NPR
Chris Diehm is having trouble posting, so I am putting this up for him:
"I just wanted to let everyone know that I was on NPR's "Talk of the
Nation" program today (2/2/06). They did a special live broadcast from
Wausau, Wisconsin, and in the second part of the show the subject was
hunting. I was a panelist along with three others, and my role was to
talk about some of the ethical issues connected to hunting. I'm sure most
VU folks missed it (it seems that in most large-city areas, only 1 hour
of the program is aired, and my panel occurred in the second hour), but
you can access the show for another 24 hours by going to NPR's
website--www.npr.org--and follow the links for "Talk of the Nation.""

Thanks for posting that for me. I'm able to post comments, but not anything else. Go figure...
One correction to my original message: I believe that previous prgrams are archived at NPR's website, so it can be accessed indefinitely--it's not restricted to a 24-hour period as I originally thought. You would just have to go to the archives for 2/2/06 and find the story about hunting.
Wow! Not too shabby. Maybe I'll send my environmental ethics students to have a listen, since we're starting animal rights in a bit here. You're right that here in Philthy they only broadcast the first hour. Were you interviewed by Neil Conan or Ira Flato or a third? (note to either Neil or Ira: my apologies if you regularly google your own name and I happen to have spelled it wrong --- I'm too lazy to look up exact spellings and am simply reverse-"sounding them out." Although if I did misspell your name I don't know how you happen to have gotten here.)
