[rfu-automation] Public affairs block update

[Andrew Ó Baoill]

I've cleaned up the public affairs block, adding in some extra  
content I found out about at NFCB, particularly content from the Drug  
Truth Network. I also talked with the very nice people from Mary  
Knoll, who now have a podcast, but they currently publish their show  
in two parts, so we need to figure another way to get it into our  
schedule.

Here's the public affairs block at present:

4-4:30 M-F: Progressive point of view, UN radio news, 4-20 (from Drug  
Truth Network), Mumia commentaries
4-4:30 Sa/Su: Progressive point of view, Mumia, UN Radio news, Media  
Minutes

4:30-5: M War News Radio; T Media Geek; W Corporate Watchdog; Th The  
Progressive; F Making Contact; Sa Corporate Watchdog; Su War News Radio

5-6pm: M Century of Lies, Cultural Baggage; T Media Matters; W  
Deconstructing Dinner; Th Rustbelt Radio; F New Internationalist  
Radio; Sa Media Matters; Su Deconstructing Dinner

6-6-:30: As per 4-4:30

6:30-7 (M-Su): Radio France Internationale, DN! en espanol; Deutsche  
Welle;

7-8: M-F as per 5-6; Sa Rustbelt Radio; Su New Internationalist Radio

I'm hoping to continue to add new content, particularly Maryknoll's  
Voices of Our World and repeats of any podcast WRFU public affairs  
content. Of course, this material only airs when no live programming  
is going out, so we aren't necessarily reliably carrying the shows.

I'm also looking at ways to add various podcasts to our website - for  
each show we carry as well as by topic, etc. This would have very  
little impact on us, as the files would continue to be hosted by the  
publishers, but would add value to our site.
