EP Podcast December/Early January Schedule

So many people are away at this time of year and into the holidays that guest scheduling-wise it's always a bit tricky to navigate. Fortunately, EP's line-up is now set through early January: This week, December 7th, I talk with Quil Lawrence, a BBC reporter (for most of the past seven years in Iraq and Kurdistan) and author of the forthcoming book, Invisible Nation: How the Kurds' Quest for Statehood Is Shaping Iraq and the Middle East. Friday December 14th my guest is Dr. Albert Allen Bartlett, Professor Emeritus of Physics and a highly regarded expert on sustainable economics, particularly as regards the issues of Peak Oil and population. On Friday December 21 I talk with Dr. William J. Astore, a retired USAF Lt. Col. and military historian. The last Friday in December, the 28th, my guest is Ambrose Evans-Pritchard, international business editor of the Telegraph, writing and reporting from London. Finally, January 4th, my guest will be Dr. John J. Mearsheimer, co-author with Dr. Stephen M. Walt of The Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy. All already recorded. (And scheduled next week [now recorded] I'll talk with Dean Radin, which should be for the show on January 11th.) My best wishes to everyone for a Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, and generally excellent holiday season.

∗ 12/19/07 One change: I'm switching Dean Radin and William J. Astore, for practical reasons (the Astore audio needs much more ironing out and this week I've got my phlebotomy and so will be too tired), and because on mulling it over it seems to me that Radin is much more appropriate for the week before Christmas.
