Breaking the Chains of Debt: Jubilee 2000
Njoki Njehu
Third World countries are reeling under staggering debt. The World Bank and the IMF impose punitive austerity programs which result in massive cuts in vital social services like education and health.

Creating a New Party: Learning from Canada
Elaine Bernard
In 1992 billionaire Ross Perot, running as an independent, received almost twenty percent of the presidential vote. Many Americans are clearly discontented with the traditional Republican and Democratic parties. Citizens, if they vote at all, often cast their ballots against rather than for candidates. Can a new party take root in the United States? Perhaps […]
Genocide Denial
Israel Charny
The twentieth century is stained by death marches, gas chambers and killing fields. Genocide begins in Armenia, peaks in Europe and ends in Rwanda. It is difficult to refute the enormity of mass murder, yet deniers attempt to do so by revising and falsifying history. The Turkish government has taken denial to a new level […]
Economic Inequality: The Growing Divide
Chuck Collins
The old saying goes: The rich get richer, and the poor get poorer. Numerous studies and reports document a sharp escalation in the gap in income.

Afghanistan: War & Occupation
James Ingalls, Sonali Kolhatkar
Afghanistan has always been the sideshow to the main event in Iraq. In the last year, the situation in that impoverished, war-ravaged, land-locked Central Asian country has gone from bad to worse. While U.S. favorite Hamid Karzai sits in Kabul, events outside the capital are deteriorating. Warlords divide regions into fiefdoms. Opium production is at […]
From Sand Creek & Other Poems
Simon Ortiz
This is a deeply evocative program. Simon Ortiz has a captivating voice and a subtle artistic sensitivity. He talks about his background and influences that have informed his worldview, poetry and prose. He reads from his classic work “From Sand Creek,” which depicts the 1864 massacre in Colorado of defenseless Arapahoe and Cheyenne by the […]
Election 2000: A Space Odyssey
Jim Hightower
The election season is upon us. The campaign coffers are overflowing. The pundits are pontificating and the pollsters are polling. But election 2000 is hardly creating a ripple of interest. Voter turnouts will probably set new lows. Democracy, such as it is, withers. Recorded at Colorado College.
