Unfortunately we don’t know -yet- how this new schedule will translate locally: 9, 10, 11 AM across the country.
Many stations are now selecting the shows they want  and it is up to them to  decide when to air them.
It is also up to you, the listeners, to ask them to air EcoTalk at a convenient time 🙂
Our list of AAR affiliates airing EcoTalk provides you with email and phone number: ask them if/when they now plan to air the show  and let them know your  wishes and support for EcoTalk.
Your call, your email can make a difference.
Thank you in advance for your help and feedback.

We’ll get the latest on environmental health threats left in the wake of Katrina…what the EPA won’t tell
you about lingering risks to human health in the disaster zone. We’ll
also get an update from Washington on the embattled Endangered Species
Act and meet a St. Louis man who packed up his family to head to DC for
last week’s protest against drilling in ANWR.
His story – and what he
learned from Americans along the way, will inspire you.

Some of the links of our previous shows (before september 1) have been modified by the server that hosts them and they did not inform us of the change: therefore many broken links we are now trying to fix asap.
If you want to correct yourself the address and get to the show you need to replace within the url:
/files/
by /archive/09.01.05/

Simple… but a lot of work 🙁
Our sincere apologies and thank you for your patience and understanding.
If/when you encounter a broken link, thanks for telling us so we can fix it. 🙂 Just send us a comment from the related posting (that will greatly facilitate our tracking and fixing of the problem).
