AMHERST, MA - October 24, 2007 - If you think corporations have the power to steer us toward sustainability or drive us into the proverbial ditch, then Corporate Watchdog Radio is required listening! Now, two years after launching, CWR is significantly raising its profile by podcasting through CSRwire.com's expanded suite of Web media services. And earlier this year CWR's founders--sustainability journalist/professor Bill Baue and environmental attorney/filmmaker Sanford Lewis--beefed up the team by adding award-winning radio journalist Francesca Rheannon to the line-up.
Baue, Lewis, and Rheannon blend expertise in the sustainability field with a deep sense of curiosity to draw out the passions of their guests. And they have attracted an A-list of sustainability thought leaders, activists, and businesspeople:
Podcast subscriptions to Corporate Watchdog Radio span the globe, fueled for example by Professor Jeremy Williams of U21Global in Singapore assigning his MBA students to listen in. The program also airs on a number of independent and Pacifica radio stations nationwide (see list below). And CSR-related websites, including CSR-news.net and Accountability-Central.com, also carry the show.
