Should Have SOTU

LEO GOLD — Thu, 28 Jan 2010 19:15:46 +0000

Leo gives the speech he thinks the President should have given in last night's State of the Union address. But Leo is not stopping there. We at New Capital Show have started a petition. If you think the speech is right on, and you want the future it describes - sign the petition, and we'll get it to the people in charge. The more the merrier, so sign it and pass it along.

Break the Boycott

LEO GOLD — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 23:26:55 +0000

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.

Good News and Conspiracies

LEO GOLD — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 19:34:33 +0000

Leo discusses a host of important items: Honda reduces waste to ZERO in its plants, true costs for fossil fuels are finally being calculated, and Cheney is still showing his astonishing chutzpah. Listener Clint is insulted when Leo labels the sensationalist banners on Alex Jones' website what they are: unproductive conspiracy theories (or worse).

Michael Mendenhall

LEO GOLD — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 15:31:31 +0000

We got word that Michael Mendenhall, who worked on New Capital Show, was killed by a drunk driver, and John Daido Loori, one of the world's great Zen teachers passed away. Leo reflects on their lives, and then turns his attention to the sordid story of how an ex deputy mayor of LA could take a seat on the board of one of the largest pension funds in the world, and then turn that gig into a $50 million payment. This should be a national scandal, but it doesn't even seem to be a big story in California. Americans have become jaded over the pilfering of capital resources whenever, wherever, and however that occurs.
