WS Radio: Warren Kinsella interview

Wsradio_header

Listen live (QuickTime), Mondays, 4 - 6 p.m. EST

"Political Animals"--the flagship radio show of Western Standard radio--is a weekly political talk show on 88.1 WBGUFM hosted by Jay Lafayette, Peter Jaworski, and Terrence Watson.

Kinsella Today, our phone-in guest will be Warren Kinsella, former Liberal "attack dog" and archnemesis of Conservatives (and conservatives) across Canada. Kinsella is the author of several books, including "Kicking Ass in Canadian Politics," and "The War Room." Until very recently, Kinsella was a columnist with the National Post.

While we will ask Kinsella about the split with the Post, our questions will mostly be about Kinsella's opposition to freedom of speech, and support for the human rights commissions that we here at the Western Standard have been busy arguing against. Kinsella does not support the complaints against the Western Standard for publishing the Muhammad cartoons, and neither does he support the complaints against Maclean's and Mark Steyn, but he does support the HRCs in principle, and in some cases. We'll push him on this issue.

Gerry Nicholls, one of the best political pundits in Canada, will, as always, join us at the top of the second hour to talk about Canadian politics from his cell phone on his way to the airport.

Political Animals is on every Monday from 4 to 6 p.m. Eastern Standard Time, broadcast out of 88.1 FM in the Bowling Green, Ohio area, and on www.wbgufm.com worldwide. To listen to a direct stream, click here (QuickTime). To participate in the discussion, you can call 888-7-WBGUFM, or send us an email at politicalanimals-at-wbgufm-dot-com.

WS Radio: Brad Rodu audio

Did you know that smokeless tobacco (snuff or dip) is safer than smoking tobacco? Did you know that it's 98 per cent safer? Yeah, that's right--if you substitute your smoking habit for a smokeless tobacco habit, you will get your nicotine in a much safer format. We bet you didn't know. But it's true.

That's according to Dr. Brad Rodu, who was our guest on Political Animals yesterday. If the 45 million American smokers were to switch from smoking to smokeless tobacco, the likely death rate would plummet from 400,000 per year to 12,000 per year. ("But," you say, "what about oral cancer? Aren't oral cancer rates much higher for dippers than for smokers?" Sorry, wrong again. Smokers have oral cancer rates that are higher than smokeless users.)
