[rfu-membership] Fwd: Inquisitions download

[Andrew Ó Baoill]

I mentioned recently my desire to broadcast a special 2-hour radio  
play for May Day. We have an opening in our schedule from 12-2pm, and  
I'd like to broadcast the show during that slot on Thursday, May 1.

I forgot to mention this at our meeting yesterday, but I'd like, if  
there's no objection, to add this play to our automation system for  
this time slot on May 1. I'd also, again subject to general  
consensus, like to request that individuals refrain from pre-empting  
the play with live ad hoc programming (as they are generally entitled  
to do).

May Day originated, of course, in Illinois, and is now celebrated  
world-wide as the Workers' Holiday. Labor Day was introduced in the  
United States primarily to dampen demands from workers and unions  
that May Day become a recognized holiday. I think it would be fitting  
to mark May Day through broadcasting this play, given our mission to  
be a 'progressive radio station collective committed to social justice.'

I apologize for not raising this during our meeting yesterday, and  
welcome the comments of members on my proposal.

Andrew
