Radio Session 2: September Hour

3-5 mins Intro: "Good afternoon great unwashed. This is Rise Up Rebel Radio North East, the radio that brings you the alternative to Murdoch's uncomfortably numb spin and an alternative to the noose. You are not alone. Today on the show we will be discussing the recent riots, contrasting the mainstream media's coverage with news on the ground from local people. Who is feeding the fiction? The question is: not what happened, but why did it happen? We will be discussing the mighty Transition Town movement with our guest speaker and fellow tree hugger, Anna Heyman. So turn off Jeremy Kyle, rip up that extortionate gas bill, fight against the government stealing your future, unless you're rich of course, and stay tuned."
