The longest strike in the history of Radio France is showing no sign of coming to an end, with <a href="http://www.thelocal.fr/20150409/strike-heightens-battle-over-future-of-french-public-radio">both sides becoming more entrenched</a>. The debate surrounds <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-32209048">an austerity plan by the new head of Radio France</a> to cut 300 jobs, merge the news operations of the broadcaster's three speech radio stations, introduce shared programmes on local radio and relegate a number of niche music services to internet-only broadcasting. Radio France staff have hit back with an <a href="http://ecrans.liberation.fr/ecrans/2015/03/25/lettre-ouverte-aux-auditeurs-de-radio-france-cette-greve-est-pour-vous_1228340">open letter (in French)</a> to listeners.

I'd recommend listening to it cold with no more information than that, but if you'd like to know a bit more, the episode description is below the fold. <blockquote>Wes Vose was well-loved by his family and by the community where he grew up in Woods Hole, Massachusetts on Cape Cod. Everyone was stunned when Wes died late at night in an automobile accident in 2012. He was twenty-two. Wes' burial was moving and memorable. The family prepared his body and built his casket. Dozens of people walked along side the pick-up truck carrying Wes and his mother as they made their way to the funeral. Hundreds of people attended — an overflowing crowd. When Wes died, a part of Woods Hole died, too. Then Jakob Lewis showed up, about a year and a half later. A stranger with a microphone. Jakob was a student at the <a href="http://transom.org/workshop/">Transom Story Workshop</a> in Woods Hole in the spring of 2014. He learned about the funeral soon after he arrived. Jakob was simultaneously fascinated by the way the Vose's and the community grieved yet wary of trespassing on the family's privacy. Ultimately, Jakob's curiosity won out and the result is "Bringing Wes Home." Jakob's approach to the story offers valuable insight for others "parachuting" into a community to report on a traumatic event. He says he "walked with" the Voses into their fear and sadness and anger. "I felt like a counselor or pastor."</blockquote> tag:metafilter.com,2014:site.141135 Sun, 20 Jul 2014 16:39:45 -0800 Lexica "Ask Dr. Science.

Dean's outburst occurred in the context of discussions over the Minnesota House Legacy Funding Division, which assigns money to various public causes in Minnesota, and a move by the Division's panel chair, Rep. Dean Urdahl, to remove recommendations from the Legacy fund allocations, compelling organizations to compete directly for funding. This would potentially discomfit Minnesota's public TV and radio services, which currently receive funding from the the Legacy Funding Division. Public funding for arts and cultural heritage projects came under the microscope of the new Republican majority, and Gaiman's apparently exorbitant speaking fee was cited as an exemplar of wasted public money.

Dean later apologised on <a href="http://minnesota.publicradio.org/collections/special/columns/polinaut/archive/2011/05/dean_apologizes.shtml">Minnesota Public Radio</a> for the language of his plaint, although not the message, claiming that his mother had been angry at his terminology and told him not to be a name-caller.

Here he is <a href="http://www.publicbroadcasting.net/fairgame/.jukebox?action=viewMedia&mediaId=683918&podcastId=12804">explaining</a> the process on the public radio show "Fair Game." The song has already sponsored a <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TbV8YcNrQ28">video</a> tribute. Transcript of the original exchange (you can hear it played in the radio segment): MR. MCLAUGHLIN: Question: Does Romney's endorsement seal the deal? Is McCain now the inevitable Republican nominee? I ask you, Pat. MR. BUCHANAN: John, absent celestial intervention, I think he's going to get the nomination. MR. MCLAUGHLIN: Absent what? MR. BUCHANAN: Celestial intervention. MR. MCLAUGHLIN: Well, it happens, Pat. May he rest in peace, Paul Wellstone. John Heinz was killed in an airplane crash. MR. BUCHANAN: Well, let's not speculate on it. MR. MCLAUGHLIN: Death comes in the night on cats' paws, Pat. You never know. MR. BUCHANAN: On little cats' feet. That's the fog, John, that comes in on little cats' feet. Mr. MCLAUGHLIN: I changed it to cat - Sandberg be damned. And the lyrics to Andrew's song: If it happens, Pat... If it happens, Pat... If it happens, Pat, may he rest in peace Death comes in the night on little cats' feet! If it happens, Pat, may he rest in peace Death comes in the night on little cats' feet! on little cats' feet, on little cats' feet! on little cats' feet, on little cats' feet!
