Episode 153, The Urban Shooter Podcast

153 – American History Part Three

This week on The Urban Shooter Podcast I share some goals for the rest of the year and ask a couple of questions of the listeners to help US focus the show on what we have instead of what we want. I tried to mark the different segments but don’t think it came through on the MP3. I exegete the tale of Dr. Ossian Sweet with some little known historical facts like the similarities between the classic hit play/ movie “Raisin in the Sun” and what happened in 1925. To get us there, I tied the fact that Blues music and the railroad are connected to African American culture. I even found the closing argument for defense attorney Clarence Darrow that I read for your edification.

I figured out that I am hard wired to the “call and response” tradition of Spirituals, Gospel music, blues and cadence calling. Those types of songs seem to work better with me. I sing Howling Wolfs’ lost classic, “Smokestack Lightning.” It was fun and hard to sing actually.

I had a nice long talk with Skip Coryell, writer, publisher, activist and founder of the Second Amendment March that is coming in April 2010.

In the news:
New phone app coming for this show. I am excited to see what the iTunes App for the podcast is going to look like. I was approached by a developer to make one for the show. If you have ideas on what would make it great let me know.

I just published a book by Derek Ward called “Zombie Strike” for the Kindle and as an eBook.

Zombie Targets are available as is other Cool Stuff you can find on www.blackmanwithagun.com and www.urbanshooterpodcast.com.
