You can download the show (and make a financial contribution) at:

The website also has a transcript of the show, but Mansur's voice is part of what makes this such a compelling and touching piece of journalism.

You can view, read, see and hear all of Amy's shows at their archive page:

Finally, if there were a god, I would ask Her to bless Amy Goodman and Democracy Now, one of the most significant Forces For Good in the world today.
