Ward Churchill is a writer, political activist, and academic. He is a tenured full professor of ethnic studies at the University of Colorado at Boulder, and author of over 20 books and hundreds of essays. In addition to his academic writing, Churchill has written for several general readership magazines of political opinion. His work is primarily about the U.S. and its historical treatment of political dissenters and of American Indian peoples.
Churchill was widely discussed and criticized in the mass media in 2005, for a 2001 essay in which Churchill questioned the innocence of many of the people killed in the World Trade Center attacks, labeling them as “technocrats” and “little Eichmanns.” The University of Colorado stated support for Churchill’s right to engage in controversial political speech.
Following an investigation of Churchill’s past research, the University’s Standing Committee on Research Misconduct recommended Churchill be sanctioned for repeated acts of “serious research misconduct.” On June 26, 2006, CU Interim Chancellor Phil DiStefano issued a notice of intent to dismiss Churchill from his faculty position at the University of Colorado Boulder. Some observers concerned with academic freedom argue that the investigation is in retaliation for Churchill’s controversial statements about the World Trade Center attacks.

Voice of SpongeBob SquarePants
Previously Aired On: December 5, 2006 - Listen to this Show!
Thomas James “Tom” Kenny is an American voice actor who is perhaps best known for his work in the animated series SpongeBob SquarePants, in which he is the voice of the title character, the narrator, Patchy the Pirate, and a number of other characters. Besides voice acting, he was also a cast member of the HBO sketch comedy program Mr. Show.
We are pleased to have Tom as a guest. People don’t realize how much humor can contribute to peace, healing, and understanding. Tom made the transition from standup comedy to voice characterizations in a big way. Destined to become as legendary as Jim Backus (Mr. Magoo) or June Foray (Rocky of Rocky & Bullwinkle), Tom’s talent entertains young and old alike both with his voice characterizations and his on-screen acting appearances. If you’ve seen cartoons like CatDog, The Powerpuff Girls, Dexter’s Laboratory, or any of 30 or so other animated cartoon series and films you have heard Tom’s voice at one time or another.
What do Spongebob Squarepants and Al Gore have in common?
Answer: In 2005, Spongebob appeared in an educational short The Endless Summer which explored the effects of global warming. Thus proving that a humorous character brought to life on screen and through the voice of one Tom Kenny can make a difference for the better in a very unique way with a smile.
