Eat Chocolate for a Better Earth? Sweet!

If you had the fortune of catching Live Earth NY this past Saturday either on TV or in person, you most likely saw the spectacular Roger Waters performance of "Another Brick in the Wall 2". If you didn't get goosebumps at the irreverent almost combustible tone of that song, then maybe you need to check yourself (before you wreck yourself)- 'cause from where we were sitting at the concert everyone was frankly, inspired. In the same spirit, today's show features an unlikely medium but with this same message of rebellion, reform and originality.

Today's Featured Radio Guest:

Sarah Endline - Mastermind and Chief Rioter of Sweet Riot, "human, globally responsible, irreverent" candy company featuring low calorie 'peaces' of cacao bean covered in yummy dark chocolate.
