In an environment where daily newspapers are struggling to stay afloat, some community newspapers are growing. This week we talk with Parry Teasedale, editor and publisher of a fledgling community newspaper, The Columbia Paper. Parry discusses the special dynamics of community and community newspapers, the different role they fill, and the vested interests of community people who work to put out such a newspaper each week. The ingredients for success of this paper may well be a model for other community publications who work uphold the long traditions of the community newspaper. We think you will enjoy this insightful and surprising discussion on community newspapers.

This week, The libertarian Dime turned it’s, well, libertarian eye, to unions. Shane and Jonathan, once again joined by Josh Brady, talked about how unions and their cozy relationship with government has done more damage than good lately. While acknowledging the accomplishments of the past and recognizing the right of workers to freely associate, the show focused mainly on those times when government and unions have teamed up, such as with public sector unions, teacher’s unions, and the quid pro quo’s that happen when unions donate lots of money to political campaigns. Also, they touched upon Rand Paul’s clueless remarks about the Civil Rights Act.

On tonight’s episode, Shane and Jonathan will be discussing unions. From the automobile industry to the teamsters, we will be discussing how unions are not only detrimental to the free market, but also do not ultimately protect the workers. This has always been a hot issue in America since unionization began, and even more so now, given the recent bail-out of the automotive industry.

This week Shane & Jonathan were joined by Josh Brady to discuss immigration. This is a hot-button issue in the media, and with practically everyone in this country, with cities boycotting each other, states trying to pass legislation that is stricter than federal guidelines toward immigration, and tension rising across the country because of this very polarizing issue. They talked about it from all sides, looked at the Arizona law, and even took a caller from Arizona for her perspective on the new law from the ground. The guys also touched upon “Draw Mohammad Day” and it’s impact on free speech.

On tonight’s episode, Shane and Jonathan will tackle the topic of immigration. This is a hot-button issue in the media, and with practically everyone in this country, with
cities boycotting each other, states trying to pass legislation that is stricter than federal guidelines toward immigration, and tension rising across the country because of this very polarizing issue.
We will take time to look at both sides of the issue, the repercussions of tightening or even closing our borders to people wanting to come into our country, and even look at how the free market might be able to straighten out the issue. No matter where you stand on the issue, you’ll definitely want to listen to tonight’s broadcast of The Libertarian Dime.
Check us out this Thursday 9:30PM EDT/8:30PM CDT here:

This week Shane & Jonathan talked about the current US policy of drug prohibition. Looking at the cost in terms of time, money, and life, Shane & Jonathan emphatically made the case that the current situation makes no sense. While at time calling upon youthful escapades with alcohol, the goal was to show how a worse drug, alcohol, is used by even those who hardly partake. There is just no justification for the War on Drugs anymore, and everyone should listen to this show for that reason.

This program explores the lives of two young missionaries from the Church of Later Day Saints. Their church doctrine is not discussed, but rather it’s a look at the day to day life of a Mormon missionary. Most people know them as the young people who come knocking on your door. But have you ever wondered what it’s like to spend two years in a very regimented life, facing rejection and hostility on a daily basis seven days a week for two years? We think you’ll be quite surprised at the attitude and outlooks of these two Mormon missionaries as we explore another portrait in This American Landscape.
The missionaries are Elder Hale and Elder McBride who are assigned to Columbia County, New York.

Despite a myriad of audio problems and yet again more setup changes, Shane & Jonathan put together a thoughtful, skeptical, and interesting show about the world of the paranormal. Looking at current news stories, the skeptical movement, and adding their own insights, they took the discussion to a new place. A must listen!

As we promised when we returned to podcasting, this week is a non-libertarian/non-political show. Tonight, instead, we’re talking “The Paranomal” tonight. Bigfoot, UFO’s, Loch Ness, Chupacabra are all on the table tonight. We’ll talk about it all from a logical, skeptical, and scientific approach, and hope to give it a slightly new twist.
