The weekly radio program Media Matters features host Bob McChesney in conversation with a variety of guests.
Bob McChesney is a research professor in the Institute of Communications Research and the Graduate School of Information and Library Science at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
“The media are central to all our lives,” he says. “Yet the media are the most frequently misunderstood parts of our lives. We want to help people understand the role of media in society.”

Yesterday's live program was not announced in advance, as has been normally customary.  A program with Michael Albert had been peviously announced for March 18, 2007, but was (without announcement) replaced with an interview with Andre Schiffrin.  Yesterday's Media Matters audio stream was accessible on the internet at 11 am Pacific Time, and it is now downloadable.
