Radio Democracy Playlist 24/09/08

On the show this week we spoke with Coral Wynter and Jim McIlroy, authors of Voices from Venezuela: Behind the Bolivarian Revolution. The book is a compendium of a year's worth of articles filed for Green Left Weekly in 2006, during which time Jim and Coral were correspondents for GLW in the capital Caracas. It also contains a selection of transcripts from some of the 400 interviews conducted during this time, many of which are with grassroots activists within the process of change taking place in that country.

The book is available through Resistance Books.

We also heard another excerpt from Dr Helen Caldicott's If You Love This Planet, with Helen's interview with Dr. James Hansen, an outspoken critic of the coal industry for its role in climate change.

Stay tuned for information about this week's climate emergency actions and more on the Lex Wotton case in coming weeks.

If you have any requests or would like to get in touch for any other reason, call the studio on 3252 1555 during the show, or email negroverdeyrojo@gmail.com.

Stay rad.
