Programming for Friday, July 26, 2019

Good morning, Ungovernables! Hitting the salt mines early in the morning tomorrow, so I need to get this house in order now. Here’s your special programming for Friday, July 26th.

J. Geils Band

10:00 a.m. In the Spotlight: The Music of The J. Geils Band

That “other” Boston band, frenetic and funky is how they are described. I much prefer them to Band No. 1. But that’s me.

1:00 p.m. Abby Martin on How Propaganda Engineers Consent for Empire

Abby Martin of the Empire Files talks to Mark Crispin Miller about the powerful role propaganda plays in our daily lives.

4:00 p.m. The ‘All-Girl’ Revue

A couple of hours of nothing but the ladies of rock n’ roll.

7:00 p.m. Alison Weir on the Global Effort to Criminalize Criticism of Israel

It’s here and it’s real. We’d better find a way to combat this.

Programming for Saturday, July 20, 2019

Good Morning, Ungovernables! Here’s today’s playlist, and it’s a day dedicated to the women of rock!

emmylou-older

11:00 a.m. Martin Luther King on the Three Evils of Society

A nearly forgotten speech given by Dr. King at the first and only National Conference for New Politics (see, we’ve been at this crap for a long time), focusing on war, racism and poverty.

1:00 p.m. Emmylou Harris: Rare Tracks and Forgotten Gems

This is our very first hour featuring Emmylou Harris, but I promise it will not be our last! Some of Emmylou’s friends come along for the ride.

4:00 p.m. War with Russia?

Chris Hedges interviews Stephen F. Cohen, professor emeritus of Russian Studies at Princeton University on the dangerous game we are playing with Russia.

8:00 p.m. The All-Girl Revue

No day dedicated to the women of rock would be complete without one of one of my very favorite playlists, so enjoy!

Programming for Friday, July 19, 2019

US-investment-in-5G

Good Morning, Ungovernables! TGIF and all that stuff, right? Unless you’re in retail, like I am. No matter. We’ve got a great lineup for you today here!

11:00 a.m. In the Spotlight: The Music of Steely Dan

These guys made some of the most innovative music on the planet in that sleek jazz-rock style. A great band.

2:00 p.m. Dr. Martin Pall on the Health Dangers of 5G

Dr. Martin Pall of the Biochemistry Department at Washington State University discusses the health dangers of the looming 5G techology. We think this is a very dangerous technology and encourage you to also look here.

5:00 p.m. Petty Theft: The Covers

No matter where they played, Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers paid homage to those who inspired them and had an effect on their success. Here, the Heartbreakers do their mentors proud covering Chuck Berry, The Beatles, The Grateful Dead and Bo Diddly. One of my favorite playlists EVAH.

8:00 p.m. Chris Hedges: Fascism in the Age of Trump

There are no solutions on eiher side, unfortunately. Many think Donald Trump was sent to “drain the swamp.” The exact opposite is true, despite those who remain delusional. Donald Trump is a product of a very sick system, much like his 2016 challenger, The Hillarious One. But make no mistake about it. Our present march to fascism, and it is happening, is being led by The Orange Scourge.

Remember, to check out the Playlist tab for content!

Note: We will again be uploading a bunch of new material over the weekend, and it will require shutting the server down. Time is TBD, but we will be sure it is later in the evening.

Programming for Thursday, July 18, 2019

Good Morning, Ungovernables! Hope you’re all doing well this fine morning, and here is your programming on #BecomeUngovernable Radio.

Beatles Rock the Rooftop

10:00 a.m. The Beatles Rock the Apple Studios Rooftop (1969)

Long after their touring days ended, the Beatles decided to conduct an unannounced, improptu concert during lunch hour to the thrill of the people below. The London police, however, were not so thrilled with the resulting traffic, and eventually shut the boys down. But not before they gave their countrymates one hell of a performance!

1:00 p.m. Chris Hedges and George Galloway

Chris Hedges interviews former British P.M. George Galloway on the state of politics in both the U.S. and the U.K. They touch on a wide range of subjects, including populism, racism, islamaphobia and antisemitism. Don’t miss this one!

3:00 p.m. In the Spotlight: The Music of The Rolling Stones

A musical revue of Mick Jagger and the boys, still on the road making music for the masses.

7:00 p.m. Happy 73rd Birthday, Linda Ronstadt! Live in Hollywood 1980!

Linda Ronstadt turned 73 years old on July 15. Although Parkinsons Disease may have silenced her voice, she’ll always have a voice on #BecomeUngovernable Radio. Today, we pay homage with her live performance in Hollywood in 1980.

