Dear Friends,
I’ve been informed that my piece on how Internet tactics have changed by both the Iranian government and the opposition, particularly since Sunday’s Ashura protests, will be airing today.
It will be available on any of these stations (and their Internet streams):
NYC – 3 pm Eastern – WNYC – 820 AM – www.wnyc.org
Washington, DC – 8 pm Eastern – WAMU – 88.5 FM – www.wamu.org
Los Angeles – 12 pm Pacific – KPCC – 89.3 FM – www.kpcc.opg
Boston – 4 pm Eastern – WGBH – 89.7 FM – www.wgbh.org
San Francisco – 2 pm Pacific – KQED – 88.5 FM – www.kqed.org
You can also likely find it on your local public radio station, and The World’s site later in the day and also on my site if you miss the broadcast.
Also, don’t forget about The World’s Tech Podcast, hosted by my boss, Clark Boyd. It comes out every Friday.
Lemme know if you hear it!
Happy New Year to all!

I heard this! Great job, Cyrus. I like the way you formed a background of the piece w/ describing setting of current events then transitioned into Internet issues. I remember a reference to “haystack” – was that during this same edition of The World?
