It's widely assumed that people on the right are more likely to believe that genes matter for success. However, a new poll shows that overwhelming majorities of both Democrats and Republicans deny the role of genes.

Defenders of the climate 'consensus' have been getting angry in recent weeks, leading to embarrassing outbursts in the media. It's a sign of crisis in a scientific establishment that has banned dissent, says Ben Pile.

First ever broadcast of The Little Earth Show tonight!!!

category national | environment | press release author Tuesday January 27, 2004 18:00author by Michael Lemass Report this post to the editors

Tune into Highland radio or listen online

Dear Friends ,
Tonight at 9.00 pm Donegal's Highland Radio will broadcast the first
of four radio shows produced by FEASTA titled 'The Little Earth Show' .

Produced for a youth audience the Little Earth Show is a four-part radio drama with a difference, based partly on the best selling 'Little Earth Book' by James Bruges.

Each episode takes a topic and analyses the issues from a global and local perspective.

The style of the show is a competitive dialogue between two characters, which owe some part of their genesis to Homer and Lisa Simpson. Their running confrontation is set in a REALITY RADIO setting (like reality TV only on the radio ) which we call 'The Little Earth Show'.

This format allows us to be funny and provocative at the same time. The Reality Radio
setting gives us the excuse we need to place the contestants anywhere in the world that’s appropriate, whether on a beach in Donegal, in an SUV in California, on top of the Three Gorges Dam in China or in a food-truck in the Channel Tunnel.

This project is part education, part comedy and part radio drama. It’s a new concept in radio. The intention is to make entertaining, informative, challenging and accessible radio.

The Little Earth Show on Highland Radio
9.00 pm-Tuesday 27th January

and the 3rd, 10th, and 17th of February 2004


Listen on-line live at

http://www.highlandradio.com/main.htm

Or tune in on the radio if you are in the Donegal area:

103.3 MHz, 95.2 MHz, 94.7MHz, 96.9MHz and 87.9 MHz

This production will be officially launched in March with broadcasts around
the country. If you know of a community or local station that might be
interested in broadcasting this production please contact the FEASTA office.

Funding for this project came from the Development education Unit of
Development Co-operation Ireland and Trocaire.

Highland radio is well known as radio Fianna Fail in Donegal, licenced as it was during Ray Burkes tenure, and directed by arch FFer Charlie Collins. Collins even went so far as to write to other radio stations a few years ago asking them to give soft interviews to FF candidates during the election as this would be good for the commercial radio sector.
Good luck to FEASTA and their programme but don't be surprised if Charlie pulls it if it is in any way critical of the government. THere may be a good bit of competition in the dublin radio market but what FF have done in Donegal is to create a state licenced monopoly so their funders can line their pockets. Its about time these bastards were put under pressure and a second commercial licence issued for Donegal.
