THIS WEEK'S SHOW: Saturday, May 1st, 2004

This Is Hell airs live every Saturday from 9 AM to 1 PM (US central time) on WNUR 89.3 FM in Chicago, and live all over the rest of the world via RealPlayer and Windows Media Player. Just go to WNUR's website (http://www.wnur.org) and click on either the RealAudio or Windowsmedia button found just beneath the heading, "Listen Online."

This week, we're back to the regular grind: four hours of live radio without any interruption. Our guests this week include:

* Scott C. Davis (http://www.DialogueSyria.org), author of "The Road from Damascus: A Journey Through Syria." Scott has just returned from Syria and will give us his eyewitness account of the situation there.

* Dahr Jamail (http://blog.newstandardnews.net/iraqdispatches/), Baghdad correspondent for the Internet journal The NewStandard, Jamail was in Fallujah earlier this month and will be reporting to us live from Baghdad

* Greg Palast (http://www.gregpalast.com), author of "The Best Democracy Money Can Buy" (Plume) which has just been re-mixed as an 'Expanded Election Edition.'
Greg will be doing a booksigning and talking with, well, you if you want to talk with him, at Barbara's Bookstore, 1218 South Halsted, in what used to be the Maxwell Street neighborhood, at 4 PM.
For more information on this appearance call 312-413-2665.
Greg's tour still has dates in New York City, Hartford, Los Angeles, San Diego and Washington, DC.
For more information on the tour, go to Greg's website.

* Jeff Jarvis (http://www.buzzmachine.com/) has just written the cover story for the May 17th issue of The Nation entitled "F*cked By the FCC" (http://www.thenation.com/doc.mhtml?i=20040517&s=jarvis) on America's latest censorship craze. Jeff is the former TV critic for TV Guide and People, creator of Entertainment Weekly, Sunday Editor of the New York Daily News, and a columnist on the San Francisco Examiner ... yet he still wants to come on our show - and we still want to have him. Go figure.


LaddieO.com will give us a live web and tech report from the hermetically sealed clean room at URL Labs, and Jeff Dorchen will deliver his Moment of Truth.

I had a hard time getting AA this morning also.

instead of double click..use right mouse button and select "open from different window"...that seemed to work for me

although the 32k stream is clipping bad on my dialup connection

. . . and I didn't have to right click, I just clicked and it launched. Also, it's streaming great through DSL. I'm on a Mac. I don't know if that would make a difference.

my favorite. I love This is Hell and unlike AAR, it's still on my radio.

it up so we cannot hear Palast?

Outrage after outrage occurs in this country and nothing ever changes. That is HELL.

He made it seem as if Syria is a country who welcomes all foreigners, even the Jewish are welcome. The propaganda must have done a number on me because this friendliness came as a surprise.

That is the group the Freepers work with to stalk Hillary Clinton and now John Kerry. It does not surprise me about the big money behind that group.

Woodward doing *.

name for what they do in those books.

And Bush dumped her when she wanted her Senate seat payback.

It is hard to listen to right wing radio because of the style of delivery. AirAmerica has copied that style, only liberal.

This Is Hell and Democracy Now is more my style.
