In our the next edition of Subversity, a KUCI public affairs program, we delve into two controversial issues this election season.
In part 1 of the program, we talk with two filmmakers, Mike Roth and John Henning, who directed a documentary, “Saving Marriage,” on the ultimate success in Massachusetts to forestall a voter-ban on gay marriage. We’ll ask them what lessons can be learned given that California voters will vote in November whether or not to ban gay marriage ( Prop. 8 ) and overturn the state Supreme Court’s recent ruling allowing it.

In part 2, given the controversy over Barack Obama’s “palling around” (allegedly) with former fugitive Weatherman Bill Ayers (now a respected education professor in Chicago), we re-air portions of a past interview we conducted with Prof. Ayers. We asked him then to reflect on his fugitive days.
The show airs from 9-10 a.m, this Monday, 6 October 2008, on KUCI, 88.9 fm in Orange County and is webcast simultaneously via http://kuci.org.
