• producer Anthony "Big Nice" Walters picked our September interview with "Smokin”’ Joe Stiglitz for the "Best of Two Thousand-Sux" show. Joe is the Nobel Prize winning economist and author of the book, "Making Globalization Work" (Penguin UK). He’s the former Senior Vice President and Chief Economist of the World Bank. The Stigmeister founded the Initiative for Policy Dialogue, a think tank on international development based at Columbia University where he is a professor. He also chairs the University of Manchester’s Brooks World Poverty Institute.
• your bitter blind broke gap-toothed radio show host chose the October interview with Counterpunch’s Alexander Cockburn who also writes the "Beat the Devil" column in The Nation.
• Dan "The Auto Man" Litchfield who does the auto segment on This is Hell, liked the February conversation with religious scholar Bart Ehrman, author of “Misquoting Jesus: The Story of Who Changed the Bible and Why” (HarperSanFrancisco). Bart is a graduate of the fundamentalist Christian Moody Bible Institute and the Christian evangelical Wheaton College, and is now the chair of the Department of Religious Studies at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill. Bart is also the author of “Lost Christianities: The Battles for Scripture and The Faiths We Never Knew” and “Lost Scriptures: Books that Did Not Make It into the New Testament.”

Dan Lithcfield gave his car report from New Orleans, Jeff Dorchen delivered a Moment of Truth, Kevan Harris, "The Radical Pessimist," taught us a thing or two, and Elvis DeMorrow had revelations aplenty from his Konspiracy Korner.