We start at 6:00 a.m. and we don’t stop until midnight. Join us on #BecomeUngovernable Radio.

Two legendary musicians combine talents and song lists from two very illustrious careers.

1:00 p.m. In the Spotlight: The Music of the Traveling Wilburys

Once upon a time, five of the most talented musicians on the planet decided to get together just to have some fun. The rest is musical history.

4:00 p.m. The Secret World of U.S. Elections

Journalist John Pilger spends some time talking to Julian Assange of WikiLeaks about the state of our nation’s election cycle. With November 2020 looming on the horizon, this is a timely interview.

7:00 p.m. The New Enslavement of the American Working Class

Like Chris Hedges and George Galloway, we expect Dr. Paul Craig Roberts to be a fixture on this station. He is an important voice in our movement, and this is a great jumping off point.

poster-assange-manning-A2

Good Morning, Ungovernables! Today is the 12th anniversary of the actual Collateral Murder event. In honor of our two political prisoners, we will be dedicating all of our “talk” programming today to interviews about or with Julian Assange.

Here’s our special programming for today:

10:00 a.m. Mudcrutch Madness

For those of you who do not know who or what Mudcrutch is, this is the band that Tom Petty left Gainesville, Florida with on his quest to make the best fucking music on the planet. Mudcrutch didn’t have much success out there…until it morphed into Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers. Petty brought Mudcrutch back together in 2009, and the result was quite different.

1:00 p.m. Chris Hedges Interviews Kristinn Hrafnsson, Editor-in-Chief of WikiLeaks

The politically-motivated imprisonment of Julian Assange and continued persecution of Chelsea Manning are issues of prime importance to us. This is an excellent and timely interview.

From Linda Ronstadt, to Patti Smith, to Aretha Franklin. It’s an all-girl party! We also throw in some Joni Mitchell, Joan Baez, and Irma Thomas. Hey, but who’s name dropping?

7:00 p.m. Crucifying Julian Assange

Chris Hedges and John Pilger on Assanges’ political imprisonment and what he faces down the road.

Programming for Tuesday, July 9, 2019

9:00 a.m. Selections From the Concert for George, Royal Albert Hall

On the one year anniversary of George Harrison’s untimely death, his musical friends got together in Royal Albert Hall in London. The result was amazing.

1:00 p.m. The British Are Coming!

From the Hollies, to The Beatles, to Dusty Springfield, our musical world changed radically in the sixties, and it all started with “the British invasion.” Take a musical trip back in time with us.

4:00 p.m. Dr. Paul Craig Roberts on The New Enslavement of the Working Class

Like Chris Hedges and George Galloway, we expect Dr. Roberts to be a fixture on this station. He is an important voice in our movement, and this is a great jumping off point.

8:00 p.m. Deb Della Piana speaks with Nick Grecoll

In an interview from April this year, Deb Della Piana speaks with Nick Grecoll and GM Schauer about exactly what it means to become ungovernable.

Please note that our server will be taken down at 10: 00 p.m. EST on Tuesday night for planned maintenance.

Welcome to Day One!

Welcome to what feels to me like the umpteenth introduction of #BecomeUngovernable Radio. I promise, however, this one is for real. I promise to try daily to post special programming. Not only will we have some of the best music around, but we’ll have podcasts, interviews and, eventually, “live on air” programs.

Become Ungovernable Radio Intro-FINAL

#BecomeUngovernable Radio operates from 6 a.m. to midnight every day. All times are Eastern Standard Time. Times may change or be adjusted as demand requires and our audience grows!

At present, we have about 25,600 of our 50,000 songs uploaded. We will continue to upload over the next several weeks. As we upload more, we will add more special programming.

For our official “launch” on Sunday, July 7, here is the planned special programming that will break up what we call the “General Rotation” (which we hope you will love).

9:00 a.m. That Sweet Soul Sound

Generally speaking, a classic Motown play list featuring Marvin Gaye, The Temptations, and Aretha Franklin, to mention just a few.

1:00 p.m. Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, Live from Lucca, Italy (2012)

You haven’t experienced the Heartbreakers if you haven’t experienced them “live.”

4:00 p.m. Interview: Chris Hedges with WikiLeaks editor-in-chief Kristinn Hrafnsson

The politically-motivated imprisonment of Julian Assange and continued persecution of Chelsea Manning are issues of prime importance to us. This is an excellent and timely interview.

7:00 p.m. Linda Ronstadt, Live in Hollywood (1980)

Despite a prolific career, there has never been an official Linda Ronstadt “live” album until February of this year. All songs were chosen by Linda Ronstadt for this amazing performance coinciding with the release of Mad Love.
