Today on the mediageek radio show I'll be interviewing Jeremy Alderson, aka 'Nobody,' host of the annual Homeless Marathon on his being taking off the air at his former home station, WEOS in Geneva, NY.
Also, Amy Aidman, public interest communications researcher, will be on talking about today's protests at the FCC in Washington, DC, where the "Angels of the Public Interest" are demonstrating against the FCC's plan to radically deregulate media ownership.
Mediageek airs Friday at 5:30 PM after Free Speech Radio News. Shows are archived at http://www.mediageek.org
