If you missed last night’s BRAD SHOW, well, what were you thinking?! 🙂
Frankly, I could have turned around and done four mour hours with each of our amazing guests last night! If you didn’t catch it, or any portion of the show, I’d strongly recommend that you tune into the BRAD SHOW ARCHIVES and listen to ’em all if you find the time! We do believe it was some top-notch radio with some extraordinary guests and a few newsworthy items amongst the interviews!
A couple of quick post-show thoughts, stuff that didn’t get on air, and a few other reminders of note…
We will keep giving away signed copies of Bob Fitrakis’ book, “Did George W. Bush Steal America’s 2004 Election? Essential Documents” (and we’ll attempt to have them specifically signed to you by Bob himself when he’s in town next week on his book tour) for a donation of $100 to the BRAD BLOG/BRAD SHOW. Over 700 pages of evidence in this just-published tome, including the entire Conyers Report! As they say…Act now! Only while supplies last!
(Otherwise, unsigned copies are available for $30 via FreePress.org. I will be appearing with Bob at his event in Santa Monica on June 19th, by the way, if you’re in the hood and wanna say hello! More details on his SoCal booktour here).
I spoke shortly after the show to the legendary Freeway Blogger whose time on the show was cut a bit shorter due to carrying Ray McGovern over for a few minutes into his hour. “Freeway” mentioned to me something that he’d wanted to say on air, but we didn’t get to, and that is: Posting signs on the freeway is “not only useful for getting the message out…but it’s also incredibly fun!”. He went on to mention the adrenaline rush that one gets busting out of their car, posting their freeway sign quickly, and getting out before getting busted…Try it yourself sometime! And he’s promised to join us “in-studio” next time he’s down in the L.A. area on a Saturday evening.
A reminder that 27-year CIA Analyst, Ray McGovern, will be testifying at John Conyers’ heaings on the Downing Street Minutes this Thursday, and they both request that we call C-SPAN and ask them to carry the hearings LIVE! Contact C-SPAN at (202) 737-3220 and via email at events@c-span.org.
Both of the above mentioned interviews may have contained some newsworthy items. Trouble is, I’m unable to transcribe them or even summarize BRAD SHOW interviews for the most part, largely due to time constraints (having none left for nothin’) as I’m sure you can understand. It’s been suggested BRAD BLOGGERS organize to work out something like that, which would likely help the entire enterprise as word continues to get out. I’d welcome any such organization, of course. Just can’t do it myself for the moment 🙁
Thanks to RAW STORY’s John Byrne for busting in to the show with last night’s breaking news out of London, concerning the latest “bomb” to drop in the Downing Street Minutes saga. We pledge to keep bringing you the latest as it happens on Saturday Night’s shows while the rest of the Media is usually taking the night off (like they do on most of the other nights anyway).
The great song, “My Vote Don’t Matter Anymore” that we played in the final five minutes of the show (and as mentioned in Robert Koehler’s latest column) was by Victoria Parks, and is available for download via her website, www.VictoriaParks.com”.
Please let folks know about your favorite hours, available via www.BradShow.com, let ’em know when we’re on LIVE (Saturdays 7p-11p ET, 4p-8p PT), and then feel free to call and write your favorite local radio stations and ask them to carry The BRAD SHOW via RAW RADIO! Ask them to contact the IBC Radio Network at IBCRadio.com or via email at Office@IBCRadio.com. Request that they carry the show live on the air in your home town!
Again…thanks for all of your support! And we’ll keep it up as long as we can afford to! 🙂
just wanted to let you know, I’ve had a friend of mine over on saturday nights when I am listening to the show, so that ‘s why I am not posting much. however, good news is . . . your show has made a convert. I would try and tell him things and while a liberal dem, he was programmed about giving into conspiracies.
No more . . he is a convert and was plotting ways last night of freeway blogging. 🙂 He’s bringing me cardboard. 🙂
Cheers!

Hi, just wanted to confirm the fun of freeway blogging. My hubby and I have done about 20 three ft x three ft signs in our town. Many along the interstate. Our first interstate blogging was five signs spread out. Sign 1 said "Bush" next one said "pull out" number three was "like" followed by "your daddy" and the last one was "should have" They were spaced out for easy reading of "Bush, Pull out like your daddy should have"
They didn’t last long. We did many other signs about town taking turns being the driver or the hanger. Our last set was along the interstate. About 6 different signs. We had to walk along a railroad track and climb to within inches of the interstate but we were actually under it,(or sitting on the ledge of the bridge. No danger but exciting) to get into place. After hanging our signs we had dissident sex under a pine tree along the interstate.
It really is getting fun. Try it. :hehe: 😛 :satisfied:
Freeway blogging! Let’s get it on!
by the way, hubby and I are not young uns. Hubby is 50 and I am getting closer to that number myself. If we can freeway blog, YOU can freeway blog and have dissident freeway blogging sex too. (not with us though) :blush:
heheh you go ! We are in our 40’s. Never too old to freeway blog!!!
Linda and Jpenz –
Children!
sounds like the 60’s again
I am hoping the neocons implode and fall out of the republican party. I hope they drag those in the democratic party that are also brain dead with them.
Then we can bring some sanity into the process of healing America of the madness of the possibly worst past five years in our history.
…..The Freeway of Love and Dissent!
Love that image!!
(( smirks )) 😉 I think brad played that song yesterday
I called into show when I realized Bob Fitrakis was on. I have been a regular visitor to his website since the "election." I regret not thanking him for all the work he has done documenting and fighting for the truth, but I was nervous and just wanted to comment on how obvious I find it that Bush/Rove/Blackwell stole the election. A president with an approval rating of 43% less than 6 mos into his second term? Exit polls swinging 5 points in the other direction…. The MSM sucks. Thank you Bob, and Brad for all the work you do fighting for and reporting the truth.
I am one of the people who suggested to Brad that we try to get together transcripts of the shows that could be posted on the BB and BR sites, to make them available for internet searches and citations.
As you can see above, Brad can’t organize this effort. I am organizationally-impaired, but I am a fast typist, so I volunteer to do my bit on that account.
I thought that the interview with McGovern was particularly excellent, and this might be a great place to start this experiment. Is there anyone out there in the 6 or 7 who would be willing to organize this effort, and can post their email publically? But doesn’t want to transcribe, isn’t a fast typist, etc? I suggest dividing the McGovern interview up into 10 or 15 minute chunks, and have a different volunteer of the 6 or 7 transcribe each chunk, then email it to the organizer volunteer, who could then put it together as a full transcript (word document). If we settled beforehand on a few stylistic things then it would make the job of the organizer easier. In the meantime, I’ll experiment with transcribing the McGovern interview from the top, just to see how it goes.
Anyone else?
BTW, each hour of the show is broken up into three blocks. The first part is always 22 minutes or so (working from memory here), the second is about 15 and the final seg is about 5 minutes.
You may want to break it up that way so there’s no overlapping if different folks work on the same hour.
