radio show on activist training

[Discussion list for COMM-ORG]

From:  steve_chase at verizon.net

ACT Radio, or Animal Concerns of Texas, is a bi-monthly, half-hour,  
radio show broadcast by co-hosts Greg Lawson, Steve Best, and Elizabeth  
Walsh on KTEP--the NPR station in El Paso. Every other Sunday evening  
at 7:30, these three activists offer a unique radio program that  
focuses on animals rights, human health, and related issues such as  
vegetarianism and environment activism. I was very pleased when Steve  
Best called the EAOP office and asked if he and Greg could interview me  
about activist training in general and the Environmental Advocacy and  
Organizing Program at Antioch University New England, in particular. I  
also loved that they chose to broadcast the twenty-three minute  
interview on their Earth Day show on April 22, 2007.

I have now received the permission of KTEP's general manager to offer  
this Earth Day edition of ACT Radio as a downloadable audio file  
through Real Player via the EAOP's "The Well-Trained Activist" 
blog.  
So, if you want to access links to ACT Radio or the interview, go to  
http://eaop-blog.blogspot.com. In the interview, I discuss my personal  
journey to activism, the growth of my concern for environmental issues,  
two of the key educational inspirations behind the Environmental  
Advocacy and Organizing Program, some key elements of the EAOP  
curriculum, and the importance of increasing the number and quality of  
activist training programs within institutions of higher learning.

While you are at "The Well-Trained Activist" blog, you can 
also check  
out my recent posts on the national conference on  
Psychology-Ecology-Sustainability in Portland, Oregon, including my  
most recent PES post on "avoiding ethical onesideness."

All my best,
Steve
