Michael Franti Interview
My guest is Michael Franti, the musician, poet, human rights activist, and filmmaker. He's the leader of the band Spearhead, and now he's made a film called "I Know I'm Not Alone," about his travels to Iraq, Israel, and the Occupied Territories. In my interview with him, we talk about his experience making that film, and he sings a new, unrecorded song, "See You in the Light."
Welcome to the Radio Offerings of The Progressive
We produce two things.
First, we offer a weekly half-hour interview show called "Progressive Radio," hosted by Matthew Rothschild, the editor of The Progressive.
And second, Rothschild does a short commentary every weekday, called "Progressive Point of View,” which runs approximately 90 seconds.
Both are free to radio stations and listeners.
