App Voices on the Airwaves

A Kohmist and the KohmEST were featured last week on the trusty ol’ FM radio.

I was on the excellent and always entertaining “Head On Radio with Bob Kincaid” last Thursday (3/20), talking about Presidential politics and Appalachia. Bob’s show is based out of West Virginia, and we spoke for about 45 minutes on subjects ranging from the Clean Water Protection Act (HR 2169), Presidential candidates positions on coal, pro-mountain bills and grassroots actions in Appalachian states, mountaintop removals devastating effects on the Appalachian economy, and Appalachia’s potentially huge role in the upcoming clean energy economy. The interview begins at roughly minute 32 and goes for about 45 minutes. Comments and critiques welcome! (audio)

Always the first to beat me to anything, Lenny Kohm (the Kohmest of the Kohmists) was also featured on a really cool program called Against the Grain on Tuesday (3/18/08). Against the Grain is a one-hour interview-format show that airs on Pacifica station KPFA 94.1 FM in Berkeley, KFCF 88.1 FM in Fresno, California, and kpfa.org. Lenny focuses on the Clean Water Protection Act (HR 2169) and the national implications of mountaintop removal. Lenny starts just after 2/3rds of the way through. (audio)
