FLASHPOINTS

Program and station logos courtesy of KPFA

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

Flashpoints is a hard-hitting, daily investigative radio newsmagazine. The producers specialize in going after the stories that the corporate media and the alternative media have given up on: the occupation of Palestine, the overthrow of democracy in Haiti, the cleansing of Native tribes and the militarization at the US-Mexico border, the deportation of pregnant immigrant women, et cetera. Whenever possible, we go for frontline sources; people in the war zone or on the front lines where the action or the resistance is taking place. Sometimes our sound is gritty, but the information is always fresh and presents a clear alternative to the corporate media's extreme censorship.

CLOCK & TOPICS Flashpoints is 59:10, with a five-minute newscast (The Knight Report)at the top, followed by several segments on varying topics dependingon the top news stories of the day.

Program logo courtesy of Northern Spirit Radio Mark Helpsmeet

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION Song of the Soul invites you to a soul-level encounter. Music has the ability to proclaim the soul's language beyond what mere words can speak. That's what we seek as we invite our guests to share their Song of the Soul. You will hear the music that has charted the steps of their spiritual journey that has provided a touchstone in the soul's dark night, and sung the hearts awe and joy when come to the Light. As you listen to Song of the Soul, you are both witness and companion to our guest's spiritual path and sacred testimony.

Song of the Soul guests provide about 25 minutes of the music that speaks of their spiritual path, beliefs or journey, and Mark Helpsmeet explores with them the relevance and meaning of this music to their experience. Often the guests are musicians, perhaps sharing their own music, but some guests are simply sharing music they've been impacted by, written and performed by others.
