of the world's wealth, and wield the political power that these riches confer.

In observance of Banned-Books Week (Sept 22 - 28) Mickey and his guests discuss 

some of the obstacles placed in the way of Americans' freedom to read and learn, notably conservatives' 

efforts to keep unfavored books out of school libraries, or even to cancel authors' speaking engagements.

Authors John Duffy and Ray Nowosielski are the guests for the hour; to speak about their recent book

The Watchdogs Didn't Bark. The product of years of investigation, it begins with the questions: why were

two of the September 11 hijackers, already in the US and on the FBI terrorist watch list, not apprehended 

long before the attacks took place, and why was no one in the US government held accountable? 

The authors find the answers in a complex web of spy agency rivalries and coverups. 

Mickey and Chase spend the hour in conversation with Danny Haiphong, co-author of the new book 

"American Exceptionalism and American Innocence." He explains his assertion that throughout U.S. history, 

"fake news has been the only news disseminated by the rulers of U.S. empire.”

This week's program is an overview of the biases and dangers of corporate media. Freelance journalist Chelli Stanley

explains why corporate media is not "mainstream." Then Nolan Higdon returns to the show to discuss the new

book he and Mickey have written, "United States of Distraction: Media Manipulation in Post-Truth America."

On this week's program, we hear a speech by the legendary political activist and consumer-rights advocate 

Ralph Nader. Nader outlines some of the most critical problems facing Americans, including exorbitant military spending, 

out-of-control corporations, and thousands of annual deaths in the workplace, or from lack of health care coverage. 

But then he names some individuals who've made a difference in recent U.S. history, explains what students 

can accomplish on campus, and how voters can hold legislators accountable. Nader spoke on March 5, 2018 at 

Sonoma State University in northern California, as part of the campus's annual Social Justice Week Lecture Series.
