You may forward my remarks to the CrashList. Seth and Stajabu (who sometimes post to the Crash list) have also been on the show. Last year Access Sacramento did an audience survey and found that Soapbox had an audience of 24,000-25,000 viewers which we have built up over almost seven years on the air. It is amazing how many people watch our show. Monday night a couple of my neighbors stopped me and said that their six year old son had seen me on TV and was it true? All the kids down at the park where I take my dog for a walk have seen me on the show which is really remarkable since I'm on only occasionally as host (usually on environmental issues). Sacramento is unique in how well they do cable access, but I think we on the left have an opportunity to reach people that we normally don't come in contact with. One of my hosts has been publishing a quarterly newspaper for several years but I suspect that it just reaches the 'usual leftist suspects'. One of my favorite stories about the show happened 2-3 years ago. Every other week we do a live show with call-ins and I quite often do the call screening myself. Anyway this one night a woman called up and wanted to argue about most everything our hosts were saying. Finally after she ranted for a couple of minutes, I stopped her and asked her why she was watching our show since she didn't seem to agree with anything we were saying. She replied that we were the best thing on. Keep in mind that this is prime time on Monday at 8 p.m. and this wasn't during football season. Even if people disagree with us they still need the discussion and hopefully the information. So I would like to encourage others to look into the local possibilities of cable TV.

 

Keep up the good work,

Mark,

I would like to be on your official Crash list although the traffic is heavy and sometimes I have to delete a lot of messages because I just don't have the time to read them all. That being said the list has provided me information and links I just would not have found on my own including Prof. Michael Perleman who I had on my cable access TV show late last year on the subject of his book, "The Invention of Capitalism". I may need to bring him back to talk about his new book, "The Natural Instability of Markets" especially in 'light' of the electrical deregulation fiasco here in California. Also I liked the portrait of Lenin as someone that enjoyed life that you sent out yesterday(?).

Thanks again,

Ken Adams, Sacramento County Green Party spokesperson and producer of Sacramento Soapbox
