KCSB FM is once again providing an important service to the Santa Barbara community by airing an exclusive lecture by Naomi Klein, author of the book, “The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism.” Klein’s lecture will air Monday, November 12, at 8 a.m., as part of KCSB’s singular Santa Barbara Lectures series. Worldwide audiences may listen online at kcsb.org.
Naomi Klein’s lecture, sponsored by UCSB’s Arts & Lectures program, quickly filled up the Victoria Hall Theater in September 2007, and many people were turned away at the door. Listeners can receive an audio copy of the lecture on CD (or an autographed copy of Naomi Klein’s book) as a thank-you gift for making a donation during the radio station’s yearly Pledge Drive. Call (805) 893-2424 to support your favorite commercial-free radio station — KCSB!
