Special Guest in the Studio: David Barsamian of Alternative Radio, Boulder, CO

David Barsamian was in town on a regional tour (his first visit to Idaho!) to give lectures in Moscow and Spokane. David spoke for 2 hrs. at Di Luna’s Cafe on a wide range of current topics: socio/political/military-industrial-complex/erosion of civil rights/corporate greed/ownership of our election system. He was very entertaining and gracious with his time. He was also in the studio to help with some promotional spots and enjoyed the bounty of area gardens as a token of our fondness for coming in to KRFY. Thanks again David for being a voice of reason in the current darkness descending on the eco/politic/enviro landscape of America..
