Radio Topics, November 7

We return to our normal format this week, after a very successful drive. Our show raised about 650 dollars as of sunday night, and the station raised a little more than $108,000. This is really awesome, and will mean that CKCU, as well as Adam and I, are around for another year. Pledge payment forms will go out in the coming weeks, so you'll have the chance to honour your pledges soon enough. Similarly, if you haven't pledged yet you can still do so as listed below.

Just after the BBC news we'll be continuing our Council Candidate series with a short talk with Ian Boyd, candidate for Capital ward.

Immediately following, we'll (finally!) have Padraic, as promised, scale Duntown Tower 1 floor for every $50 dollars that our show had donated during funding drive. That's a lucky 13 floors. Maybe, just maybe, we'll have him talk about the Saddam Hussein verdict at the same time.

In hour two, following Azmik's segment, we'll have a chat with John English, author of Citizen of the World, his biography of Pierre Trudeau.

We'll also look at some of the following:

Iggy: Getting Desperate.
Also: Dion a good second choice for many?

Midterm Election Day in the US! (Do your own googling):
-Will Karl Rove pull it off?
-Will The Democrats blow it, like they always do?
-What does this mean for the 2008 presidency?

The global fishery could be gone in our lifetime? There was a fishery? Loyola Hearn says we still do.
Also, Iceland goes back whaling!

End of the rope for Saddam.

Carleton Takes it in the Teeth again! From Macleans!
