Once Upon a Time there was a movement of people who believed in the future and the common good. They were normal people, our grandparents, union members, teachers, housewives, farmers and shopkeepers. This political movement helped the country to survive capitalism's greatest disaster “the Great Depression.”

We survived and thrived. We fought the good fight and we won. We had public transportation, organized meaningful work programs with government healthcare, and compassionate government. We had progressive income tax and started social security. In short we had a government that acted like it cared instead of just saying it cared. Then a war came and we forgot. We made our dreams come true. Let us remember again.

FAQ

How can I ask your guest a question?

Sometimes up to half a year or a full year after the initial interview process I invite the guest on for a special follow up podcast. I solicit questions by e-mail. If you're interested in asking a question, signup on the alert e-mail list. On the other hand if you have seen enough to think you might want to purchase a complete CD Audio kit you will receive a certificate that gives you one free consultation with the guest (though some limitations apply).

What are your future topics?

I would love to interview a progressive who has been repeatedly elected in a conservative district. I would love do a show on being a campaign manger by interviewing a retired campaign manager. If you know some one who fits either of these descriptions and has 20 hours of time in one month and would like some lifetime royalties let me know.

Can Conservatives purchase your complete interview CD sets?

Of course, however the certificates have an escape clause that the guest or myself may choose not to honor the coaching session for political reasons or personal choice. Meaning if you're too conservative we will not give you any free phone consultations. Having said that as Democrats who believe in Democracy we will sell this information to any person or group that desires to learn how to be the best at political organizing.

I never heard of you, who are you?
Or what makes you think your qualified to do this?

I grew up in a democratic country and I happen to enjoy the freedoms and I take those freedoms very seriously. I agree with Lincoln when he said that "Democracy is the government of the people by the people for the people." I really like the for the people part. I love politics, but feel uninterested in holding office.

Why do you only have one show every couple of months?
or When is your next show?

Well, each guest is interviewed for seven to ten hours including the podcast time. For each minute of interview time there is four to six minutes of editing involved. Count the time spent spreading the word about current shows and the time just flies by. Since this is a part time project you can see why the show are so slow to get out.

This site is a primer for successful political action. We give progressives the tools they need
to win elections, to reform bureaucracies, to start groups, and to make a difference.
