''The David Pakman Show'' (''TDPS''), originally ''Midweek Politics with David Pakman'', is a political multiplatform politics and news talk show currently airing on radio, television, and the Internet, hosted by David Pakman. The program first aired in August 2005 on a radio station located in Northampton, Massachusetts, later being nationally syndicated, and eventually achieving broader international distribution in a number of countries as well as being distributed online.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The David Pakman Show | Stations )〕 The focus of the show is modern American politics and society, with frequent discussion of economics, religion in public life, reason, gay rights, capital punishment and crime, policing, the Israeli–Palestinian conflict, American foreign policy, and other topical issues. The show is noted for interviewing a large number of fringe, or "extremist" personalities in an effort to expose their views. ==History== David Pakman was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, to an Eastern European and Jewish family, and moved to the United States at the age of 5. He started the radio program at age 21 on Pacifica radio affiliate WXOJ while an undergraduate student at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, during his time as an intern at the Media Education Foundation. Public radio syndication began in 2006 on the Pacifica Radio Network through Vivid Edge Media Group. Initially, a handful of non-commercial talk radio stations broadcast the show with syndication. The show expanded in 2007 to more public radio stations. Pakman was for a time the youngest syndicated radio host in the United States.〔 The same year, Louis Motamedi, a childhood friend of Pakman's, was added as radio producer. In 2009, ''TDPS'' added its first commercial radio affiliates, starting with Green 1640 in Atlanta, Georgia and WHMP Northampton, Massachusetts. On September 2, ''Midweek Politics'', a simultaneously-produced television show, was launched, originally offered to public-access television stations across the country as well as published on the show's YouTube Channel. The number of television affiliates grew and Pakman attributed this to expanding from radio to a visual medium. In 2010, ''TDPS'' launched a paid membership program maintaining the podcast at no charge, but offering subscribers extra show segments, behind-the-scenes interviews, and access to show archives. In July of that year, the show obtained national television distribution through Free Speech TV. The show's first international affiliate, Öppna Kanalen Skövde in Skövde, Sweden, announced in September that it would be airing the program.〔 At the same time, the show was moved from WXOJ to its own studio in Northampton, Massachusetts, for both the radio and television versions. The name was changed to ''The David Pakman Show'' (''TDPS''), expanding from a weekly program to two episodes per week, broadcast live on Mondays and Thursdays at 3pm Eastern Standard Time. In March 2012, ''TDPS'' announced an expansion to four episodes per week, Monday-Thursday, and a move to an earlier live broadcast time, 2pm EST. The same year, the show joined ''The Young Turks'' network, although it has since left the network.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://redd.it/2oy0k4 )〕 New content and video versions of existing radio programming were produced, including ''Liberal Oasis Radio Show'' hosted by blogger Bill Scher, ''Take Action News with David Shuster'', television journalist, and ''World View with Denis Campbell'', Editor-in-Chief of UK Progressive Magazine. As of October 2013, only Word View with Dennis Campbell was being actively produced by TDPS. In August 2013, the show moved from Northampton, Massachusetts to New York City, where the program's main studio is housed. Concurrently, producer Louis Motamedi moved to Austin, Texas, where he launched the Austin bureau of The David Pakman Show. Motamedi's role on the program remained unchanged, including serving as co-host, producer, and host of the members only Bonus Show. In 2014 the show expanded to a full 5 shows/week. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The David Pakman Show」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
