    RALPH NADER RADIO HOUR EP 236 TRANSCRIPT David Feldman: From the KPFK Studios in Southern California… Steve Skrovan: … It’s the Ralph Nader Radio Hour. “Stand up, stand up You’ve been sitting way too long” Steve Skrovan: Welcome to the Ralph Nader Radio Hour. My name is Steve Skrovan. My co-host David Feldman is observing Yom Kippur as we record this. He’s atoning, which is ironic because I think one of the things I expect him to atone for is not being here today. So it’s just kind of a vicious circle for him. But we also have the man of the hour, Ralph Nader. Hello Ralph. Ralph Nader: Hello everybody. Steve Skrovan: We have another special program today. In a lot of ways, our guest today, Phil Donahue, is the father of us all here in broadcasting, not to mention podcasting. That’s because the original Phil Donahue Show was born in Dayton, Ohio--not exactly a travel hub for the country’s movers and shakers. His show was one of the first, if not the first, if I’m not mistaken, to use conference-call technology to engage with guests on the phone who couldn’t make the trip to Dayton. On our show here, we do much the same thing, except we’re all in remote locations. I’m in Los Angeles, David is generally in New York, Ralph is in D.C., and our guests have come to us from all over the country and the world. So Phil Donahue literally invented the modern daytime talk show.

  • BSK Starts at Minute 6:26 Doug Is Currently Writing the Latest Book In
    BSK Starts at Minute 6:26 Doug is currently writing the latest book in his novel series. In it, his lead character becomes an assassin out of necessity, and that leads to an examination of the morality of such a career. Doug discusses the last commodity peak back in 2011 which is already seven years ago. This bear market is quite long, and most commodities are down at least 50 percent not factoring in inflation of the dollar. The junior markets are quite illiquid, and that makes it difficult to obtain sizable positions in them. Private placements are useful because you buy shares directly from the company. However, it takes awhile to be able to sell the stocks. Even if you lose money on the first trade, you will still have the option to buy using your warrant for two to five years. You want to buy when others are timid. You want to be careful when everyone else is being bold. Right now no one wants to hear about the junior resource sector so now is the ideal time to get in. Uranium may be Doug's favorite commodity. He has been involved with uranium and related companies for a long time. The price of uranium today is as low as it was in 1998 since the dollar is worth a lot less today. He is expecting very big returns. One of the companies he likes is Blue Sky who are doing uranium development in Argentina, and that country is open for business. Doug feels that Trump is doing a reasonable job although he lacks a philosophical core.

    Ralph Nader Radio Hour Episode 118 Transcript Phil Donahue, James Cullen Steve Skrovan: Welcome to the Ralph Nader Radio Hour. My name is Steve Skrovan along with the man of the hour Ralph Nader. Hello, Ralph. How are you today? Ralph Nader: Good. We have a wonderful show today. Steve Skrovan: Yes. I’m very excited about the show today. In the second half of the show, we will be talking to James Cullen, editor of the Progressive Populist Magazine which as it’s title might suggest is one of the leading voices in the progressive movement. Ralph has sung the magazine’s praises frequently in this program. As always, we will check in with the corporate crime reporter Russell Mokhiber, the Stephanie Plum of the corporate crime beat. But, first, we’re going to talk about war and the media with a man who is a legend of the television industry. Our first guest, Phil Donahue, literally invented the modern daytime talk show. “The Phil Donahue Show” had a nearly thirty year run on American television that along the way garnered him twenty Emmy awards. The show touched on the serous social and political issues of the day and was the first to include audience participation. And, if I’m not mistaken, our very own Ralph Nader holds the record for the most appearances on the “Donahue” program. A few years after that run ended, Mr. Donahue hosted a similar show in MSNBC and was abruptly terminated shortly before the launch of the Iraq war. An internal MSNBC memo was leaked to the press stating that Donahue should be fired, because he opposed the eminent invasion and that he would be “difficult public face for NBC in a time of war.” Over the years, Mr.

Most of the writers asked for the 'Living Proof' brochure which Donahue displayed and which includes the Biblical plan for becoming a Christian. Many commented on the five 30­ second testimonies of well-known people shown during the hour-long talk show.

  • Out in Public: Reflecting on Experience
    OIPC01 11/27/08 6:37 PM Page 25 Part I Out in Public: Reflecting on Experience OIPC01 11/27/08 6:37 PM Page 26 OIPC01 11/27/08 6:37 PM Page 27 Chapter 1 My Date with Phil Donahue: A Queer Intellectual in TV-Land Esther Newton In 1994 I had a journalist girlfriend named Jane Rosette who had spent ten years covering the AIDS epidemic. Wise in the ways of that to me unfamiliar realm, she would frequently disparage this or that activist or public figure as a real “media slut,” someone who would do anything to get their opinion noticed by the press or their face on TV. That fall my media promiscuity quotient would be tested when a woman who introduced herself as a producer for the Phil Donahue television talk show telephoned. She invited me with alluring flattery (“we understand you are a nationally known expert on female impersonation”), to appear on the show, along with the three lead actors, Terence Stamp, Hugo Weaving, and Guy Pearce, from the newly released Australian film, Priscilla, Queen of the Desert and “some others”, to be taped about three days hence. As I fell over myself agreeing to do the show I could hear Jane’s voice in my head whispering, “media slut.” There are good reasons why progressive intellectuals are rarely seen on American television. Our politics and our whole enterprise are disrespected by the powerful, and with the role of the public intellectual shrinking, particularly on the left, we have mostly retreated into academia where our opinions are seldom asked by the outside world and we mostly say we don’t care.
