By Liz Bulkley on Wednesday, January 3, 2007.

When the internet was still a new concept, some predicted it would democratize the music industry and put power back into the hands of artists.

Tonight on the Front Porch, We'll find out how technology has impacted music over the years, and what the future may look like for tomorrow's artists.

Host Liz Bulkley speaks with Mark Katz, author of Capturing Sound: How Technology Has Changed Music. Mark is assistant professor of Ethnomusicology at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

Previewing the Presidential Race for 2008

By Laura Knoy on Wednesday, January 3, 2007.

We're still two years away from the next Presidential election and the politicking has already begun. Several notable candidates from both parties have already declared and several more are expected to declare their intentions very soon. Among the names mentioned on the Democratic side: Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama and the just announced John Edwards, while notable Republicans include John McCain, Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich. We'll look at who the players are, including some of the lesser known candidates, why the campaign for the presidency has started so early this cycle and what we can expect to see over the next year or two as we approach the 2008 presidential election. Laura's guests are James Pindell, Political Correspondent for the Boston Globe, and Jen Donahue, Senior Advisor for Politics at the New Hampshire Institute of Politics at St. Anselm College.
