The next two episodes are going to be Convention-focused. This week the Dems were up, next week the Reps. There are several clips from Demoracy Now that I am playing on the show, as they seemed to give the best coverage, as well as a different perspective that isn't clouded over with the same talking points.

*Opening: Tavis Smiley on Expectations
*The plan for the next two shows
*DN Clip #1- general overview of convention center
  - What's happening outside the convention center
  - "Free Speech Cage" Really?
*DN Clip #2- the AT&T Party
  - No one wants anyone to know who they are!
  - Well, the Republicans don't care really
  - Glenn Greenwald talks about telecom immunity
*Homework Assignment: Get all parties included in Presidential Debates!
  - Click HERE for all the details, all the work is done. Just copy, paste, repeat.
*DN Clip #3- Talking to delegates in the Convention Center. They are very well trained!
  - I do heart Kucinich, but I think his efforts are futile. He's too independent to be a Democrat!
  - Here's a thought: No Labels!
*DN Clip #4- More protests. Also a good game of "Who's the Cop?"
*Feedback!

Hey friends! Just a quick update to let you all know that I am home from all my world travels! It's been a great summer, but I am ready to get back to seeking that truth, and bring you my version of it.

I've been thinking a lot about how to improve on the show, and I think one way to help keep the news I bring listeners current is to attempt a weekly show. Yes, weekly! Now, we know me and my skills of procrastination, which is why I say attempt. We'll see what happens...

At any rate, episode #52, and a whole new "season" of Truth Seekers begins August 6th!

See you soon!

~Dani

PS- Podcasters! I'm looking for promos! If you would like to have your promo played on the show, I'd be honored to do so.
