Guests: Author Bill McKibben and MovieLine’s Chris Rosen

Sam has a Friday packed of guests and an an almost hour long Members Only show. Reminder: If you are not a Majority Report member you miss out on the Members Only Show podcast where Sam covers more articles and personal stories that didn’t fit in the free show.

The anti-Battlestar Senior Editor of MovieLine.com Chris Rosen reunites with Sam after a two week hiatus to talk Oscars and give this weekend’s movie picks.

On Demand (or Amazon On Demand): 127 Hours
Netflix: The Chase (ugh!?!)

Bill McKibben, author and founder of 350.org, speaks to Sam Seder about the conviction of nonviolent climate activist Timothy DeChristopher and predicts we’ll see more of this type of confrontational activism and discusses the need for a change in tactics of the environmental movement.

On today’s Members Only show Sam earns his “Explicit” rating discussing the new charges brought against Bradley Manning and his treatment in prison, talks of the Alma mater, is voting Cylon in 2012, and plugs JustCoffee.coop tea (with code MAJORITY to get 10% off).

Enjoy the weekend!
