This morning, I participated in a discussion of the Final Exit Network arrests/investigations on the Bax & O’Brien show on Rock 102, broadcasting from Springfield, MA. I always approach live morning shows with a certain degree of apprehension, especially when dealing with two hosts. In the worst of cases, it can be a real experience of having been thoroughly piled-on by two pros at talking fast and holding the microphone.
This morning’s experience was a pleasant break from that tradition. It’s not that we agreed on everything, but both hosts were thoughtful and let me reply fully when challenged. I think the end result was a discussion worth listening to.
The link below is to an archived mp3 file of the broadcast. Within the next few days, I will post a transcript of the discussion, which lasts about ten minutes. Someone has volunteer to transcribe the show for me — and long-time readers know such a transcript might never happen at all if it was up to me to do the typing.

So, please have a listen and see what you think. Personally, I think that Bax & O’Brien did a better job on this than the coverage I’ve listened to on NPR. Not just because they had me on the show, but they asked much better questions. –Stephen Drake
