DENNIS BERNSTEIN PART I

Conversation with Dennis Bernstein, host and producer of Flashpoints,

a daily news program that airs from Pacifica Radio on KPFA in Berkeley,

California. Our conversation with Dennis Bernstein is of particular interest

in view of his association with community radio. An advocate for social justice,

the story of his arrest in 1999 at station KPFA in Berkeley is one of courage

for integrity in broadcasting. Dennis is also a poet and frequent collaborator on

artistic projects.

PoetsWest is syndicated. If you are unable to receive PoetsWest programs on your local non-profit community radio, we encourage you to pass this message to them. PoetsWest, through its affiliation with KSER 90.7 FM, makes our radio programs available to non-profit radio stations around the nation and the globe. Help to get the word out to friends and relatives in other areas. There is no money involved in this project but it does offer much wider exposure to the poets and provides additional programming to your local non-profit radio station. PoetsWest is listed on Pacifica’s AudioPort.org web site under Weekly Programs.
