he’s not dead.
oops
The interview with Daniel Ellsberg is from Lateline with Tony Jones. I didn’t see it when it aired here so thank you are including it in the show.
On the ABC (Au) site I also found another interview with Daniel Ellsberg, from 2003, with Phillip Adams on Late Night Live.

Late Night Live with Phillip Adams is one of the best radio shows, he interviews a wide range of very interesting people in great depth. It’s available as a podcast, so listen.

Ah, I think I heard the 2003 interview back then – there was something very familiar about this interview. Great stuff.
I feel bad for poor Trotsky puppy. All Trotsky was trying to do was sleep. Sleep is important. Poor Trotsky startled awake, very rudely, by a microphone Richard uses to talk to us on the computer.
No one ever talks about Trotsky. Or how Trotsky feels. Podcasting is ruining Trotsky’s sleep patterns. That’s not right.
I am not using pronouns in this comment because I do not know what Trotsky’s gender is. I do not want to offend Trotsky by calling Trotsky with a gender pronoun Trotsky does not identify with.
I do not know who Daniel Ellsberg is, but my social worker says he was a very important and relevant person and that I should thank Richard for playing this interesting podcast.
Very interesting.
yes misez slocumb is going to vlogeurope.
woops.. comment meant for last program.
“He has richly earned impeachment and I would say, though the trial hasn’t been held, conviction on a number of grounds of breaking the law and showing absolutely miserable judgement.” I love it! I love how he holds the mirror of morality up to himself and the rest of the media for NOT speaking out.
I think your playing this stuff may not do something today, at this very second, but if you keep it up, enough people are bound to get the message. Keep up the nice work.
Thank you for the interview with Mr.Ellsberg. I am glad I am no longer drinking the Bush 43 foreign policy. We indeed need a divided government so we would have people actively questioning the activities of our government.
I may not agree with everything you may offer on Yeastradio at least we could agree on this.
More like this Richard. Great interview clip.
Happy to, but I rely on people like Xavier sending me leads on clips like these.
Also- I must add… It excites me- the possiblity that some administration official who knows a lot may hear this show on sirius and be inspired to go public with his information. you never know!
what was the song that you played at the beginning of the show richard?
That was a song by Twinkelboi, the fabulous queer podcaster- visit twinkelboi.com.
