Recently, during the few months that I spent out in the big room (thus the lack of details) major changes happened within Pacifica, and at WBAI. Amy Goodman no longer works at WBAI, and Democracy Now! is no longer recorded there. Goodman and many others including Dan Coughlin, Mark Dunston, Reggi Johnson, Joyce Jones, Ryme Katkhouda, Bob Lederer, Ayana Maitland, Errol Maitland, and Bernard White are now broadcasting and distributing programming from www.wbix.org (WBai In eXile). This programming includes Democracy Now!, Free Speech Radio News, Wake-Up Call, and a lot of other good content.

One example of what makes this sort of broadcasting so special is Off The Hook from November 30, 1999.1 The show is composed almost entirely of a live report of the WTO protests in Seattle by Amy Goodman. It is some of the most amazing radio I have ever heard. The www.2600.com web site has a brief description of the show, as well as mp3s and Real Audio files of the show.
