Podcast appearances and mentions of anna gomez

On Tuesday, NPR and three Colorado public radio stations sued the Trump administration for violating the First Amendment. On this week's On the Media, the soon-to-be lone Democratic commissioner at the FCC speaks out against what she calls the weaponization of her agency. Plus, the final episode of The Divided Dial introduces the unlikely group trying to take over shortwave radio.[01:37] Host Micah Loewinger speaks with Anna Gomez, soon to be the lone Democratic commissioner at the Federal Communications Commission, about her makeshift media tour–where Gomez is speaking out about what she sees as the weaponization of her agency. [12:47] Episode 4 of The Divided Dial, Season 2: Wall St. Wants Your Airwaves. In recent years, creative, often music-focused pirate broadcasting has been thriving on shortwave. Reporter Katie Thornton reveals how these surreptitious broadcasters are up against a surprising enemy: not the FCC, but a deep-pocketed group of finance bros that is trying to wrestle the airwaves away from the public, and use them for a money-making scheme completely antithetical to broadcasting. What do we lose when we give up our public airwaves?Further reading:Remarks of FCC Commissioner Anna M.

Anna Gomez was born and raised in the city of Makati, Philippines before she met and married her best friend who whisked her away to Chicago over twenty years ago. You may recognise Anna as she has been on our show twice before. She came on alongside actor and author Kristoffer Polaha. They wrote a book series together and we talked about the difficulties and joys of doing so.Anna is a full time career woman who thought she could write a book about her life (The Light in the Wound, Christine Brae 2013) and then run away as far as possible from it. She never imagined that her words would touch the hearts of so many women with the same story to tell. Since then, Anna has released six more books under her pen name, Christine Brae.In December 2019, her agent convinced her to write one more book. Different model, different subject matter. Clean, contemporary, happy endings. Reluctantly, she decided to give it a try. This time, under her real name, Anna Gomez.When not listening to the voices in her head or spending late nights at the office, Anna can be seen shopping for shoes and purses, running a half marathon or spending time with her husband and three children in Chicago.Anna is represented by Italia Gandolfo of Gandolfo Helin Literary Management, and is published by the Vesuvian Media Group.Her latest novel is MY GOODBYE GIRL:“A heart-wrenching tale of two people destined to be together.

Federal Communications Commission Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel proposed $200 million to strengthen cybersecurity and protect school networks. Funding would be available over three years through a pilot program within the Universal Service Fund, but separate from the E-rate program, which currently funds internet connections within schools and libraries. This new investment would help school districts address the growing numbers of cyberattacks, which have caused learning loss, expenses, and headaches for district leaders. It's also a direct response to pleas from over a thousand school districts and formal requests from a coalition, including All4Ed, asking the FCC to help “schools and libraries struggling on the wrong side of the cybersecurity poverty line.”This proposal is one part of the Chairwoman's Learn Without Limits initiative, announced last month. In addition to strengthening cybersecurity, Rosenworcel is proposing to expand internet access by funding Wi-Fi on school buses and Wi-Fi hotspots that students could check out just like a book from the school library. These policies are needed now, because federal funding for home internet access will dry up by the end of this year unless Congress replenishes the Emergency Connectivity Fund (ECF). While they wouldn't replace the supporty 17 million students currently receive through ECF, these proposals are a step in the right direction.But will they actually be implemented? That depends on the U.S. Senate. In order for Chairwoman Rosenworcel's proposals to take effect, she needs support from a majority of FCC commissioners. The FCC is supposed to have five commissioners, but today, it only has four because President Biden's initial nominee for the fifth position – Gigi Sohn – withdrew due to opposition from Senate Republicans and Senator Joe Manchin, who said he wouldn't vote for her.The Senate Commerce Committee approved Biden's new nominee, Anna Gomez, along with the reappointment of two sitting Commissioners – Geoffrey Starks, a Democrat, and Brendan Carr, a Republican.If the full Senate approves all three nominations, the FCC will have its full slate of commissioners, including a 3-2 majority for Democrats. That would give Rosenworcel the votes she needs to push through her Learn Without Limits agenda. We'll keep you posted once these nominations hit the Senate floor in the coming weeks.Thank you for reading our follow up blog. We will be back with a new All4Ed Flash next week.

Gigi Sohn, President Biden's former nominee for FCC Commissioner, joins the podcast to discuss her nomination process, and what it says about dark money in politics and the industry at large. We also discuss what her most urgent goals would have been as FCC Commissioner, the state of the FCC's broadband map as it relates to the $42.5 billion Broadband Equity, Access and Deployment (BEAD) program, her concerns about the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) running dry, how she hopes to reframe the public broadband debate and much more.*This conversation was recorded before President Biden nominated Anna Gomez to serve as FCC Commissioner on May 22.The unedited audio transcript is available in the media player of this episode page.

Kristoffer Polaha is best-known for his long starring role in the critically acclaimed series Life Unexpected (The CW). Other TV series credits include Get Shorty with Ray Romano and Chris O'Dowd, the limited series Condor opposite William Hurt and Max Irons, The CW's Ringer (Sarah Michelle Gellar) and Valentine, as well as North Shore (FOX).

Anna Gomez was born and raised in the city of Makati, Philippines before she met and married her best friend who whisked her away to Chicago over twenty years ago. Anna is a full time career woman who thought she could write a book about her life (The Light in the Wound, Christine Brae 2013) and then run away as far as possible from it. She never imagined that her words would touch the hearts of so many women with the same story to tell. Since then, Anna has released five more books under her pen name, Christine Brae. In December 2019, her agent convinced her to write one more book. Different model, different subject matter. Clean, contemporary, happy endings. Reluctantly, she decided to give it a try. This time, under her real name, Anna Gomez.
