As I noted in one my earlier posts – Jean Feraca’s program, “Here On Earth” on Wisconsin Public Radio (WPR) holds its own amongst all the programs on the National Public Radio. Jean and her producer bring an absolutely amazing array of eclectic topics from around the world and Jean handles all the topics with flair and aplomb.
This weekend Jean brings us a woman who has been called “The Rosa Parks of Pakistan” – Mukhtaran Mai. Now the great thing about this program is that you can hear it by tuning into WPR’s broadcast stations or you can hear it live on the internet through their website
http://wpr.org/webcasting/live.cfm.
What’s more - it is an interactive program with a free 1-800 number so you can call in or if you are in a location where you don’t have access to that free call-in number you can simply send Jean an email during the program at
hereonearth@wpr.org with your question, location and phone number and she will call you back. Isn’t that amazing? This particular segment with Mukhtaran Mai will be live at 2 PM Sunday (11/06/05) Central Time, which is 1:30 AM Sunday night in India. Of course, if you don’t care about calling in you can also download the podcast of the program from
