A left-wing radio show which mixes music and education. The show's name is derived from the radio station harnessed by Gamal Abdel Nasser, "Voice of the Arabs," which broadcasted both propaganda and songs in an attempt to increase solidarity amongst the Arab peoples. The goal of the Voice of the Midwest is much the same, to offer a media "out" in the all too conservative Midwest.
Voice of the Midwest features its first guest in this show, Nicolette, an up and coming scholar of Latin American Marxism, in a semi amateur interview. Please note that there is some notable choppiness during the interview, but otherwise enjoy!
Today's show will feature music regarding the 800 year struggle in Ireland, along with the usual news roundup!
