Talk radio on C-SPAN
C-SPAN's Campaign 2008 Bus rolled into Ames on Monday, Jan. 22, as part of
the cable television network's "Road to the White House" tour across
the United States. During their stay on campus, the "Dr. Politics"
WOI radio program was taped during its live radio broadcast and will be aired
at a later date on C-SPAN. "Dr. Politics" is hosted by Steffen Schmidt,
University Professor of political science along with Katherine Perkins, "Talk
of Iowa" host (top photo). The C-SPAN Bus introduces thousands of teachers,
students and schools to C-SPAN programming as an educational tool. The bus is
a mobile multi-media demonstration center and TV production unit.
