Segments Saturday Session
If you missed some Saturday's show, be sure to check out some of the highlights from Saturday Session. With Bishop's interview of Ralph (mp3), a Facebook user whose account was hacked by a Nigerian scammer, you can hear a frightening story about how your Facebook account may be compromised. Also, get an update on the Public Access 4 Producers group's efforts (mp3) to get that important channel back on your Springfield cable with Mario Ingoglia.
Between February 28th and April 19th, 1993, the ATF and then the FBI had their sites on David Koresh ... why? The last hour of Saturday Session (mp3) focused in depth on the events that began the 51 day siege on the Branch Davidians of Waco, TX. Was it because of accusations of child rape or accusations of illegal weapons and drugs or merely a huge publicity stunt gone wrong? This is the first of several installments of that historic event Saturday Session will focus on.
As always, you can check out some of the past shows at the Saturday Session streaming channel from 970 WMAY, The News and Talk of Springfield.

Tonight on the show
Facebook is not secure. Yesterday, a Nigerian scammer/hacker took over a friend's Facebook account and had been asking all the friend' unsuspecting connections for help with hotel bills in London. This scam has happened before on other chatting services or via email. The friend, whose account was hacked, did some research and found an article from last year that explains how Facebook hacks are possible. Read the article here, and ask yourself "does Facebook's lack of security prove incompetence or negligence?" It's a shame, either way.
What, you didn't hear?
