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: Obama Rally Monticello, New York 10.17.08 This week's road session, Coming to you from small town America: I live in small town America and want to make it clear that we here in these small towns are diverse and not singularly defined. The culture wars cannot simply be defined by ideas of urban and rural, and my experience of living in the country has been one of inclusivity, community care, complexity and organizing. Since I was born in a large city (Houston), grew up in another mega-city (Los Angeles) and spent years in NYC before moving to sparsely populated Sullivan County in the Catskills of upstate New York, where my village of Liberty has 3,700 people, I have the perspective of being both an insider and an outsider and a non-local full-timer. With my Trailer Talk project I have been bringing conversation to the streets and the project continues to explore who we are, In These Mountains, On the Line and Looking for Liberty among them. Over homemade treats at the kitchen table of my 1965 Bee Line travel trailer, I have been having frank conversations about issues that are important to us. Please join me for some of my recent talks. Last week I went to an Obama Rally at the Courthouse Square in Monticello (county seat), N.Y., where I was inspired by the community organizing, the performers and the hopefulness in these challenging times for the Obama/Biden ticket. I spoke to "staunch" Republicans who will vote for Obama. So if that's not hopeful, I don't know what is? On Sunday I went to the tiny hamlet of North Branch, N.Y. where a benefit was being held for the grassroots group Catskill Citizens for Safe Energy that formed around the concern about the possibility of natural gas drilling in our neighborhoods.     Next stop, the ENVIROFEST at the Black Bear Film Festival in Milford, PA. As always, all viewpoints are welcome, come on in.
