Persian and Experimental Electronic Music with Ata Ebtekar aka Sote
22/04/2015 Duration: 52minAta Ebtekar also known as Sote has been carving his own path in the lexicon of electronic music for the better part of 2 decades. Ata attended school in Germany and later audio engineering school in the San Francisco bay area. It happened to be the same school Robbie Martin (co-host of Media Roots Radio and aka Fluorescent Grey) attended, Expression Center for New Media. Expression was home to not just audio students but also cgi and visual students many of whom later ended up working for Hollywood fx companies. Ata was a few classes ahead of Robbie and through a random series of circumstances they became friends and later Ata became an artist who would release multiple works on Robbie's long running music imprint 'Record Label Records'.

Abby Martin Goes to Gitmo
05/09/2014 Duration: 01h57minRecently I traveled to one of the most nefarious prisons in the world: Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Despite repeated government pledges to close the infamous detention facility down, 149 men remained indefinitely imprisoned there. According to a Bush administration official, the vast majority of prisoners are innocent, and were either swept up in a dragnet or handed over in exchange for US bounties. It's already hard enough to travel to Gitmo as a journalist, but upon arrival I realized the experience was going to be totally controlled, with 24/7 military official escorts preventing us from going near the detainees I had come to report on. However, I was able to speak with several top brass who serve as defense attorneys for the military commissions, a corrupted system that grants alleged terrorists less rights than in civilian courts. The fact that six men are facing formal charges at the prison in relation to 9/11 & the USS Cole bombing gives the world the false impression that even alleged terrorists get their
