PGHIMC - Pittsburgh Independent Media Center

On this week's show...

• Paul Wright discusses his new book "Prison Profiteers - Who Makes Money From Mass Incarceration"
• This Week in Palestine, from the International Middle East Media Center
• And excerpts from "World VS. Bank" a film by Friends of the Earth International

We need your help! Starting this week, Rustbelt Radio will begin broadcasting bi-weekly episodes which are exclusively comprised of content from other independent media sources. We are making this change temporarily because our current all-volunteer staff cannot sustain the huge demands that come from producing a one hour original show every week.

If you would like Rustbelt Radio to continue producing original, local shows each week, please consider getting involved. If you are interested in volunteering, please contact us by emailing radio@indypgh.org or by calling 412-923-3000.
