Because I always consider voting and elections to be serious topics, I thought it might be useful to post some of the references and notes that I used for the May 29th show. Some of the points were not addressed during the show due to time. – Mike

The date for this show was set far in advance, but by serendipitous political chance, it also turned out to be on Texas Primary Election Day. I’ve decided to do something apropos.
My scheduled guest is Dr. Cole Blease Graham, Jr., a visiting professor of political science and government at Texas A&M University, at The Bush School of Government and Public Service.
The tentative topic will be … Elections! How close they can get, and how to motivate voters and potential voters to participate in them.

While we may drift as the conversation develops, I think that these are the topics I’ve settled on and, briefly, the reasons why.

The show runs less than a half hour, so I’m providing some additional background for listeners who want more depth on the guests and topics.
Below are autobiographical sketches of my guests, and below that are links to articles and background material which they have suggested.
My exciting new relationship with KPFT in Houston (90.1 FM), Thinkwing Radio with Mike Honig is continues with my next scheduled show on April 11th (Wednesday at 9:30-9:55 am CT). It will be both timely and intriguing.
My confirmed guests will be Edward Hirs and Michael Skelly. The topic I’ll begin to explore is “Energy Independence: We Talk About It, But What Does It Mean?” The sorts of questions I’d like to discuss: Continue reading
As the next steps in my exciting new relationship with KPFT in Houston (90.1 FM), Thinkwing Radio with Mike Honig is currently scheduled to do 2 shows. The topic for May 29th (Tuesday at 9:30-9:55 am CT) is still TBD.
However, the April 11th show (Wednesday at 9:30-9:55 am CT) is taking shape, and will be both timely and intriguing.

I am excited to announce that I have been in contact with KPFT in Houston (90.1 FM), and I am currently scheduled to do a 25 minute show on Wednesday, January 11 (from 9:30-9:55 am CST) in their “Open Journal” slot.
The tentative subject of this interview will be, “The Brave New World of War & Peace: Is it time to agree on new rules?”
To my knowledge, the last time any nation declared war on any other was when the United States reciprocated Nazi Germany’s declaration of war on the U.S. (The Germans had declared war on the U.S. under their mutual defense treaty with Japan, following the U.S.’s declaration of war on Japan after Pearl Harbor.)
Since 1942, then, there have been plenty of wars and invasions, but no declarations of war between nations. Now the United States (and presumably others, now or in the future) are using covert ‘boots on the ground’ (e.g., Seal Team 6) or unmanned drones to attack and/or surveille opponents and potential adversaries.
What is the logical direction for this type of warfare to follow, what are its long-term implications for international relations, and what can or should be done to pro-actively control directions of this new future of war, peace, and the twilight in-between?
My scheduled guest is D.B. (David) Grady. David is an essayist, novelist, and a Correspondent for The Atlantic. He is a former paratrooper with U.S. Army Special Operations Command and a veteran of Afghanistan. He is currently co-authoring an examination of the secrecy apparatus of the United States, with Marc Ambinder. (John Wiley & Sons, 2012). The duo recently completed an e-book single for release next year. (John Wiley & Sons, 2012).
This should be an exciting show, about a topic which has rarely if ever been discussed. We will probably barely have time to scratch the surface of this subject, which we will no doubt re-visit.
I am excited to announce that I have been in contact with KPFT in Houston (90.1 FM), and am currently scheduled to do a couple of 25 minute shows on Tuesday the 27th and Thursday the 29th. Both shows will air at 9AM CST, entitled “Open Journal – Community Conversation – Daily Call-in”
These programs are in addition to a scheduled program which is planned to be more like the original Thinkwing Radio with Mike Honig, albeit in a shorter format (25 minutes)
Also on Wednesday, January 11 (from 9:30-9:55 am CST) I’ll be hosting a show in their “Open Journal” slot.
The guest(s) and topic are TBD, but I will keep you all posted on developments as they occur.
Suggestions for guests and topics are welcome!
