Title: "Consumerism and Skymall Magazine " radio episode
Description: An audio recording by Oregon Congressman Les AuCoin recounting how he kept himself occupied on a recent airline flight by reading SkyMall magazine. AuCoin asserts that consumerism is so embedded in the American economy that we can not help but give in to unnecessary products that magazines sell. This is one episode from AuCoin's biweekly radio show on Jefferson Public Radio (JPR), which ran after he had retired from office. The majority of episodes feature his commentary on current political events, often focusing on issues important to southern Oregon where JPR is based. This episode probably aired in mid-2002.
