Click play to listen. Recorded on November 13, 1993.

Former congressman Lane Evans, Democrat from the Quad Cities, organizes and leads a discussion with media consultant and the current senior advisor for President Obama, David Axelrod. These two political minds came together for the Chicago Humanities Festival in 1993 to speak about political advertising, communicating with constituents, negative campaigning and utilizing the medium of television. This panel discussion, now over 15 years old, is truly fascinating insofar as it is as relevant now as it was then. Do not miss these deft moments of insight and foresight.
