Interview with Obama Girl Producer Ben Relles!

Welcome to Light On Light Through Episode 44, An Interview with Obama Girl Producer Ben Relles ... We cover everything in this powerful, revealing 20-minute interview ... how Ben and the team at BarelyPolitical.com came up with the idea for Obama Girl ... how Amber Lee Ettinger was chosen to be Obama Girl ... the role of songwriter singer Leah Kauffman ... Barack Obama and his campaign's reaction to the Obama Girl videos, and Ben's response to this reaction ... placement of BarelyPolitical.com in the history and future of political satirical television and video ... You won't want to miss a second of this candid, informative interview...

Plus flashes ... Ben Relles, Amber Lee Ettinger, and Leah Kauffman will be at my class at Fordham University, September 21 ... my thoughts about Dylan's "With God On Our Side" after seeing Scorsese's No Direction Home - does it remind you of Mike Huckabee's statement in the last Presidential debate about the role of "God" in our continuation of the war in Iraq (this in response to Ron Paul's critique of our war policy)...

I go head-to-head with Bill O'Reilly on The Factor about the private lives of news casters

from Idris Elba, who played Stringer Bell on The Wire: 11/7/2006 6:22 AM "Paul, I just had to take the time out to drop you a line to say, that it is an absolute honour to have such a scholar like yourself dedicate an entire podcast to me, my music and my role as Stringer Bell. Incredible dissection of what made followers of The Wire gravitate towards my character. My music is about giving that same heart, but with my very own script.... Cheers, Idris"
