You might call it “The DesiCast“, as Desi Doyen of The BRAD BLOG’s Green News Report sat in for me at the last minute to guest host The BradCast this week on KPFK/Pacifica Radio as my jury duty continues.
It was her first time going it alone. And I haven’t even been able to listen to it myself yet. So, you’ll have to let me know how she did.
Her guests: Water resources expert Matthew Heberger of the Pacific Institute on the scramble to address California’s epic, record drought with billion-dollar infrastructure projects (but is a dam worth a damn if the rain doesn’t come?) and the impacts of climate change on water security around the world. Then David O. Atkins of the Yes on Measure P campaign on why Big Oil is spending millions to stop a local ballot measure to limit fracking in Santa Barbara. Then, a visit from our old friend Margot Paez on her new experiment now set to launch on NASA’s next Mars Rover in 2020!
All that, and a bit more (so she tells me), on Desi’s maiden outing at the helm (during which she overcame enormous odds, like a power outage in the entire station just moments before air time! Thrilling!), on this week’s BradCast…
Serendipitous coincidence! I’m 8 minutes into listening to the DesiCast, sipping coffee and catching up on my RSS feed when, lo and behold, up pops this blog post!
So far, so good. Great start to my day!
If I had been simply “going through the dial and stumbled upon your show by accident” like some right wing troll, I would have thought Desi was a veteran show host. Superb!
