Noam Chomsky's
B.U. address to air on WSKG Public Radio
Wednesday, 3/8, 1pm and 7pm (also 1pm Thursday, 3/9 on WSQX 91.5)
World-renowned linguist, political philosopher, and
writer Noam Chomsky spoke to a standing room only crowd
Saturday 3/4 at Anderson Center's Osterhout Concert Theater
on the Binghamton University campus. Some estimates place
the crowd over 2,000 in the hall and watching a closed
circuit feed in the adjoining Chamber Hall.
"Arguably the most important intellectual alive," according
to the New York Times, the famous MIT professor and long
term activist for peace and social justice delivered
a two-hour talk entitled "Imminent Crises: Paths
Toward Solutions". The event featured nearly an
hour of questions and answers.
WSKG Public Radio recorded the lecture for broadcast
this Wednesday, March 8, at 1pm, repeating at 7pm. WSKG
will take the unusual step of broadcasting a two-hour
speech in the “Newsmaker Luncheon” slot,
usually occupied by one-hour lectures. The first hour
of “Performance Today” will be pre-empted
in the 2-3pm hour; “From the Top” will begin
one hour later than usual at 9pm; and “SymphonyCast” will
be heard at 10pm this week only.
