> We are a brand new show, in old and new media. (The next email you get
> from me might be from *UnscrewAmerica*, or *GritTV*.) The host and driving
> force of the project is Laura Flanders <http://lauraflanders.com/>,
> currently of RadioNation on Air America. Laura will be conducting
> interviews and hosting debates in studio, but a full quarter of the
> program will be viewer and partner-generated material: commentaries, news
> pieces, satires, documentaries in progress and how-tos. We’ll post the
> segments on line for a while with a link back to your site, as well as
> embed it in the daily show.
>
> I would love to see radical gardeners represented, so send me your tapes!
> If you’ve produced a piece for your website about composting, or community
> gardens, let me know. Send me a link! Your submissions and suggestions are
> very welcome.
>
> Please feel free to pass my information along to anyone with work already
> made or in production that you think fits the bill. There’s a regular
> segment of works-in-progress from documentary makers and social
> justice-minded producers of culture.
>
> The studio element is a mix of community activists, authors, the biggies
> in progressive politics, thinkers of all sorts. We’ll cover a very broad
> range of topics.
>
> The show will air weeknights on FreeSpeechTV (Dish Network — and
> community access cable and college stations) right after Democracy Now,
> and daily, noon, on political blog Firedoglake.com
> <http://firedoglake.com/>. (and, when it launches, on Robert Greenwald’s
> new web channel.)
>
> I think it will provide excellent exposure to some new audiences —
> especially the web outlets.
