Thought this post was funny, and definitely had some merit as per how a rational conversation should and could proceed.

Can’t say how many times I have been told that having an opinion is very common, doing something about it was not. This whole time I have been working on FPR, I have been thinking that, getting the ideas that me and my friends mentally spar with, on a regular basis, needed to be shared. Here, is one of the great minds of our world making a compelling argument for world peace, and it’s benifits. So I always think that a world without war is something we all should hope and work for.

Would be nice to live without the fear we all seem to accept as normal.

So here is the, hopefully, final credit audio file.  Hope you like.

The Credits v4

We have re-worked the sounds, again… Think we are liking the opening better, but the closing will need some tweaking. I am probably not in the majority with how the closing sound should sound, but should take one more sitting and probably will have at least two more clips to share in the near future. We will keep you all advised on all progress.  Can’t wait to start the fun recordings.

We have re-worked the about page – made some suggested topics for your guest request, and have possibly found a place to record… will keep you all advised on progress.  New sound inputs and mikes on the way to improve the mobile sessions we hope to have.  So… We look forward to hearing from you.  Wanted to include samples of the audio… so check out the new preliminary cuts of the “title” & “credit” clips. Will post finals when we get new audio for some of it.

The United States is unusual among the industrial democracies in the rigidity of the system of ideological control – ”indoctrination,” we might say – exercised through the mass media. ~ Noam Chomsky

The Free Person’s Roundtable is a virtual community forum and podcast available on iTunes that aims to affect real-world change through dialogue and discussion.  The FPR podcast is a platform for public opinion that features free-thinking and progressive-minded people defining and commenting on the issues that they see as relevant in their lives and their very own visions for a better future. The topics discussed will include anything that has impact on our daily lives from education, religion, environment, technology, to health care, media, society, or art — the basic “A to Z’s” of life. We will also throw in some entertainment and fun because in the end we need to laugh along the way.

By discussing issues close to our hearts and daily lives, we hope to uncover the real sources that are negatively impacting our lives and discover alternatives.  When we try to come to solutions through unfiltered and uncensored dialogues, we open the door for new ideas.  By featuring the free persons of our podcast thinking freely for themselves, we hope to get people engaged, first in dialogue, and ultimately in actively improving their communities.

Media for the Rest of Us – Joining the New Paradigm

The media is too concentrated, too few people own too much. There’s really five companies that control 90 percent of what we read, see and hear. It’s not healthy. ~ Ted Turner

Recently, major media news has become increasingly political, corporate, destructive, and divisive.  Too often, big media censors our radical ideas labeling them as too outrageous for the mainstream.  Yet, some of those very same radical ideas, the truly original and innovative ones, can vastly change and help heal society.  In the current media system, we are reduced to being taxpayers, voters, viewers, workers, or just commodities. Rarely are we ever considered to be an intelligent, independent, and free thinking people with solutions.

FPR believes, we are all very able individuals capable of examining problems in our communities and acting independently to solve those issues at a grass roots level.  The FPR podcast is designed to create that forum for: we, the creative, self-aware, and independent people to partake in constructive, informative, and enlightening discourse.

Correspondents

We promise to always work completely independent of any mainstream major media market, without the help of any politicians, or be controlled by any big corporate investments. Come and join the new paradigm of democratized media. ~ The FPR Hosts
