    Radio Ecoshock - The Free Speech Zone - Here Are This Week’s Topics:
    June 13th, 2013

    RADIO ECOSHOCK with ALEX SMITH

    Growing the Life You Want to Live ~ how do we make the change?   Life on the Farmstead with Lisa Kivirist.  Turning small scale food into a living.   Does it pay to go solar? Dan Chiras worked alternative energy for three decades, writing 30 books in the process. Plus a few minutes with an experienced solar designer and installer from Washington State, Brad Burkhartzmeyer.

    THE FREE SPEECH ZONE

    Tune in to The Free Speech Zone on Sunday night June 23rd at 7 pm to hear: US Imperialism Hopping on Just One Leg, a talk by Glen Ford, given at Trinity
    College Hartford CT on March 3rd 2013.  Glen Ford, a co-founder of the Black Agenda Report, says that much of American foreign policy - including
    military interventions in the Third World - is all about containing China. The US cannot compete with China economically because Wall Street sold off our
    manufacturing assets to inflate its own profits. To protect  corporate profits, the US’s only remaining source of power is its huge military - which the government is now wielding globally with blatant disregard of national sovereignty and international law. Recorded by  The Struggle (www.thestruggle.org).
    .

    On WSCA-LP 106.1 FM - Portsmouth Community Radio (streaming viawww.portsmouthcommunityradio.orgfor those outside the broadcast signal limits) 

    Then stay tuned for some great music on Lives In The Balance from 8 to 9 pm.

    Kind regards,  Brad  aka dj Big Brother

    “The people, unfortunately, are still very ignorant,
    and are kept in ignorance by the systematic efforts
    of all the governments, who consider this ignorance,
    not without good reason, as one of the essential
    conditions of their own power.”  ~ Mikhail Bakunin  1871

    “Under the Radar - Big Band Mondays” - June 3rd - 8-10 pm - with Steve - Celebrating Cole Porter’s Birthday- June 9, 1891 -
    May 13th, 2013

    Big Band copy

    He is a song writer extraordinaire. Some 900 songs are attributed to him. His estate continues to earn in excess of $3million per year.  Do the songs “I’ve Got You Under My Skin,” “Night and Day” and even “Don’t Fence Me In” … sound familiar?  They were all written by the featured artist on my June 3rd show. So turn your dial to WSCA 106.1 FM on Monday June 3rd and listen in at 8 PM for the next Under the Radar Big Band Mondays show to hear the Big Band Era versions of this month’s featured artist, the great songwriter Cole Porter.

    During this annual event Steve will be utilizing many vocal artists who performed songs by Mr. Porter, during the Big Band era. You’ll also hear different versions of Porter classics and Big Band versions not normally heard on the airwaves, as Steve celebrates Mr. Porter’s birthday.Cole-Porter-Wrote-Music-and

    As usual, Steve will give you the big band tidbits from the Palomar Big Band Chronology web site. The Palomar is an interactive, member-driven blog for those who love to talk about the BIG BANDS and the Swing Era. You’ll hear the factoids and listen to the music concerning the BIG BAND history for month of June.

    So, by all means, listen to ‘Under the Radar” with Steve when the first Monday of the month comes around.  Get ready to “jump’n jive” to Goodman, Shaw, Miller, Martin, Kenton, and Hampton with the Seacoast’s only true Big Band show with Steve.

    If you like BIG BANDS, swing music, horns and plenty of them, then by all means listen to ‘Under the Radar-BIG BAND Mondays’ the first Monday of each month, from 8:00 to 10:00 PM, on WSCA 106.1 FM or on the web at http://www.wscafm.org  and if you have a mobile device… get the TuneIn App and search “WSCA” and listen!

    Don’t forget if you have a BIG BAND request of any kind or just want to chat you can e-mail Steve and the “Under the Radar-BIG BAND Show” at wscautr@yahoo.com.

    ANY AND ALL REQUESTS WILL BE TAKEN. STEVE WILL DO HIS BEST TO GET THEM ON THE AIR. SIMPLY SEND THEM TO 

    wscautr@yahoo.com

    And remember, as Steve says, “He loves you madly”………………….
