Hello, I’m George Maurer.
Beginning Tuesday, January 1, 2008, in order to achieve broadcast independence, we begin streaming audio on your computer, 5 days per week, Monday thru Friday, 5:30-6:30 PM, EST (EDT), from my home studio in Key West, Florida.
We began audio broadcasting in mid-November, 2004 on a progressive-format, talk radio program on an AM radio station in the Florida Keys (simulcast via iTunes on the internet). For some 2 years, we continued those broadcasts, likewise 1-hour per day, 5-days (M-F) per week. Our listening audience grew to tens of thousands, mostly on the internet around the nation and around the world. As 2007 approached, economics forced the station to convert to evangelical, Hispanic language round-the-clock broadcasting. We continued broadcasting our progressive talk show, but only in a block of 2-hours each Sunday. Because of frequent loss of internet access, we finally gave up and signed off at the end of July, 2007. We pursued local and state political matters for the next several months. With the help, however, of Doug Courtney, my webmaster; Tim Reynolds, my computer guru; and Jacques Combeau, my radio/TV producer/technician; we’re now ready (despite me being a computer dunce) to resume streaming audio via my website (www.justgeorgemaurer) and Windows Media on your computer.
As before, the program will feature frequent phone interviews with political candidates and leaders from around the country, and with world-wide scholars/academics/researchers as well. There will be conversations with friends and colleagues, persons on the street, folks who call in to my cell phone (# 305-766-0702) and whose call I then return on my landline (# 305-294-6725), and not too infrequently my Friday “rants and raves”. We’ll do remote programs (with Santos Ortiz at the helm of our home studio) from a wide variety of venues (Democratic Party headquarters in Washington, DC, and Tallahassee, Florida; from the Army War College in Carlisle, Pennsylvania; from the campus of the University of Notre Dame in South Bend, Indiana, etc.).
Program subjects will emphasize true freedom and liberty; decent jobs and earnings; affordable health care for every, every person; a preserved environment that protects coastal areas all around the world and the lands and peoples within; educational processes that assure development of each human being to the best of his/her potential; a sane immigration policy that does not condemn humans to desert and ocean deaths and children to being torn from their parents; government action where solutions demand more than humans are able to individually provide; a compassionate and sane foreign policy not reliant on wars of aggression.
