Award-winning journalist Amy Goodman spoke Friday, May 23 at Asheville-Buncombe Technical Community College as part of a national tour for her new book, “Standing Up to Madness: Ordinary Heroes in Extraordinary Times.” The talk was held in AB-Tech’s Ferguson Auditorium on the Asheville campus. Proceeds from the event went to the nonprofit Mountain Area Information Network (MAIN) and its radio station, WPVM-LP, 103.5 FM.
“Standing Up to Madness” chronicles the achievements of everyday citizens across the United States who have challenged government and corporate power and prevailed.
Goodman co-authored the book with her brother, investigative reporter David Goodman. The book is currently 29th on the New York Times bestseller list.
Goodman hosts the daily, syndicated show, “Democracy Now!“, which is heard on more than 750 public access TV and community radio stations, including WPVM.
“Democracy Now!” is broadcast locally Monday-Friday at 8 a.m., noon and 6 p.m. on WPVM, and it can be streamed live at wpvm.org.
Amy also stopped by the WPVM studio Friday afternoon and sat down with Wally Bowen for an interview. We’ve put the audio up on wpvm.org for you to download or stream.
