It was an excellent interview that went for well over 90 minutes, and had quite a few questions from the audience. I am intrigued to see how it sounds in the 27 minute 30 second edited version.
Incidentally, to prepare for the interview I purchased Paul’s book on the similarities between the activists and revolutionaries of 19th century Europe and those campaigning for workers rights in the Third World today, Live Working or Die Fighting. It was an engaging read which I highly recommend. I notice that he has a new book out now “Why It’s Kicking Off Everywhere: The New Global Revolutions“. I’ll add that to my Kindle shortly.
Watch out. When Steve says GMT, he means GMT+daylight savings. This is actually being broadcast on Monday @ 8:30pm BST which is 7:30 pm GMT. BST is British Summer Time, the daylight savings version of GMT. So if you intend to listen to the program via the Internet at broadcast time, you need to tune in an hour earlier than you may have thought. In Toronto and the eastern US, the broadcast time will be Monday @ 3:30pm. In Sydney and eastern Australia, it will be Tuesday @ 5:30 am.
Yes LWoDF is good. I’m very pleased that the two of you got to sit down and talk together.
