The Allegheny County District Attorney dropped all charges against Elliot Madison and Michael Wallschlaeger, the famed G20 Twitterers who were arrested during the Pittsburgh Summit in late September of this year. The two activists were arrested and charged with numerous felonies for setting up a communications network that allowed people to tweet about the activities of protesters and police during the G20 Summit. Rustbelt Radio brings us this report.
Rustbelt Radio brings this report on Onorato's gubernatorial announcement.
On Wednesday night, Rustbelt Radio interviewed two homeless men on the streets of downtown Pittsburgh about the police presence in the area. Many of the area's homeless population have been displaced from the downtown area by the G-20 summit. Though authorities have set up a system to deal with possible arrests of homeless individuals who failed to vacated the security perimeter of downtown Pittsburgh, it is unclear what has happened in the last two days.
On Monday, September 21 local activist Mimi Yahn spoke at the Women's Tent City, explaining the effects of war on women and the need to develop alternative systems, policies and models to create gender equality. After this talk, Rustbelt Radio interviewed her on the book she is coauthoring, an alternative feminist social model, and how both relate to the policies of the G20.
At the Bail out the People Tent City, Rustbelt Radio spoke to Sophia Bryant from Picture the Homeless, a New York based advocacy group entirely run by homeless or formerly homeless people.
Rustbelt Radio spoke with Sharon Black about the Bail out the People Movement and the March for Jobs.
Report on the struggle for the right to express dissent with the G20. As local government officials emphasize the benefits the G20 will bring to Pittsburgh, and roll out a red-carpet welcome for their arrival, an intense battle is being waged around the right to express dissent with the policies of the G20. Many Pittsburghers do not agree with the government storyline that Pittsburgh is an example of a successful economic recovery and transition to a green economy.

The first podcast since getting married, Don Deeley is in town to share his thoughts and experiences about being in Vancouver for a week, attending our wedding, and being the DJ/MC at our reception. After a night of a little alcohol and some hockey, we sat down at our dinning room table to chat a little. Listen to it all, fast forward the slow parts, or just wait for the next episode when it comes out. We’re tired, silly, having fun, and exhausted from the events from the past weekend. That’s life!
