Video of Progressive Talk Radio speech of Norman Goldman

Posted on Author Julia Chase Comment(1)

Here is a video of the Norman Goldman speech in Seattle.

Party On for Progressive Radio with Norman Goldman was the first major event sponsored by Progressive Radio Northwest (PRNW). The evening was a great success, highlighted by the inimitable Nor-man, terrific speakers, and the feisty enthusiasm of a standing-room-only crowd.

At Party On, more than 250 attendees heard about the many challenges ahead and learned that PRNW firmly believes in the “challenge brings opportunity” school of thought.

The people who have formed Progressive Radio Northwest are looking at several options to bring back progressive radio to the Puget Sound Area, including finding a buyer or buyers who could purchase a station and convert it to progressive talk or creating an Internet radio station (Norman Goldman believes this is the way of the future).

The bad news of is that city after city has lost its only progressive radio station. The good news is that more and more people are speaking out and showing up.

You can view the entire evening or just Norman Goldman’s presentation by going to PRNW’s YouTube channel: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLTF6xN_Fap4QNeMoiXQZ95LjIPwxO9O0I

Stay tuned for further developments, and keep checking the PRNW website: www.progressiveradionorthwest.org.

One commonly hears the claim “The Democrats are as bad as the Republicans.” This is a gross exaggeration, both nationally and here in Washington State. Why does the claim have so much traction?

  1. “We have to get the notion out of our head that everything on the Internet is supposed to be free,” Goldman says.

    “There is no Santa Claus”. Progressive radio won’t happen. AM radio is losing money. We have to move to the Internet and go to a subscription-based model.

    At one point in the video, Goldman says, “Who was the genius who came up with the idea that everything online should be free?” Some people in the audience cheered, apparently believing that free is good. But Goldman realizes that if content is free, there’s no way to fund journalism and creativity, which are central to civilization and democracy.
