The two days the media notices poverty

September 23rd, 2011

I’m on FAIR’s radio show Counterspin this week, discussing the media frenzy around last week’s release of census data showing poverty is dramatically on the rise in the U.S. But what did the news stories leave out? Listen to Janine Jackson and I discuss that here.

Me, chatting, BP, tomorrow, 1 pm

April 20th, 2011

Just a note that I’m doing a live chat tomorrow at Baseball Prospectus from 1 pm to roughly 3 pm EDT. You can submit your questions ahead of time, tune in live tomorrow, or read the transcript later, all at the same location. Baseball questions preferred, but I can bend the rules and take one or two Anaheim Kings questions if the masses demand it.

ESPN Radio, tonight, 8:25 pm

August 23rd, 2010

I’ve been mostly on vacation this month, but tonight at 8:25 pm Eastern I return to the media fray with an appearance on Brian Kenny’s ESPN Radio show to talk about sports ticket prices. You can listen in, hm, looks like here, or tune in your local ESPN Radio station on that thing with the funny knobs.

Talking 1099s on TOP

July 20th, 2010

Programming note: I’ll be on WTOP radio in Washington, D.C. this afternoon at 2:20 pm Eastern time, to talk about the Great 1099 Tax Form Mess. Tune in via webstream here.

Radio appearances, Wed. 3/24

March 23rd, 2010

If you’d like to hear me natter about the health care bill’s effect on small business, I’ll be on WOC-AM in Iowa at 8 am (Central time) tomorrow morning, available here streaming over the interwebs. I’ll also be be on KMED-AM 20 minutes later (6:20 am Pacific), but that doesn’t appear to be streamed, so you’ll either need to live in Medford, Oregon, or have a tin can with a really, really long string.

“Communique” on welfare rolls (archived)

March 8th, 2009

If you missed my appearance on the WNYE-FM program “Communique” last Wednesday, I’ve uploaded a recording of the show here. Much talk about why New York’s welfare rolls haven’t risen amid the economic downturn, with myself and the excellent Liz Schott of the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities.

WNYE-FM, 91.5 in NYC, 1 pm today

March 4th, 2009

Late notice, but I’ll be on WNYE-FM in New York City, 91.5 on your radio dial, from 1 to 1:30 pm today talking about my recent article on falling welfare rolls amid rising need.

I can’t find a link for a web stream, but I’ll post a followup here if it’s archived anywhere. Meanwhile, if you’re local, tune in, then move two clicks back down the dial to check out the WFMU marathon, which is where my radio (okay, my iTunes) is tuned to all this week and next.

Baseball Prospectus chats, online and in person

February 24th, 2009

The new edition of Baseball Prospectus is out, with my essay on the last year in baseball stadium developments, and I’ll be hitting the road – okay, the keyboard and the subway – to help promote it. This Thursday, I’ll be at baseballprospectus.com doing a live online chat (feel free to submit questions ahead of time).

Then on Thursday, March 12, at 6 pm, I’ll be appearing on a BP panel discussion, along with Kevin Goldstein, Steven Goldman, Jay Jaffe, and Cliff Corcoran, at the original Barnes & Noble store on 18th St. and Fifth Ave. in Manhattan. C’mon out and say hi.

Blagojeviching

December 10th, 2008

Ever since news broke that Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich allegedly tried to trade Wrigley Field stadium subsidies for getting Chicago Tribune editorial board writers fired, I’ve been getting lots of calls from radio stations on the topic. So far the list includes:

I’ll also be on New York’s WBAI tomorrow morning at 6:45 am Eastern, discussing the latest in the Mets and Yanks stadium deals. If my voice hasn’t given out by then.

(UPDATE: I also just found the archive of my appearance yesterday on The Roth Show, which was, um, interesting…)

Democracy Now! with Kucinich and Damiani

July 30th, 2008

Just got back from filming/taping a half-hour appearance on the TV/radio show Democracy Now! about the new Yankees stadium – U.S. Rep. Dennis Kucinich and Good Jobs New York director Bettina Damiani were on hand as well, but I got to throw in a few soundbites about how much it will all cost the public. You can watch/listen to the proceeding via the Democracy Now! website here.
