Jim Babka - Media Figure

Media Figure

Jim Babka regularly appears on radio talk shows, and in April 2005, began hosting his own one hour radio talk show, each Sunday afternoon, on the Genesis Communications Network. Over time, the popularity of the show expanded, and in January 2008, the network expanded Jim's show to two hours. For one year it was sponsored by the Marijuana Policy Project. And for the entire time it aired, it was sponsored by Gun Owners of America. Jim's final broadcast was August 24, 2008. He would sign-off his show by saying, "Support the troops -- by bringing them home. Bye, bye!"

Babka has guest-hosted other programs, including Harry Browne's political show for all but two of the last eight months of Mr. Browne's life. He conducted two weeks of tribute episodes after Mr. Browne's passing that featured live guests and recorded memorials friends and associates, as well as figures like Larry Elder, David Nolan, Lew Rockwell, and Ron Paul.

In 2004, Babka also launched a website, CultureRepair.com, with one product—a CD titled, "Why Conservative Christians Are Re-evaluating George W. Bush." The CD sold more than 600 copies. Other CDs were planned, but he never found the time to get back to the project.

Babka joined the group blog PositiveLiberty.com in November 2007. This outlet gives him a chance to write about his political interests and much more. Babka had his own blog from 2003 to 2005. He shocked many of his friends when he came out in opposition to Intelligent Design, and in favor of Theistic Evolution.

Babka has deep interests in several subjects, and he told radio host Gary Nolan that since he was freed of his radio show hosting responsibility, he's begun working on writing his own books.

Famous quotes containing the words media and/or figure:

    Never before has a generation of parents faced such awesome competition with the mass media for their children’s attention. While parents tout the virtues of premarital virginity, drug-free living, nonviolent resolution of social conflict, or character over physical appearance, their values are daily challenged by television soaps, rock music lyrics, tabloid headlines, and movie scenes extolling the importance of physical appearance and conformity.
    Marianne E. Neifert (20th century)

    The camera can represent flesh so superbly that, if I dared, I would never photograph a figure without asking that figure to take its clothes off.
    George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
