Thanks for letting us know about this--  you have good "radar" as to local 
stuff that's worth noting!

Just an observation though, about how KDRT can be infuriating.  I've counted 
four distinct times, now, that they've run an episode of DemocracyNow that 
isn't the current day's edition..  and I made note of these 
otherwise-unexciting events because they so happened to contain especially 
controversial subject matter on those particular days.  (I listen on KDVS or 
KPFA or KVMR often, but sometimes it's more convenient when KDRT plays it.)  
This to me has been enough data points to suggest there's someone "spiking" 
said episodes, as the common element is that each time the Authorities' 
wrongdoing was called out in explicit terms..  be it some cops or U.S. 
foreign policy, as was the case this last notable time.  I'm sure if you 
called to complain they'd cite "technical difficulties"..  yeah, I bet they 
run Microsoft crap so surely they have some weaknesses, but surely they'd 
just be using this as a cowardly excuse.  Take note of the most recent 
censored (IMO) topic, and share with friends who may've missed it:

".. as far as who has blood on their hands, there’s zero evidence that the 
attackers used encryption or anything else that was revealed as a result of 
Edward Snowden, but there’s lots of evidence that the CIA utterly failed in 
their mission and that the U.S. government has done all sorts of things 
unwittingly to strengthen ISIS. And so, I think if you want to talk about who 
has blood on their hands, personally, I would look first to ISIS, the people 
who actually shot those people in the Paris streets. It’s really weird. 
Usually after a terrorist attack, nobody is allowed to suggest that anybody 
has blame other than the terrorists themselves. But for some reason, in this 
case, leading establishment figures and journalists feel free to go around 
detracting—distracting attention from ISIS and saying, "No, it’s not ISIS 
that has blood on their hands, it’s Edward Snowden." For some reason, that’s 
now allowed. So, if that’s what we’re doing, if that’s the game we’re 
playing, I would look to the U.S. government first, because they failed to 
find the plot despite huge amounts of money and unlimited power to do so, and 
because they’ve done all sorts of things to strengthen the group that 
apparently bears responsibility for this attack."
