Whole Mother from sister station KPFT with Pat Jones
Community concerns expressed over the closer of midwifery services at a hospital in Houston. Pat is joined by her occasional sub host Debra Hall as a co-host and they speak with many recent mothers, doulas, and others about what the loss of the services means. KPFT is also in fund drive, so you will hear their appeals for support but please make your donations to KPFK to keep Whole Mother, Something's Happening and KPFK on the air here in Los Angeles and southern California.

4:00 AM
The Thom Hartmann Program
One hour only to accommodate the live broadcast of an extra hour of DN! from Chicago

5:00 AM
Democracy Now! special extra hour with Amy Goodman and the DN! crew
Live coverage of the Democratic National Convention in Chicago and of street protest and community issues in Chicago and the surrounding region. A second, different hour of DN! will air during its regular slot.

Please note that our sister station KPFA is airing two hours of DN! consecutively, and then rebroadcasting them for two hours more in the morning. This dislodged Mitch Jeserich with Letters and Politics from its normal 10 AM time slot. He is on the air live later, instead of KPFA's broadcast of Thom Hartmann, but by that time we are running Global Village.
So we have been airing Mitch's call-in program from the previous day as a delayed broadcast. Later this morning at 10 AM, after DN! and Hartmann, we will air Mitch's call-in program from yesterday, Tuesday morning. It is not a rebroadcast, just a delayed broadcast, so you will not be able to call in. Mitch will be live on KPFA at 11 AM -- we will air that on delay the following day.
