Justin Oakley’s Pro-Public Education Radio Show Starts November 20, 2013

by Doug Martin

Douglas Storm’s 6pm Tuesday night Interchange program on WFHB in Bloomington has been one of the very few avenues where pro-public education advocates in Indiana have been able to voice their concerns. Now Hoosiers will be happy to know that Justin Oakley’s new radio show Just Let Me Teach will appear on Indiana Talks every Wednesday night from 9-10pm, starting tomorrow, November 20th. 

A veteran classroom teacher, Justin is best known for being the first one to challenge Tony Bennett for the Indiana supt. of public schools position and creating the Just Let Me Teach wristbands that are being worn by educators across the country and were even featured in the Washington Post Answer Sheet.  Check out the Just Let Me Teach facebook page and order the wristbands at this link.

You can find the life stream to Justin’s show online, or at TuneIn and Live 365.  Please tune in and let the station know that we support the show. 

Doug Martin Interview Tonight at 6pm on WFHB in Bloomington, Indiana

Tonight, Doug Storm will interview Doug Martin on the hour-long community affairs interview/discussion program "Interchange" on WFHB, the community radio station in Bloomington, Indiana.  The show, "Muckraking Education," will focus on the systemic fraud that has undermined the very idea of the public good. From the public conception of political office as representation to the public school as a leveling ground of social opportunity, we'll talk about the way these institutions serve power and wealth all while maintaining a disabling democratic illusion.  All ground Doug covers here as well as in his forthcoming book, Hoosier School Heist.

You can livestream the program at wfhb.org.  The program will be available to download as a podcast immediately following the show on the Interchange page.
