South Africa Talks "Spychips"
I was thrilled to speak with Kate Turkington last night on Johannesburg's number 1 news and information station, Talk Radio 702. Ms. Turkington is one of South Africa's best-known travellers and travel writers. Her weekly Sunday night 3-hour live Radio702/Cape Talk talkshow, Believe It Or Not, is the longest-running radio talkshow in South Africa.
Some of her past guests include: the Dalai Lama, Deepak Chopra, Goldie Hawn, Dr. Andrew Weil, Gordon Smith (The Psychic Barber), Stephen Jay Gould, Professor Phillip Tobias, Desmond Morris, the Archbishop of Canterbury, Desmond Tutu, cabinet ministers, leading religious figures, Richard Dawkins (The Selfish Gene) Neale Donald Walsch (Conversations With God), Ela Gandhi (Daughter of Mahatma Gandhi) Nadine Gordimer, Arthur Blessitt (The Man Who Carried The Cross Around The World In Every Nation), Psychic and Prophet Aaron C. Donahue, leading literary figures such as John Sandford, Graham Hancock, Bruce Feiler and other authors too numerous to mention.
On the Sunday evening show, she interviewed me (Liz McIntyre) about the book Spychips, as well as Dr. Steven Covey (author of The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People) and author David Plotz of The Genius Factory.
Thanks to everyone who is helping us spread the word about the serious privacy and civil liberties implications of RFID around the world!
