The Highway 101 snakes along the length of California - and it is on this road that Myles Dungan has been travelling for the last few months, meeting some of the most interesting minds in the Golden State. His new interview programme features those who defy a more conventional view of America - such as 60s activist Tom Hayden, Robert Reich - a member of Clinton's Camelot, Native American Madonna Thunder Hawk, journalist Lowell Bergman and others - such as environmentalists, writers, campaigners and thinkers and each guest will be choosing the music, films and poetry that have most inspired over the years. en-ie RTÉ 2007 RTÉ podcasting@rte.ie Thu, 23 Aug 2007 13:34:02 +0100 http://www.rte.ie/radio1/images/logo_podcast_144.jpg http://www.rte.ie/radio1/highway101/ 144 144 Society & Culture no RTÉ:Ireland http://pc.rte.ie/2007/pc/pod-v-050707-01m03s-highway101.mp3 Find out more about the series.

He joined the CIA in the 1970s, when, straight out of university, being a member of the organisation meant you assumed different identities, infiltrated terrorist groups and loosened the tongues of informers - all in the name of keeping America safe. He attempted - and failed - to involve the Clinton administration in a plot to overthrow Saddam Hussain and eventually left the CIA disillusioned and discouraged. He talks to Myles about his life inside the CIA and how Ireland is a haven for those who need top-secret information. 0:40:44 http://pc.rte.ie/2007/pc/pod-v-070707-40m44s-highway101.mp3 Thu, 5 Jul 2007 00:00:00 +0100 no RTÉ:Ireland http://pc.rte.ie/2007/pc/pod-v-140707-39m51s-highway101.mp3 Highway 101 - journalist Lowell Bergman, whose life was featured in the film The Insider, talks about standing up to the tobacco industry Highway 101 - journalist Lowell Bergman, whose life was featured in the film The Insider, talks about standing up to the tobacco industry Highway 101 - journalist Lowell Bergman, whose life was featured in the film The Insider, talks about standing up to the tobacco industry 0:39:51 http://pc.rte.ie/2007/pc/pod-v-140707-39m51s-highway101.mp3 Thu, 5 Jul 2007 00:00:00 +0100 no RTÉ:Ireland http://pc.rte.ie/2007/pc/pod-v-21070736m59s-highway101.mp3 Highway 101 - Robert Reich was in Clinton's cabinet.
