Radio Appearances
BBC World Have Your Say Radio: Style, Spin and American Politics: Live from Venice Beach on September 10, 2008. I sat with the head show producer Ros Atkins; Mark Sawyer, political science professor at UCLA; editor Ted Johnson from Variety (who had been arrested during the protests outside the RNC); and a reporter named Maria Joyouspirit who has a show on KPFK. We spoke with an array of fascinating people from all over the world — like Lance Price, who’d been Tony Blair’s spin doctor. We had a fascinating hour of political talk with people from all over the globe.
BBC World Have Your Say Radio: The Japanese and French Culture: An interesting discussion I participated in about the phenomenon of Japanese visitors having to be expatriated because of nervous breakdowns in Paris.
