Environmental Advocacy and Organizing
Director Steve Chase Interviewed on ACT Radio
About Activist Training and EAOP
ACT Radio, or Animal Concerns of Texas, is broadcast by co-hosts Greg Lawson, Steve Best, and Elizabeth Walsh on KTEP--the NPR station in El Paso. Every other Sunday evening at 7:30, these radio activists offer a unique radio program in Texas that focuses on animals rights, human health, and related issues such as vegetarianism and environmental activism. I was very pleased when Steve Best called the EAOP office and asked if he and Greg could interview me on activist training in general and the Environmental Advocacy and Organizing Program in particular. I was also thrilled when the 23 minute interview was broadcast on their Earth Day show, April 22, 2007.
Well, the EAOP has now received the permission of KTEP’s general manager to offer this Earth Day edition of ACT Radio as a downloadable MP3 file to all of you. You should be able to play this file with any MP3 player such as Windows Media Player or iTunes. My interview starts about 7 minutes into the program. You can jump to that if you like, but you might want to listen to the interesting news and commentary at the top of the show.
Once the program turns to my interview, I get to talk about my personal journey to activism, the growth of my concern for environmental issues, two of the key educational inspirations behind the Environmental Advocacy and Organizing Program, some key elements of the EAOP curriculum, and the importance of increasing the number and quality of activist training programs within institutions of higher learning. I hope you enjoy the interview. I know I enjoyed doing it. Steve and Greg were great interviewers.
