Back on the KPFK Airwaves! Gustavo Arellano and William Nericcio on the Librotraficantes for Arizona and More...

It was great being on the radio again today, KPFK to be exact, with the infamous, amazing author of Ask a Mexican and, now, Taco USA--the one and only Gustavo Arellano. Our sequence begins about 20 minutes in, but listen to the whole thing (streaming) if you have an hour or so to burn (while you are updating your Facebook page ;-0). The ipodcast is here.

The War on Ethnic Studies | KPFK.ORG | Gustavo Arellano Radio Show | June 3, 2010 |

Yours truly, Bill Nericcio, the ringleader for The Tex[t]-Mex Galleryblog, was on the radio today with Chicano miscreant and OC Weekly columnist Gustavo Arellano. I come on at the 25-minute mark or so. The show is available directly from the KPFK Archive page or here as a podcast, stream, or download. The topic for today's show are the origins and the strategies implicit in the recent attacks on Ethnic Studies in Arizona and beyond.

Here's a short piece on ethnic studies from Colorlines. Other noteworthy postings are included here as well from The LA Times, and The New York Times. Marc Cooper's piece from The Nation, on the recent anti-anti-immigration Arizona laws is also worth a look.

Hit the image to your left for a Gustavo Arellano's hilarious piece on UCLA-Mexi-loathers incensed by the temerity of his speaking at their kids' graduation at UCLA. Listen in tomorrow after 3:15pm or so on KPFK--Arellano and yours truly will be holding forth on the radio regarding the Chicano Studies, Ethnic Studies, Arizona, Anti-Mexican fervor, and more.

Gustavo Arellano and Yours Truly on KPFK.ORG, from Thursday, May 6, 2010

Is Cinco de Mayo a sacred, Mexican, historical holiday? Or is it more an excuse to get wasted at various Dreenko de Mayo, cantina celebrations. That's what's on tap (pardon the pun!) in this 40 minute, rambling radio dialogue between me, Bill Nericcio, and Gustavo Arellano, the OCs amazing Mexican mouthpiece.

Here are three flavors of the show (I come on at the 20 minute mark): podcast flavor; streaming flavor; and, last but not least, download.

Here's a related posting at the LA Times by Daniel Hernandez--with a link back to piece by Arellano! Shades of the Borgesian labyrinth!

ORIGINAL POSTING 9/8/09

Not since the days that I anchored the "What's Bothering Bill" lefty radio commentary show on the East Coast at WHUS, Storrs, Connecticut, have I been as excited as I am now. Working with Gustavo Arellano and KPFK, that indy shining tower of radio power in LA, I am going to be breaking out on the air this coming Tuesday with a radio version of Tex[t]-Mex: Seductive Hallucinations of the "Mexican" in America.

We are still working with the determination of day-laborers, sweating the details over the segments, but I can guarantee one of the pieces will go by the name BROWN IVORY TOWER, set interviews where I talk to some chingon or chingona Latina/o academic, wreaking intellectual havoc across the winsome, gringo laced plains of academe. UPDATE! I will be interviewing the Chicano King of Ohio State University's English Department, the one and only loco-genius Frederick Luis Aldama--Aldama's the author of YOUR BRAIN ON LATINO COMICS (UT PRESS, 2009)

Be sure to tune in on Tuesday, September 8, 2009 @ 5pm, KPFK 90.7 FM--just hit the nifty tote bag to your left and be instantly transported to the online version of KPFK where you can listen via streaming media; if you live in San Diego county, KPFK comes through for some folks via the magic of their radio dial!
