Sabrina Artel's Trailer Talk can now be heard every Friday at 2pm on WJFF Radio Catskill 90.5FM in Jeffersonville, New York.
Trailer Talk is a public conversation that always includes many more people during the live event than are included in the audio program. In all cases the audio program which is the secondary component of the Trailer Talk project is only a portion of the conversations shared at my mobile kitchen table. I am grateful to all of the participants during Trailer Talk both inside and outside of the trailer. Everyone who participates in Trailer Talk is important to both the live and the recorded audio event. Thanks so much to everyone for joining in on the conversations!

Details: Elisa Young Speaks Out, No Coal is Clean, Kayford Mountain, WV 10.10.08 Photo by Donna Binder. This week's road session: "We're just going to have to work to create the kind of future we want", Elisa Young speaks out. Elisa joined me late one night this summer on Kayford Mountain West Virginia at the Mountainkeepers Music Festival hosted by Larry Gibson. This is a continuing series from the conversations on the mountaintop. Her Ohio hometown has four coal-fired power plants surrounding them and very high cancer rates. The coal companies (clean coal, NOT!) want to build five more, along with several other coal-dependent industries and intensive mining. If this happens it would become the largest concentration of coal plants in the USA. The grassroots group that she founded is fighting back. Elisa is organizing a work session the last weekend of October where they are building a straw-bale house on her family farm. Elisa was awarded an international award in 2006 (Women's Peace Power Foundation) for community organizing efforts and taking media, activists, and those pushing for social change on "True Cost of Coal Tours." The straw-bale building will be used for sleeping and teaching space, in addition to being used as an educational space to strengthen the connection between the students who want to make a difference on the coal issues and her community in Southwestern Ohio by setting up community service projects, organizing work and seminars. If you want to bring Elisa to your neighborhood to speak about what the coal industry is really doing to people's lives please give her a call (740-416-2694). Thank you Elisa!
