So long! It's been fun.
Dear listeners,
In July 2011 I started a new job teaching Italian at Kansas State University. In some ways this was a return to my roots, as I taught English as a Foreign Language for 17 years in Italy. Now I am teaching English speakers Italian. I've come full circle.
This coming full circle also means the end of an attempt on my part to start a new career in my 50s. Sadly, as much as I tried to bring community radio to Manhattan, I was not successful. So I have decided to dedicate my energy and time to my first love, being an educator.
The archive of my shows will remain active - there's a lot of great content in the shows. So I hope you continue to listen and enjoy them.
Once again thank you for your support and encouragement over the five years the show was on the air. I know many feel that my program needs to be on the air and I agree with you that a diversity of voices is sorely lacking in the local media. But alas, it is not I who will bring that diversity. It will have to be someone else.

PDF Download: "Rightwing Extremism: Current Economic and Political Climate Fueling Resurgence in Radicalization and Recruitment"We discuss this document on this week's show. It was released in April by the Department of Homeland Security and caused the Republicans and right-wing pundits to rail against its contents. The killing of Dr. George Tiller and the attack on the Holocaust Museum in Washington DC has confirmed the reports findings and raise serious questions about the Republican's motivation for attacking the report. A Global Recovery for a Global Recession Joseph E. Stiglitz writes in The Nation: "A poorly designed and insufficient stimulus means that the downturn will last longer, the recovery will be slower and there will be more innocent victims. Among these victims are the many developing countries--including those that have had far better regulatory and macroeconomic policies than the United States and some European countries. In the United States a financial crisis transformed itself into an economic crisis; in many developing countries the economic downturn is creating a financial crisis."Recommended Audio: GRIT TV Media Roundtable
