Michael Vail, formerly a co-host of Black Listed Radio, has been hosting his own show on Oracle for the past couple of months called The Vantage Point. Currently he seems to be getting some pretty amazing interviews and it's very interesting to listen to these and the debriefs that follow usually with guests & fellow Oracle broadcasters Will Roberts & Vicky Davis.
I just listened to the 13 June 2010 broadcast where he interviewed futurist Hazel Henderson and thoroughly recommend others download the podcast and have a listen too as it's a great show. Podcast is here -

The debrief discussion with Will & Vickie after the interview is absolutely worth it's weight in gold! Here's the blurb from The Vantage Point website -
