The podcast-only thread

[judasdisney]

Just a note:

"Yahoo Podcasts" is being discontinued on October 31, 2007.

I have found this site to be a valuable clearinghouse for mp3s and podcasts that are not available via iTunes or Odeo, such as the following:

Off-Grid Living

More Off-Grid Living

Hopsicker

more Hopsicker

Gary Webb

Other obscure history, science, tech, and esoterica topics are also available.

I live for my weekly fix of Guns and Butter, hosted by Bonnie Faulkner on KPFA in Berkley on Wednesday afternoon.

Official site: (Good for past shows, because they provide a good summary, and you can download the mp3)
http://www.gunsandbutter.net/

I find that the KPFA website is updated quicker, if you miss the stream on Wednesdays. You can play the mp3 right on the site.

C-Realm Podcasts

I stumbled on this and came in on this episode (which I really enjoyed)

Catherine Austin Fitts (short interview on narco dollars/tapeworm economy/popsicle index) and Terence Mckenna (snippet on how culture and ideology are 'not your friend') in the same episode... woot!

I've tried a few others and they all seem very interesting. Seems to edge a bit around CT (not in a dismissive way), but lots of info on sustainability, pychedelic drugs, and the 'singularity'. The podcaster has the mildly pleasant voice of a classical music radio station dj. Recommended.

Affirmative...love this thread and appreciate all that contribute to it...I usually listen when I crawl in bed at night.

Me too... I ♥ good, informative audio. Anything to save me from listening to Alex Jones, lol. At some point I have to stop reading and get work done, and audio helps keep me informed while I do the drudgery...

I found this site while searching for a Hopsicker podcast (they have one):

http://www.breakfornews.com/Audio.htm

I haven't listened to it yet, I'm downloading it right now. I know nothing about the site or the quality of the podcasts.

Edit: Never mind the Hopsicker podcast, Hopsicker's interview is only about 5 minutes long and so bad, that I was embarrassed for both him and the interviewer.

I do recommend that interview highly, if you're interested in Hopsicker. It's entirely revealing of Hopsicker's character, and makes me question whether Hopsicker's being used or fed, as a puppet or as a disinfo leak channel. It seems hard to believe that a person of Hopsicker's apparent immaturity could feasibly cultivate relationships necessary for investigative reporting -- he appears to have the social skills of a disgruntled 11-year-old.

For another valuable mp3 link to a Chicago Public Radio interview with McClatchy newspapers' investigative reporters Jay Root and Kevin Hall -- and also Hopsicker -- on the topic of current CIA drug flights, see this link.

Antiwar Radio: Scott Horton Interviews Daniel Levy
Wednesday, November 21st, 2007 in News, War party, War on Terror, Iran, Israel, Antiwar Radio, Palestine, Syria, Neocons by Scott Horton| Comment |


Former Israeli diplomat Daniel Levy, now at the New America Foundation, discusses the upcoming Annapolis peace conference, the letter from the American establishment to Bush and Rice urging them to make real progress toward a two-state solution, the negative consequences of current American policy, the failure of the “roadmap to peace,” the lack of a real strategic purpose behind the occupation of the West Bank and Golan Heights, U.S. intervention to the detriment of an Israeli/Syrian peace deal, the blown opportunity to work with Hamas and the consequences, the effect of the neocons’ “Clean Break” doctrine on current policy, the contemptible myth that the origin of America and Israel’s problems in the Middle East are rooted in radical Islam rather than real grievances about circumstances here on earth and his belief that the U.S. should remain involved, but should start getting it right.

MP3 here. (33:30) http://wiredispatch.com/scott/07_11_21_levy.mp3

Daniel Levy is a Senior Fellow and Director of the Middle East Policy Initiative of the American Strategy Program at the New America Foundation. He was the lead Israeli drafter of the Geneva Initiative and directed policy planning and international efforts at the Geneva Campaign Headquarters in Tel Aviv. Previously, Mr. Levy served as senior policy adviser to former Israeli Minister of Justice, Yossi Beilin, and under the Barak government he worked in the prime minister’s office as a special adviser and head of the Jerusalem Affairs unit. He was a member of the Israeli delegation to the Taba negotiations with the Palestinians in January 2001, and of the negotiating team for the “Oslo B” Agreement from May to September 1995, under Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin.

As a Senior Fellow and Director of the Middle East Policy Initiative at the New America Foundation, Mr. Levy seeks to encourage thought-provoking debate and offer strategic solutions for resolving the long-running conflicts in the Middle East, core among them the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. He has published extensively in a broad range of publications including Ha’aretz, The Jerusalem Post, The Boston Globe, United Press International, The American Prospect, the International Herald Tribune, The Evening Standard (London), and the blog TPMCafe.
