So, my stint behind the mike is over.
The archived material, where you listen in, is

Substituting for Eve Harow, Yisrael Medad brought on four guests to discuss issues that are in the forefront of Jewish political life in Israel and abroad. Yisrael, a blogger at Arutz 7 and a long-time Yesha activist who resides in Shiloh, spoke with Elizabeth Berney who is the Republican candidate running for election in 2010 in New York's 5th Congressional District, the seat held by 13-term incumbent Gary Ackerman. Liz, interviewed in her Great Neck home, highlighted some troublesome developments relating to Ackerman's positions on Israel as well as other issues important to the 600,000 voters of Norht-east Queens and North-west Nassau County.
Caroline Glick spoke about her new Hebrew-language web site, www.latma.co.il, which is taking on Israel's own media with an especially satirical, sardonic and critical perspective. Explaining the central role the media plays in framing the knowledge and information Israelis receive, as well as that which is denied them, in addition to the left-wing bias, Caroline expanded on the uniqueness of the site and, in a new development, the use of humor to "take down" the media with webcast clips.
Executive Vice-President of Bnai Brith Canada and publisher of The Jewish Tribune, Frank Dimant, speaking from Toronto, reviewed the major problems of harassment and actual physical threating behavior that Jewish students on Canadian campuses are facing during such events as "Israel Apartheid Week" and other instances. Frank and Yisrael spoke of Canada's Conservative government and its support for Israel versus the Jewish kowtowing to the new radical trend of anti-Zionism on campuses and the trade unions.
Yisrael's last guest was Eve Harow who spoke of her insights on the American scene, having just gotten back from a two-week personal trip.
And, since radio you can't "see", here are some pics:
