Break the Boycott
Oct 29
LEO GOLD

It's pledge drive time, and this week has a little bit of extra drama.  Leo cuts his green electricity bill, and KPFT raises money with Pink Ribbons Project to provide mammograms for women without adequate funds.  Leo re-visits the "Truther" controversy from the week before, giving plenty of plugs for fellow Texan Alex Jones' websites and paraphernalia while emphasizing his own Patriotic Independence from said views.  A Jones acolyte declares a KPFT boycott on several forums and Leo encourages KPFT listeners to "Break the Boycott" - and they do, responding with 4x the New Capital Show's goal.

NOTE: With the station running on backup power our podcast recording equipment was down and we are currently attempting to piece together another copy from other station resources.  Sorry for the inconvenience.
