Hardman in Peru: September 2006
http://hardmaninperu.blogspot.com/2006_09_01_archive.html
Saturday, September 30, 2006. Keep on Rockin' in the 3rd World. I had the tables turned on me in my classroom the other day. Actually, that's a pretty frequent occurence as you can see by this photo. My students are debating the finer points of their homework assignment(an assignment they did not do). But this was different, this time we were teetering on a very fundamental explanation and understanding of journalism, functional democracy and Perú. It got even more complicated. Let s just say the gringo ...

Hardman in Peru: February 2007
http://hardmaninperu.blogspot.com/2007_02_01_archive.html
Thursday, February 22, 2007. I had the fortune of shadowing a local radio reporter here in Lima a few weeks ago. The day starts early, 5 am, but I am used to it after years of the early morning news shift in Chicago. When you get up that early you are dealing with a very select group of people, most of them doing some serious labor and not sitting in an ergonomic chair, zoning out at a computer like I was. Back to Lima and the present. So I got up at 4 and hit the RPP radio studios at 5, the sun was.

Hardman in Peru: March 2007

Thursday, March 29, 2007. Can a society control all the variables that make up the good and the bad of daily life? Anthony Porter was a gang member during a time in the United States when politicians where using high rates of crime as a way to get elected. Porter was guilty of living in a bad neighborhood during a time when he and most of his peers were in gangs. Did he kill two people? No Was he sentenced to die? Posted by J. Hardman @ 7:52 AM.

Hardman in Peru: October 2006
http://hardmaninperu.blogspot.com/2006_10_01_archive.html
Monday, October 23, 2006. A dispatch from Buenos Aires. The object of disdain is a soccer game and in particular the home team, Boca Juniors, a capable squad that has just taken a 1-0 lead. In fact the Boca players are more than capable, seemingly unbeatable as they dance around their helpless opponents as if intoxicated with the spirit of the tango, a dance that got its start a few blocks away from the stadium. Just a few days before Boca Juniors was rated the best soccer club in the world. Perhaps upon...

Hardman in Peru: December 2006
http://hardmaninperu.blogspot.com/2006_12_01_archive.html
Thursday, December 14, 2006. Examen Final: Radio Canchita. I know I sure did. Here are some photos from the show and audio of the first part of the program. Listen To Radio Canchita, Parte 1. The audio cuts in and out a little in certain parts. Radio Canchita (Canchita was chosen because it is a double entendre. It is the salty corn bars put out to go with beer, it is also slang for soccer pitch and for the political field too). We used some old fashioned methods to get the crowd involved. Invidente eres...

Posted by J. Hardman @ 5:52 AM. Sunday, November 19, 2006. Fool me once, shame on. Would prefer a non obligatory voting system. They said that too many people make up their mind in line, or leave selections blank opening the door for strategically paid voting booth attendants to add some ink. Is there a system...Perio...
