now available in HQ: 2011-05-11 MoATS.mp3 (27 MB).



(I believe the issues I've had saving the HQ stream are now resolved. Fingers crossed.)

It's annoying that the show got cut by about 15 minutes for fund raising - buy hey, what can you do?

[modern]

No show, today???

edit - it appears not, unless they've messed up the archives

edit edit - looks like he blew it out for 5 minutes on the jeremey vine show talking about the queens visit to ireland

http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b01131q0/Jeremy_Vine_The_Queens_historic_visit_to_Ireland/

starts about 13.50 in

I put the Jeremy Vine clip on the archive page yesterday...

I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't continue the WBAI show as the technical limitations were pretty bad, and now that he's back on talkSPORT he probably doesn't feel the need to pay for it himself.

[luke]

you're quick!

it'll be a shame if it doesn't continue - but if he does they do need to sort out the technical problems.

[faceless]

for once he seems he be using FB to actually keep people updated about press appearances - there's loads of bits over the years that could have been grabbed if only we'd been told about it in advance.

Sorry for no HQ version this week. Just got home to find out the issue I thought I'd sorted isn't. I'll try again next week. (Linux scripting is tricky.)

Update: I think I spotted the problem. It was what we in the tech biz call an "ID-10-T" (idiot) error.

[major.tom]

Today's episode will be up within the hour!

(I was surprised; thought he'd abandon WBAI.)

In more good news, the "fun" drive is over, so no more pleas to ring those phones.

Here it is: 2011-06-01 MoATS.mp3 (25 MB mp3)
